How to protect strawberries from diseases: a method of experienced gardeners - it can be done even when the berries are forming
During the period when fruits are forming on strawberry bushes, forget about using any “chemicals” to combat diseases.
Your option is biopreparations, and first of all, according to the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , biopreparations based on Trichoderma.
Such compositions best protect strawberries from gray rot.
Another worthy option is hay bacillus or products that contain both hay bacillus and trichoderma.
However, there is another popular way to treat strawberries against diseases – with milk.
The recipe from folk craftsmen looks like this: you need to take a liter of fresh milk straight from the cow and dilute it in 10 liters of water.
The resulting solution should be used to treat the bushes during the period when the strawberries have already set and are beginning to ripen.
As a result, milk fungi settle on the leaves, stems and flowers of strawberries, and this beneficial milk microflora prevents gray rot from affecting strawberries.
