Your plants are already infected with deadly diseases, but you don’t notice it!
Learn how to recognize hidden symptoms before it's too late. If you miss these signs, you'll be without vegetables and flowers by summer!
Mistakes of gardeners
The first mistake is ignoring the white coating on the leaves. This is powdery mildew, which turns the bushes into dead wood in a week.
The second is blaming the yellow spots on the sun. In fact, it is late blight, which kills tomatoes in 3 days.
The third problem is stem wilting. This is how black leg appears, which destroys 90% of seedlings.
The fourth mistake is failure to treat the seeds. Viruses hide on the shell and are activated during germination.
The fifth mistake is watering with cold water. It provokes root rot, which is not visible until the plant dies.
Tips and tricks
To prevent powdery mildew, spray the plants with whey (1:5 with water). Lactic acid suppresses fungi.
For late blight, use Fitolavin (20 ml per 10 l of water).
To prevent blackleg, water the soil with Trichodermin (5 g per 1 l) before sowing. Soak the seeds in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes.
To protect against root rot, add “Gliocladin” to the water (1 tablet per 1 l).
If the leaves are covered with brown spots, it is anthracnose. Spray the plants with a solution of copper sulfate (10 g per 10 l of water).
In case of aphids, treat the bushes with tobacco infusion: pour 100 g of shag tobacco into 1 liter of boiling water, leave for 24 hours, then dilute in 5 liters of water.
To protect against spider mites, use garlic infusion: pour 200 g of crushed garlic into 10 liters of water and leave for 24 hours.
Agronomist's advice
Disease is easier to prevent, so inspect your plantings once a week.
Remember that spider mites are only visible under magnification, and gray spots on tomatoes indicate the appearance of rot.
