    Late blight raged last year. Is there a defense against this scourge?

      It is noticed that an excess of nitrogen provokes the occurrence of diseases (including phytophthora), but with a sufficient amount of potassium available to plants in the soil, diseases
      develop much weaker. At home, I conduct an experiment: for the second year, starting from the end of June, I use biofungicides (they act only prophylactically, when symptoms appear, it is too late to start spraying) and I feed potatoes and tomatoes with potassium monophosphate. Result: last year, when everything turned black in the neighbors, single leaves on the potatoes suffered, and the disease was contained for a long time. The tubers were excellent, they were not sick. But a week before harvesting, I mowed and burned all the tops. Tomatoes also bore well, cut off single affected leaves, there were no signs of disease on the fruits. This year there is no late blight, the plants are healthy.

      For the chemical protection of plants from late blight and alternaria in personal subsidiary plots, the drug shows high efficiency. cymoxanil and famoxadone. It has a contact and systemic effect and fights the disease, even if the first symptoms appear. So far, there are no resistant strains to this drug, and to prevent the emergence of resistance, it is advisable to alternate it with drugs of other chemical classes.
