What is potato plague?
This is a serious disease of plants caused by Phytophthora’s fungus. He most often attacks potatoes and tomatoes, causing harvest damage. This disease has a destructive effect on the entire crops and destroys harvest. At first, he attacks leaves, stems and fruits, making stains appear on them. At first, they are brown and small, and sometimes they grow, making the whole plant begin to die. Potato plague attacks all cultivation and can move between plants. To avoid the risk of plants infection, prevention and hygiene of crop are important. They can strengthen the plant’s immune system and protect them from mushroom attacks. It is also important to properly protect the soil by planting. Always dig it thoroughly and remove the remains of other plants. Care should be taken care of properly hydration, avoiding it and lack of ventilation. The soil around plants should be well aerated and permeable. If the disease attacks, preventive measures should be implemented immediately, as well as regularly removed infected shoots and stems.
Homemade spraying for potato plague in tomatoes. The physicist from Bydgoszcz showed how to deal with the disease
There are many. Experts often indicate natural spraying of baking soda or bakery yeast. A friend of the physicist showed me one more way. This is an ecological spraying of iodine. All you have to do is dissolve 40 drops of iodine in 10 liters of water. Mix the whole thoroughly and pour into a bottle with an atomizer. Spydz these infected and healthy plants (for preventive purposes). Perform this type of treatment in the afternoon when the sun’s rays do not burn the leaves. Jodine spraying will effectively stop the development of mushroom spores. Experts indicate that it is worth using it regularly on moist days. Thanks to this, you will reduce the risk of developing the disease. Regular use of iodine will not only strengthen plant resistance, but also improve growth and fruiting.
