Why do summer residents treat cucumbers and tomatoes with a mixture of milk and iodine: not everyone knows about this - a useful trick

Surely many have heard about the "magic" mixture of milk and iodine, which is commonly used in the process of caring for cucumbers and tomatoes.

Not all summer residents use this remedy.

However, it can really be very useful and valuable if used correctly, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist.

Why is milk and iodine mixture used?

Many people know that tomatoes are susceptible to late blight. But cucumbers run the risk of their leaves turning yellow. Treatment with the specified composition can protect against these unfavorable scenarios.

The product is also considered an excellent preventative against powdery mildew.

There is an opinion that treatment with milk and iodine will also protect the beds from the appearance of aphids.

How to prepare the composition

The working mixture is easy to prepare. First, take a partial bucket of water and pour a packet of regular milk into it.

Next, add 10 to 20 drops of iodine. You can also add a little soap.
