Quite often, during the summer season, gardeners have to deal with such a problem as late blight.
This disease affects nightshade crops and has a tender passion for potatoes, tomatoes and even eggplants.
Phytophthora is a fungus that can cause plant death and crop loss, because the fruits affected by it cannot be eaten. Moreover, the pathogen even infects seeds.
It is understandable why many summer residents give up when they see signs of illness.
To avoid being in their place, learn about effective ways to combat this scourge. Here are the best products that will help protect your garden from late blight.
Chatterbox
To prepare this simple but effective remedy, you will need to pour a tablespoon of soda, 3 tablespoons of unrefined vegetable oil and a tablespoon of grated laundry soap into 7 liters of water.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until they are completely dissolved. Then immediately spray the plants with a spray bottle.
Pine needle decoction
In the fight against late blight, you can resort to the help of pine needles, among other things. Boil 1 kg of spruce or pine needles in 2 liters of water for 10 minutes, then let the broth cool and strain through cheesecloth. Dilute the resulting composition with water in a ratio of 1:4 and add 30 g of laundry soap.
The product is used to spray plants immediately after its preparation so that all its beneficial properties are preserved.
Mullein infusion
The preparation is prepared by adding 2 liters of mullein to a bucket of water. It is better to use a broom or a large brush to treat the plants, as the sprayer can become clogged. Apply the infusion to the leaves and stems to protect the plants from fungus.
