Every summer resident is from time to time faced with various diseases of vegetable and fruit crops. But not everyone knows what ailments one or another culture is most often affected by. And it should be noted that they have a lot of diseases. What are our favorite vegetables, fruits and berries sick with, and how can these unfortunate ailments be overcome?
Vegetable crops
Diseases of vegetable crops - a very unpleasant thing, because because of them, the volumes of expected yields can significantly decrease. Tomatoes are often affected by apical rot, brown spot or late blight, and zucchini, cucumbers and pumpkin are often attacked by powdery mildew, macrosporia, ascochitosis and anthracnose. Potatoes suffer the most from ring rot or scab, and radish with cabbage - from vascular bacteriosis, keel and black leg.
Macrosporiosis, ascochitosis and anthracnose can be fought with Bordeaux liquid, and "Caratan" or colloidal sulfur will help to save yourself from powdery mildew. With a black leg, young crops are treated with formalin, and with a keel, you still have to part with diseased plants and treat the thoroughly dug soil with the "Shining-1" preparation. And to combat vascular bacteriosis, a weak solution of potassium permanganate or one percent Bordeaux liquid is used, followed by dusting with ash. Alternation of crops will help to get rid of top rot, 1% Bordeaux liquid or copper oxychloride solution will help to get rid of brown spot, and “Captan” preparation or the same copper oxychloride solution will help to get rid of late blight. In order to avoid ring rot, the area should be cleaned from infected plants in a timely manner and the planting material should be carefully selected, and the best prevention of scab will be the introduction
organic fertilizers, light germination of tubers and planting potatoes in well-heated soil.
Fruit and berry crops
At least as often as vegetable get sick and
fruit and berry crops … They can be affected by scab, coccomycosis, powdery mildew, gray or fruit rot, as well as root or bacterial cancer.
For the prevention of coccomycosis, trees with bushes are recommended to be treated with a solution of copper oxychloride or one percent Bordeaux liquid. Typically, such treatments are carried out at the initial stage of bud break. In addition, Bordeaux liquid will be an excellent prophylactic agent against rot. To combat powdery mildew, you can resort to using a five percent bayleton solution or a solution of colloidal sulfur, and in case of root bacterial cancer damage to trees, all sections formed after the removal of outgrowths are treated with a one percent solution of copper sulfate. To combat scab, flowering trees are treated with a solution of copper oxychloride or a 2% Bordeaux liquid, and if black cancer is found, the sections after the trees are freed from growths are treated with a solution of copper sulfate and lubricated with high-quality nigril putty.
Remember that timely detected diseases are the key to a successful disposal of them!
