Are your zucchini withering for no apparent reason?
Perhaps the "invisible" predecessors are to blame!
The journal Phytopathology warns: if watermelons or melons grew in the garden bed before the zucchini, the soil is infected with the fungus Didymella bryoniae .
It attacks the roots, causing rot. A gardener from Astrakhan complained in the group "Bakhchevody":
“After the watermelons, the zucchini rotted on the vine – as if they had been doused with acid!”
But there is good news: legumes such as soybeans and lentils cleanse the soil of pathogens.
An experiment by the University of Georgia has proven that planting soybeans before squash reduces the risk of disease by 65%.
And if you add the drug Trichocin (based on Trichoderma) to the holes, as advised by agronomist Sergei Zhukov, the harvest will double.
Don't let the past harvest dictate your future - build it on knowledge!
