Black leg is perhaps the main reason why plants die at the earliest stage of development.
Seedlings can be saved if you act proactively, rather than waiting until the disease destroys the seedlings.
The mold fungi that cause blackleg live in the soil and become active before beneficial microorganisms.
Fungi penetrate through the integumentary tissues of seedlings and begin to parasitize. It is easier to prevent infection than to try to cure black leg.
For prevention purposes, experienced gardeners recommend treating the soil with a product that destroys pathogens.
The place where the soil was taken from plays a significant role. Infections tend to accumulate, so it is better not to touch the area where the plants were affected by diseases.
For prevention purposes, products based on hay bacillus are used. They perfectly protect plants from black leg. But it is important to use such products in advance, and not after the problem has already appeared.
