Phytosporin treatment tomato 

The irregular use of chemical fertilizers and the same plant protection products depletes the soil. Sometimes it becomes simply unsuitable for growing crops, since the crop grown on it is dangerous to eat. Therefore, the number of supporters of organic farming, which excludes the use of any “chemistry” is growing every year. But tomatoes get sick in all gardeners. We have to process them in order not only to cure, but also to prevent diseases with late blight, Alternaria and black spot. If you don’t want to use “chemistry”, then treating tomatoes with phytosporin is the best option. It is suitable not only for supporters of live farming, but also for all gardeners who want to grow a high yield of healthy tomatoes.

Composition and benefits for plants

Phytosporin is a microbiological preparation. It is a bacterial fungicide and a biological pesticide. It contains Bacillus subtilis or hay bacillus, a gram-positive, aerobic, spore-forming bacterium, both the culture itself and its spores.

Phytosporin multifunctional preparation:

• It is a systemic microbiological fungicide. It penetrates into the tissues of tomatoes and, spreading through the vascular system of plants, inhibits the growth and development of pathogens of many diseases of tomatoes, including early blight, late blight, and black rot. It creates a protective film on all parts of the tomatoes, which prevents the penetration of pathogenic flora through it.
• The use of phytosporin makes it possible to suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms on the soil surface, therefore, it can disinfect it.
• The immunoactive factors produced by the hay bacillus are immunostimulants for plants and increase their immunity in general and resistance to late blight, Alternaria and black rot in particular.
• Thanks to the immunoactive factors and certain amino acids produced by hay bacillus, damaged tomato tissues are restored, their growth and fruit quality are enhanced.

Fitosporin has a number of features useful for gardeners:

• a wide temperature range in which bacteria exist – from minus 50 to plus 40 degrees, when frozen, they turn into a spore state, when normal conditions for existence occur, the bacteria resume their vital activity;
• the effectiveness of phytosporin can reach 95 percent;
• the possibility of processing tomatoes in any period of growth. Tomatoes treated with phytosporin do not have a waiting period. Vegetables can be eaten even on the day of processing, you just need to wash them well.
• The drug has a fourth degree of danger and is of low toxicity. The safety of hay bacteria for humans has been proven. Some of its varieties are used as a medicine.
• Phytosporin is highly compatible with a number of chemical pesticides, fertilizers and growth regulators.
• Possibility of long-term storage of the working solution.

Not only fights diseases of tomatoes, but also stimulates the formation of immunity, enhances growth, fights stress in plants;
• Fitosporin-M tomatoes – enhanced by the addition of trace elements, the composition and amount of which is best suited for tomatoes.

Features of processing tomatoes

In order for the maximum benefit for tomatoes during phytosporin treatment, it is necessary to dilute the drug correctly and observe a number of conditions.

• Do not use metal utensils and utensils that previously contained any chemicals.
• Use clean, non-hard and non-chlorinated water.
• The water temperature is not higher than 35 degrees, since already at 40 degrees the bacteria die.
• Spraying should not be carried out in cold weather, bacteria are inactive during such a period and the benefits of such treatment are small. It is necessary to process plants in calm and necessarily cloudy weather, since bright sunlight is detrimental to bacteria.
• The prepared solution must stand for at least two hours before processing, so that the hay bacterium is activated. Do not keep the prepared solution in the sun.
• You need to process the entire plant, including the lower surface of the leaves.

Consumption rates and frequency of processing

The powder is diluted with warm water in the following proportions:

• for soaking the seeds – half a teaspoon per 100 milliliters of water, the seeds are kept for 2 hours;
• for pre-plant soaking of the roots – 10 grams per 5 liters of water, holding time up to 2 hours, it is possible to water the planted seedlings with a prepared solution, which will simultaneously disinfect the soil;

  

• for preventive spraying – 5 grams of powder per 10 liters of water, frequency – every ten days, when the protective film is washed off with water due to rain, the treatment should be repeated.

Paste based on phytosporin.

• The concentrate is prepared in proportion: one part of the paste – two parts of water. For further use, the concentrate is diluted in water.
• For seed treatment – 2 drops of concentrate per 100 milliliters of water.
• For root treatment – 15 drops of concentrate per 5 liters of water.
• For spraying tomatoes – 3 teaspoons per ten-liter bucket. The frequency of processing is once every ten to fourteen days.

There is no rain in the greenhouse, so the protective film on the tomatoes lasts longer. Therefore, the processing of greenhouse tomatoes with phytosporin has its own characteristics, which the video tells about:

Conclusion

The use of phytosporin will not only protect tomatoes from major diseases, but also make the plants stronger, and the fruits tastier and healthier.
