For a long time, gardeners have been struggling with various pests and diseases of garden and garden crops. To combat the diseases of vegetables, bushes and trees, there are many different chemicals, most of which do not "shine" with their effectiveness. But even in the USSR, to combat parasites in the garden, they used an aqueous solution of ordinary brilliant green (Chinese green, brilliant green, ethylene green, smaragda green, etc. - there are a lot of names for green). In this article we will talk about how with the help of ordinary pharmaceutical means you can protect your garden and garden from a variety of diseases.
- Handling cut points
- Berry crop processing
- Protecting vegetables from disease
- Fighting slugs
Handling cut points
Zelenka can be used in the garden for plants as an antiseptic and wound healing agent. If pruning or rejuvenation of trees occurs in spring or autumn, the wounds should be anointed with brilliant green. Otherwise, there is always a risk that parasites will lodge in the place of the cut, and in winter the tree may thoroughly freeze at the place of the cut.
Berry crop processing
A solution of brilliant green can be processed berry crops (strawberries, strawberries, etc.). Such a tool will be effective. in fighting gray rot, powdery mildew and other diseases.
In addition, brilliant green solution can be used during the strawberry ovary, when any chemical preparations are contraindicated. But it would be better if the solution of greenberries to process the berry crops during the flowering period (or immediately after its completion).
Many gardeners say that brilliant green concentrate can inhibit the growth of whiskers in strawberries and strawberries, so the plant sends all the beneficial substances to the formation of the fruit. As a result, the fruits grow more juicy, tasty and large. This property of the brilliant green solution is the basis for the development of the chemical preparation "Zar-2".
Protecting vegetables from disease
Brilliant green solution can be used in the garden for processing cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and other vegetables. So you can protect your plants from various diseases that are caused by bacteria and various small parasites.
But before processing you need to carefully follow the moisture of the soil.If it is dry, then after processing the above solution, the leaves on the vegetables may turn yellow, curl and fall off. And with increased humidity from bacteria that cause root rot, even a solution of brilliant green will not save. Therefore, soil moisture should be optimal, regular, but not very frequent watering is necessary (consider also the frequency of precipitation in your region). Cucumbers are treated with a mixture of water and brilliant green as a fight against two major diseases: powdery mildew and root rot. Also, this solution can be sprayed cucumbers as a preventive measure so that no other disease affects your garden crop.
To combat the root rot You need to go through 2 stages of the main procedure. First, cucumbers need to be watered with a concentrate of green stuff (10 drops of brilliant green per 10 liters of water) at least 2 times a week. Tillage around cucumbers should be carried out immediately after harvest. Secondly, it is necessary to spray cucumber stalks with a solution of brilliant green at least once a week - this is how you will increase the yield, and scare away pathogenic microorganisms.
One of the most dangerous diseases of cucumbers is powdery mildew.It is capable of spreading over the entire cucumber plantation in the shortest period of time, so if you notice at least one white leaf on a cucumber bush, immediate treatment is necessary. The spraying solution is made as follows: 5 ml of greens and 60 ml of urea are dissolved in 10 liters of serum. It is necessary to spray cucumbers every 4-7 days until the pathogen of powdery mildew disappears completely.
In spring, brilliant green water concentrate is used for the prevention and treatment of phytophthora of young and adult tomato plants. The solution for spraying is done as follows: in 10 liters of water, 45 drops of greens are dissolved and everything is mixed.
The first spraying should be carried out in early spring, when the tomatoes are still young and are grown in seedlings.
The second spraying is carried out immediately after transplanting plants into open ground. The third time, tomatoes are sprayed after new leaves begin to appear on them. All further treatments of plants are carried out only if the phytophthora has not been defeated (the interval between treatments is 7-9 days). To disinfect the soil, you can dissolve 60-70 ml of greens in 10 liters of water and water the soil with the mixture every 3-4 days.
In order to grow a large and tasty onion, before planting, it is necessary to disinfect the soil, otherwise there is a risk that the plant will begin to turn yellow, and the root part will regularly rot.
The mixture for disinfecting the seat can be prepared in the manner described above (for processing tomatoes).Onions need to be planted in the ground only 3-5 days after treatment. After the onion has risen, it must be sprayed with a solution of brilliant green and serum (5-7 ml of green stuff per 10 l of serum). After 7-10 days, the procedure is desirable to repeat.
For processing pumpkin crops (zucchini, pumpkins, etc.), you can use a solution of serum, urea and brilliant green. The proportions comply with the same as stated above. The treatment is carried out for the purpose of prevention and treatment of root rot 2-3 times per season with an interval of 10-14 days. Water solution directly under the root in the early morning or late evening.
Fighting slugs
To combat the slugs in the summer cottage and in the garden, you can also use an aqueous solution of brilliant green. The solution is made at the rate of 1 bottle per 10 liters of water. The resulting mixture can spray the plants and water them under the root.Procedures should be carried out 2-3 times a month until the complete disappearance of slugs. It is not recommended to water over the dried soil with an aqueous solution of brilliant green, as you can burn young plants.
In conclusion, I would like to note that pest control in the garden with green leaf is a cheap and effective method. If you take advantage of all the rules we specified, then the pests will go away immediately. In addition, remember that brilliant green is also an effective tool for smearing the wounds of freshly cut trees and shrubs.
