Tomatoes are very easy to grow, but they often fall victim to disease. They are most often affected by late blight, dry leaf spot, root corky and bacterial mottling. This type of disease is best dealt with by cuprate, a fungicide that is highly recommended by gardeners. Its basic ingredient is copper oxychloride.
When do we spray tomatoes with copper? keep your distance
Copper can be used in all organic crops. Spray it as soon as you notice signs of illness. The substance gets into the spores of the fungus and prevents their further development. If you ever had a problem with fungi and bacteria, you should preventively spray crops with copper. Spraying should be done on cloudy and windless days. During the growing season, it can be done 3 times with an interval of 10 days. Start applying cuprate from the beginning of tomato flowering until half of the fruit is colored. Remember to wear protective gloves during spraying.
Spraying yeast on tomatoes. A natural anti-fungal agent
Copper is an effective but strong drug. If its use is a last resort for you, try homemade tomato spray first. Dissolve 100 g of baker’s yeast in 10 liters of lukewarm water and leave for 60 minutes. After this time, mix and pour into a spray bottle. Spray the outside of the plant and the underside of the leaves. The treatment can be performed once a week. The yeast mixture creates a natural protective barrier against fungi.
