    For the prevention of late blight, I spray my tomatoes every two weeks with a yeast solution. Yeast is the same fungus, only healthy. By introducing them onto tomato leaves, we no longer leave room for harmful late blight fungi — useful fungi will not allow them to multiply.
    After spraying, improvement is evident. Am I doing the right thing? Does yeast beat phytophoresis?

      Late blight develops inside the plant, where yeast fungi never penetrate, so do not talk about preventing this disease in a similar way. In addition, yeast develops in a humid environment and where there is sugar.

      For example, on the surface of a plant that is infected with whiteflies, aphids, and cicadas, they produce sweet, sticky secretions on the leaves. So-called honey dew appears. Yeast “eats this sugar, honey dew leaves, and the plant actually gets better. But in the absence of sugar and moisture, the yeast itself will die.
      The positive effect of the yeast solution, of course, is. Spraying itself is a good washing of plants that improves their condition. This pattern can be observed even when spraying ordinary water. But this is a visible effect. After 2-3 days, the spread of the disease will continue.
