It is impossible to remove all pests and pathogenic microflora from a vegetable garden or in a garden. Pests tend to migrate from neighboring areas.
They often carry various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly fight pests and diseases.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to safely treat beds in the spring from pests and diseases.
Against pests
To combat pests, summer residents are advised to use the preparations "Fufanon-Nova" and "Aliot". These chemicals remain effective for up to 20-30 days.
The following folk remedies can serve as an alternative to chemistry:
to protect potatoes, the ground is sprinkled with ash and sawdust (it is believed that they help drive away Colorado beetles), but it is better to leave potato traps soaked in malathion;
in greenhouses, before transplanting, they are treated with a solution of copper sulfate, potassium permanganate or laundry soap, after which disinfected soil is added, and after two weeks, biological preparations are added;
They also plant plants that repel pests (onions, garlic, marigolds, calendula and other green manures), attract birds, amphibians and ladybugs.
From diseases
If the garden is infected with fungus or you often have to deal with other diseases, then "Fitosporin-M" or "Trichodermin" will help out gardeners.
In this case, you should not rely on folk remedies, and the solutions are prepared and used strictly according to the instructions.
