Gray mold is a dangerous disease for garden strawberries. The appearance of fungus on the fruit is considered a sign of the disease.
If a gardener does not stop the development of the disease, he may lose up to 80 percent of the harvest.
Special preparations have demonstrated effectiveness in the fight against gray mold.
However, experienced gardeners do not recommend that novice gardeners spend money on expensive products.
The fact is that one solution consisting of cheap and accessible ingredients helps to defeat this dangerous disease.
A lifesaver
If a summer resident sees the first signs of gray mold on strawberries, then he needs to urgently open the first aid kit.
Is there a bottle of iodine in it? That's very good! After all, it is this remedy that will help you overcome the disease.
You need to add 10 milliliters of iodine to a bucket filled with water.
After thorough mixing, you will get a liquid that should be sprinkled on the strawberries.
The procedure will need to be repeated twice: ten and twenty days after the first spraying.
Iodine solution can also be used as a preventative measure: the risk of gray mold on strawberries will be minimal.
