As is known, late blight is the scourge of all nightshade plants, for example, potatoes or tomatoes.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , late blight is most often observed in the second half of summer.
Characteristic signs are mold or cobwebs on the leaves, and the leaves or fruits themselves are brownish-gray in color.
In this case, all affected leaves and fruits should be collected and destroyed, and the top of the plant should be pinched off so that it spends its energy fighting the disease.
Unripe fruits should also be picked and left to ripen on the table.
To avoid having to resort to such radical measures, it is worth taking preventive measures.
Village gardeners with many years of experience use kefir for this purpose - a liter of fermented milk product is needed for a bucket of water.
The resulting solution is used for watering once a week. In addition, it can also be used for spraying.
