    The first signs of tomato late blight are brown spots on the leaves above and a whitish coating on the underside. Then the fruits begin to deteriorate, and the fungus can spread to other beds, for example, to planting potatoes. So the harvest size of not only tomatoes depends on the success of the fight against late blight.
    Many summer residents spray plants from this fungus with fungicides (Bordeaux liquid, etc.). But I'm cautious about chemistry and prefer fighting with agrotechnical methods:
    • do not thicken the planting,
    • regularly destroy weeds,
    • Cut off the lower leaves, concerning the soil,
    • mulch beds with humus,
    • hold a drink in the groove along the landings, so that water does not fall on the plants.
    In addition, I use for the treatment of tomatoes compositions from natural means.
    I pour a liter can of pine or spruce needles into a metal bucket with cold water. Boiling - 5 min. I chill and add a shovel of fresh cow dung.
    30 garlic shooter (or 1 glass denticles), 2 liter cans of finely chopped nettle and
    2 st. l. soapy chips are poured into an 10-liter bucket of hot water. I insist 3 days.
    In 8 l l warm water I dilute 2 l of whey, 1 a glass of sugar and a bubble of iodine (10ml).
    I spray the tomatoes with a broom. I perform the procedure in the morning or in the evening 2 times a month, and during rains - up to 2 times a week.
