Many people know how destructive plant diseases can be.
Among them, late blight and powdery mildew occupy a special place.
Sometimes it seems that it is impossible to overcome diseases. However, a simple and affordable component will come to the rescue.
How to defeat common diseases with iodine?
Powdery mildew
It is best not to wait for the disease to actively spread, but to start acting as early as possible. In this case, the harvest will definitely be saved.
It is recommended to mix nine liters of settled water with one ml of iodine in a bucket. You also need to add four glasses of whey.
The affected plants are treated with this solution once every six days.
Late blight
Any gardener knows: in the case of late blight, there is definitely no time to waste. This disease progresses too quickly and actively "captures" new territories.
The first thing to do is to remove the parts of the plant damaged by the disease. Then take two ml of iodine per nine liters of water and one liter of whey.
Treatment with this composition is carried out once every one and a half weeks.
