As is known, many diseases are transmitted with planting material.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how pre-sowing treatment can be carried out.
First of all, it is worth saying that the procedure must be applied to all seed material, with one exception.
This rule does not apply only to seeds that have already been treated by the manufacturer.
So, for pre-sowing treatment, fungicide solutions can be used.
For this you will need industrial preparations such as Fitosporin, Maxim or Fundazol.
In addition, you can resort to folk methods, for example, immerse the seeds in a raspberry solution of potassium permanganate.
Alternatively, soak the seeds in a solution of salt and baking soda before sowing. You will need 1 teaspoon of each ingredient per 0.5 cup of water.
