Phytophthora is a common fungal disease that affects many plants. Its main danger is that the disease destroys bushes and trees very quickly. Therefore, this disease must be fought using all available means. One of them is regular whey.

The use of serum allows you to very quickly cope with the disease. In order to achieve the desired result, spraying of plants must be carried out correctly, following the useful advice of experienced gardeners.

1. To protect the cultivated crop from late blight, it must be sprayed immediately after planting in the ground. This treatment also helps to strengthen the immunity of plants.
2. For processing plants, you can use not only sprayers, but also spray guns or ordinary plastic bottles. The main thing is that when spraying the leaves and stems are enveloped in a light mist from the solution. In this case, you will not be afraid to harm the plant.
3. Dilute whey only in water at room temperature. The dairy product itself is recommended to be filtered through cheesecloth before use.
4. Before watering the plant with such a solution, you need to prepare the site. The first step is to get rid of all the weeds in the garden. The soil should be slightly loosened, and then watered abundantly.
5. You need to spray not only the bushes and aisles, but also the supports to which the plants are attached.
6. Plants should be processed in the morning or evening. If you spray the bushes in the heat, you can seriously harm them.
7. On rainy days, you need to spray the plants more often. After all, the water washes the serum off the leaves and stems.
8. For the purpose of prevention, it is worth processing once a week. You need to stop the procedure 10-12 days before harvesting.

So that late blight does not interfere with harvesting, it is necessary not only to process the plants in a timely manner, but also to provide them with the right conditions for growth and development.

1. First of all, you must follow all the rules of crop rotation. Do not plant tomatoes in one place for 2 years in a row. After them, cabbage or cucumbers can be planted on the site.
2. And also you can not plant tomatoes next to eggplants or potatoes. Such a neighborhood will lead to the rapid spread of the disease.
3. After harvesting, all residues must be carefully removed and burned.
4. After that, the land must be treated with special means, or green manure plants must be planted there. These include mustard, peas, winter rye, rapeseed, radish, alfalfa and sweet clover.

The use of serum against late blight allows not only to protect plants from the appearance of this fungal disease, but also to increase their yield.
