Since strawberries are grown, perhaps, in every plot, all summer residents without exception should know about the diseases that can affect this crop.

Thus, dark spots can often be seen on the leaves of the plant, as well as on the shoots, fruits and flowers. According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , this is nothing more than a sign of brown spot.

The fungus mainly affects strawberries at the end of the season, that is, in August, September and October, and if the weather is rainy, the speed of its spread increases several times.

Since the fight against this disease requires a lot of effort and resources from the gardener, it makes sense to take care of its prevention.

For this you will need a preparation called Bordeaux mixture.

It is worth treating the strawberry plantation with this product twice: before flowering begins and after the strawberries have finished flowering.

To prepare the solution, you will need to fill a 10-liter bucket with water and dilute 0.1 liters of Bordeaux mixture in it.

Once the product is ready, pour it into a spray bottle and head to the strawberry beds to treat all the leaves.
