To treat extensive late blight damage to tomato beds, it is recommended to use fungicidal preparations.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to prepare a working solution, strictly following the manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging.

One of these effective remedies is a solution of copper sulfate, prepared from 2 tablespoons of the preparation and 10 liters of water.
