Benefits of using Fitosporin in a greenhouse in spring
Gardeners often use Fitosporin to process polycarbonate greenhouses in spring. Since the drug is universal, it protects plants from diseases and pests. It also improves soil structure and plays the role of organic fertilizer.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Phytosporin is a proven remedy for combating larvae and pathogens that hibernate in the ground. Disinfecting the soil in the greenhouse will help avoid serious problems and grow a healthy and generous crop.
Phytosporin is an aggressive biological preparation that contains Bacillus subtilis bacteria. When they hit the ground, they begin to multiply rapidly, clearing the soil of larvae, microbes and spores. Beneficial microorganisms and soil structure do not suffer from this bacterium.
Biological fungicide performs a large number of positive functions:
- growth-regulating property;
- environmental friendliness, the drug is not harmful to the human body;
- ease of breeding;
- high efficiency against pathogenic microorganisms;
- increases productivity up to 25%;
- enriches the soil with useful trace elements;
- compatibility with other fungicides;
- affordable price.
Despite the positive qualities, Fitosporin also has disadvantages:
- in order to protect plants from pests and pathogens, the first watering is carried out in the spring, subsequent ones every month;
- if the plants were attacked by a disease, then it is pointless to use Fitosporin;
- powder solution should be used immediately after preparation;
- the bacterium dies in direct sunlight.
When it is possible to cultivate the land in the greenhouse with Fitosporin in the spring
Spring disinfection is carried out with the onset of warm days. Time depends on weather conditions and region of residence. As a rule, soil disinfection is carried out immediately after the snow melts, when the ground thaws a little.
In the central strip of Our Country, they begin to prepare greenhouses for the summer season in early April. In the south – in early March. In regions with a cold climate and late spring, preparatory work is carried out on May holidays.
How to dilute Fitosporin for greenhouse treatment
Phytosporin for disinfection of greenhouses is available in powder, paste and liquid form. To prepare a medicinal solution, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions for dilution and use.
Breeding Fitosporin to prepare the greenhouse for the summer season:
- Pasty Fitosporin is diluted with warm water in a ratio of 1: 2 and thoroughly stirred until the lumps disappear. If the entire working solution has not been used up, it can be stored at a temperature of + 15 ° C in a place where direct sunlight does not fall.
- Powder Fitosporin is diluted in this way: 5 g of powder is added to a bucket of warm water. The prepared solution is used to wash the frame of the greenhouse and spill the soil for planting. The prepared solution is used immediately, as the awakened bacteria quickly die.
- Liquid form used to wash the walls and roof of the greenhouse. To prepare a working solution, dilute 1 drops of an aqueous suspension in 50 liter of warm water. The finished solution is not subject to storage, so it is prepared immediately before use.
How to treat a greenhouse with Fitosporin in spring
Disinfection of the greenhouse with Fitosporin is carried out in spring and autumn. To do this, the prepared concentrate is diluted with warm, non-chlorinated water, grated laundry soap or any other washing solution (shampoo, liquid soap, dishwashing detergent) is added. According to gardeners, it is effective to use shampoo for pets. To wash greenhouses, you can use a brush on the handle; a watering can will not work in this case.
The brush is abundantly moistened with a ready-made solution and the walls, roof, and slats are thoroughly washed. You can also disinfect the frames for the beds, trying to fill the solution into cracks and cracks. After disinfection, the greenhouse is not washed with water, since the greenhouse is cleaned independently due to condensate.
After washing the walls and roof, you can proceed to the soil. To do this, use the working solution of Fitosporin, prepared from powder or paste.

How to cultivate the soil in a greenhouse with Fitosporin in the spring
Phytosporin will help destroy pathogenic microbes and pest larvae that can winter in the soil. Fitosporin is also often used to prevent fungal diseases, to improve soil structure and as an additional organic top dressing. Soil treatment technology:
- Fitosporin is bred strictly according to the instructions.
- Before watering, the concentrate is diluted with warm water at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. in a bucket of warm water.
- This volume is enough to process 2 m² of soil.
- The spilled soil is sprinkled with dry earth and covered with a film or agrofibre.
- After 7 days, the shelter is removed and the soil is allowed to dry.
- After a day, you can start landing.
Safety measures
Phytosporin is a biological drug that destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, as well as pest larvae, but the drug is not terrible for beneficial microorganisms. It copes well with causative agents of fusarium, phytosporosis, powdery mildew, black rot and anthracnose. For this reason, Fitosporin has found wide application among gardeners.
When using Fitosporin, you must follow simple rules:
- Breed strictly according to the instructions.
- The temperature of air and water when diluting the preparation should not exceed + 35 °C. Because bacteria will die at higher temperatures.
- To awaken microorganisms, a concentrated solution is prepared 2 hours before use.
- Fitosporin cannot be used if the air temperature is below + 15 ° C, since at low temperatures the bacteria hibernate.
- Do not dilute the drug in cold and chlorinated water.
- The dilution container must be clean and not previously used for dilution of chemicals.
When working with Fitosporin, precautions must be taken, despite the fact that the drug is not toxic to humans. If it gets on the mucous membrane, Fitosporin can cause slight redness, burning and itching. Therefore, the following must be adhered to:
- work in rubber gloves;
- during the processing of the greenhouse it is better to work in a respirator;
- during processing, you can not eat and smoke;
- in case of contact with Fitosporin on the skin or mucous membranes, it is necessary to immediately wash the affected areas with warm water;
- in case of ingestion, rinse the stomach and drink activated charcoal;
- Fitosporin should not be diluted in dishes that are intended for cooking;
- After finishing work, wash hands and face thoroughly with warm water and soap.
Phytosporin in undiluted form is stored at a temperature of – 30 ° C to + 40 ° C. Powder and paste are best kept in a dry place, protected from babies and pets. The liquid suspension is stored at room temperature in a dark place. Near Phytosporin you can not keep medicines, animal feed, food.
Conclusion
Processing the greenhouse in the spring with Fitosporin will help the gardener cope with many diseases, get rid of insect larvae that live in the soil, and make it possible to grow a generous, healthy crop. It is important to properly dilute the drug, till the soil and the frame of the greenhouse, and then pathogens and larvae will not have a chance to attack the seedlings grown.
