Applications and dosage of Trichopolum for spraying and processing cucumbers
In gardening stores, it is easy to find a suitable drug to fight infection on cucumbers, but there are gardeners who prefer treatment with folk methods. Everyone knows about the benefits of treatments using boric acid, iodine, but not everyone knows how to treat cucumbers with Trichopolum. Those who lead a healthy lifestyle, do not go to the doctor, may not know what it is.
Briefly about Trichopolis
Trichopolum is an inexpensive drug sold in pharmacies. You do not need a prescription to purchase it. The medicine is released in the form of white tablets without a shell. The active ingredient is metronidazole, it contains 250 mg in one tablet.
Metronidazole has antibacterial action. It is prescribed to people for giardiasis, any form of trichomoniasis, diseases caused by anaerobic bacteria. Gardeners treat bacterial and fungal infections of cucumbers with metronidazole.
Cucumber treatment with Trichopolum
The logic of gardeners processing cucumber plantings with Trichopolum is clear. Pills treat fungal and bacterial diseases of a person, and plants.
Diseases
Gardeners note that not all cucumber diseases are treated with Trichopolum. There are many positive reviews about spraying cucumbers with Trichopolum for cladosporiosis. Otherwise, this fungal disease is called brown or olive spot.
The fungus affects the entire aerial part of the cucumber bush, and the harvest also suffers. Leaves and stems with cladosporium are covered with a large number of brown spots, on fruits the spots are transformed into sores, they are unsuitable for eating and preparing blanks.
There are successful results in the fight against powdery mildew. The bushes are treated with Trichopolum after the appearance of white spots on the stems and leaf surfaces. Several treatments save cucumbers from fungus. About treatment of fusarium on cucumbers reviews are mixed. Most gardeners note that with Fusarium, spraying cucumbers with Trichopolum did not bring positive results.
Recommendations for use
Treatment of cucumbers for brown spot and powdery mildew with Trichopolum gives a 100% positive result, but only when carrying out weekly treatments of cucumber bushes. They stop spraying cucumbers with Trichopolum only when they are convinced that the fungus is completely destroyed both in the soil and on the plants.
Before treating your cucumbers with pills, you need to think, compare the risks of using the medicine and fungicides (Strobi, Previkur, Kuproksat, Quadris). If the fear of chemistry overpowered, then buy Trichopolum or Metronidazole tablets and treat diseased bushes.When preparing a solution, dosage is important - the number of tablets for a certain volume of water. Trichopolum is used for cucumbers in the form of spraying on the leaf and applying the solution under the root when watering. The dose of the drug in each case is different:
- watering solution is prepared at the rate of 1 liter: 1 tablet, if a watering can with a volume of 10 liters - add 10 tablets, 5 liters - 5 tablets;
- for spraying, a working fluid of a higher concentration is prepared, 2 tablets are dissolved in a liter of water, if a sprayer with a volume of 10 liters - add 20 Trichopolum tablets.
The required number of tablets is first dissolved in a small volume of water and only then it is poured into a working container (bucket, watering can, sprayer). When the first symptoms of a fungal disease appear, there is no need to postpone the use of Trichopolum, the chances of curing cucumbers are higher with early treatments.
Trichopolum is not a chemistry, which many are afraid of, but a potent medicine, the use of which is undesirable during the fruiting of cucumbers. All treatment of bushes with Metronidazole should be stopped three weeks before harvest. When using an antibiotic, the same rules apply as when using fungicides.
Recipe with brilliant green
As soon as you see whitish or yellow spots on the leaves of young cucumbers, do not wait until they turn brown and the infection spreads to healthy plants. Cucumbers need urgent processing. We take 1 bottle of brilliant green, 10 tablets of Trichopolum or Metronidazole and dissolve everything in 10 liters of water. Water temperature 22-25 ° C.
Until the signs of the disease go away, treat the bushes with a solution of Trichopolum with brilliant green once a week. Spray healthy cucumbers for prevention. The solution in this case is prepared with a lower drug content:
- 10 liters of water;
- ½ bottle of brilliant green;
- 5 tablets.
Prevention of fungal diseases begins with the treatment of cucumbers with Metronidazole after the appearance of 4-5 true leaves, and ends 3 weeks before harvest. The rain that followed the spraying washes off the medicine, so the treatment is repeated. Cucumbers are best processed in dry weather in the evening after 17-00 or in the morning before 11-00.
