Firstly, the solution is easy and convenient to prepare.

Secondly, there is no need to soak the sets.

Thirdly, overdosing on active ingredients is excluded, because the powder is dissolved according to the instructions, and the treatment is carried out using a spray bottle.

How to make a solution

You will need to dissolve 10 grams of phytosporin in 0.5 liters of water and carry out the treatment.

And to prevent the onion from going to seed, it needs to be dried near a heating device or in an open oven heated to 30 degrees Celsius.
