RESCUE CIRCUIT FOR FIGHTING PHYTOFLUORA

Phytophthora on flowers

It is accepted to consider, that late blight – this is the scourge of tomatoes and potatoes. In fact, the disease has long reached ornamental crops., predominantly arboreal and shrub.

Many beloved magnolias are at risk, hydrangeas and rhododendrons. Also, cases of infection were detected on Japanese pieris, common heather, photinia, oak petiole, Japanese larch, hewn western, ate sit hin… The causative agent of the disease does not sleep and every year expands its "possession". Ksenia Yurievna NEFEDOVA taught how to fight him, agronomist.

We know the reason - we will stop the disease

Microclimate

Rainy weather is most favorable for the development of spores., fogs, cold dew, large differences in day and night temperatures. Such weather conditions are already observed in August. Means, it's time to protect the garden. First, we process the plants with "Farmayod" (3-5 ml / 10 l of water). Moreover, with this solution, you need not only to spray the foliage, but also shedding soil. In a couple of days we bring into the ground "Vostok EM-1"(according to instructions). If late blight has already appeared, repeat processing after 7 days. For the purpose of prevention - after two weeks.

Liming

Mushrooms contain up to 28% calcium, means, availability of-

to lead in the soil for them is a vital necessity. And many people sometimes so diligently deoxidize the soil, not knowing either its composition, neither the quality and quantity of applied lime. This is why fertility declines over time., and the plants get sick. Do you think, that the soil in your area is too acidic? Add vermicompost! It absorbs excess "acid", and also regulates humidity levels and is responsible for feeding green friends.

If the guarantor is balanced.

The causative agent of phytophthora neutralizes beneficial microorganisms, which normally live in the earth. But they die, if you dig the soil, use pesticides, zealous with mineral fertilizers, do not add organic (not manure!). It is possible to restore microflora with surface soil treatment and mulching. Organic growers prefer mowed lawn mulch. Or hay, but not from the fields, treated with "chemistry".

Poor immunity

Disease bypasses strong plants, and the weak "feel a mile away". Strengthen your pets' immunity. Spray them with a decoction of coniferous branches (recipe cm. below), ready-made stimulant based on cedar extract HB-101 or "Ecogel". Modern biologic drug "Phytolavin" (concentrate from metabolic products of soil fungi) increases the resistance of ornamental crops against late blight. Spraying is repeated every 20 days (20 ml / 10 l of water). Just do not mix "Fitolavin" in the same container with drugs, containing live bacteria.

What else to do?

Try to plant tomatoes and potatoes away from flower beds.

Ornamental plants, susceptible to late blight, plant in elevated areas with a southern slope.

In the spring and autumn, disinfect the soil with the "Farmayoda" solution (100 ml / 10 l of water per 5 sq.m).

Do not overuse nitrogen supplements. When applying phosphorus-potassium fertilizers from- give preference to bone meal, zole (they also gently deoxidize the soil).

Prune regularly to improve airflow, do not thicken the planting.

Choose varieties and hybrids with relative resistance to late blight.

Don't forget about sowing green manure. Mustard and oil radish perfectly disinfect the soil.

TANK MIXTURE FROM PHYTOFLUORA

Leading agronomist of the hydrangea nursery Andrey MALYSHEV warned:

- Phytophthora is the most serious danger to hydrangeas. In the event of a disease, the plant must be destroyed. In order not to lose valuable varieties, at least once a year (in spring) do preventive treatment of bushes with "Ridomil Gold MC" (according to instructions). Ideally, three treatments are needed for diseases and pests per season.: before bud break, after flowering and in late autumn. I make a tank mixture from the above preparation, Aktary and Topaza. First, I breed them according to the instructions in separate containers., and then pour it into one barrel. I spray the entire garden with the resulting liquid.

FOLK RECIPES FROM PHYTOFLUORA FLOWERS

And here is what two summer residents advised from phytophthora, who came to the exhibition for seedlings.

A good effect is given by spraying curdled milk, diluted water (1:10) with addition 1-2 drops of "Farmayoda".

You can spray in the garden the liquid from the greens fermented in the tank of nettle or dandelion.

Pour a pound of mashed garlic with water (3 l) and insist 5 days in a dark place. Then 50-60 ml dilute in a bucket of water (10 l) and add 50 g soap.

Ksenia Yurievna confirmed: such recipes work! Their action is explained by the displacement of pathogenic fungi by beneficial microorganisms.

BTW

The famous TV presenter Marina RYKALINA was convinced by personal experience: the development of late blight and powdery mildew prevents coniferous broth. He also disorients pests, provides plants with a complex of nutrients.

Coniferous twigs (1,5 Kg) simmer 15-20 minutes. The amount of water doesn't matter, if only it completely covers the raw materials. Then he allows the broth to cool down and brings the volume to 10 l. For better adhesion, you can add 50 g soap - green, tar, economic, tobacco or mustard.
