Protection against gray mold of strawberries

It is recommended to carry out this procedure twice during the season. In this case, you can be sure that you will not have to deal with this disease.

The first time the beds should be treated a week before the planned flowering. The second treatment is carried out when the flowering is already completed.

The method is simple. It is enough to dilute one ml in a bucket of water. Afterwards, not only the plants themselves are treated, but also the spaces between the rows.

Protecting apples from fruit rot

This disease is also considered dangerous, so you should not wait for the moment the disease appears. It is better to work ahead of time. To do this, take one ml of iodine for each liter of water.

Then carry out leaf treatment. Try to spray the apple tree 30 days before you plan to harvest. After the first treatment, wait 72 hours and carry it out again.
