Instructions for use
Trichocin is widely used for soil disinfection. It can be used to protect garden beds from fungal infections. It is particularly beneficial for cucumbers and tomatoes. Garden beds can be treated at various stages of soil preparation and for growing seedlings. Experts recommend using the compound for preventative purposes. It helps suppress the development of root rot.
In addition, the substance is suitable for treating vegetables grown in greenhouses. Experienced gardeners use the composition not only to treat the soil and plants, but also the greenhouse structure itself.
When preparing the working solution, consider the recommended application rates and the type of work. Typically, the contents of the sachet should be diluted with 10 liters of water. Typically, this amount of solution requires 6 grams of the substance. This volume of solution is sufficient for 100 square meters of garden beds before planting seedlings.
The working solution can also be used to water the beds when planting young bushes. In this case, 100-150 milliliters of liquid is required per bush. For ornamental plants, 2.5-3 liters per square meter is recommended. The solution is suitable for disinfecting the soil before planting and for treating already planted crops.
Trichocin is used to moisten the soil before planting cabbage, lettuce, and beets. In this case, 40 grams of the product is required per hectare. For grapes, the product should be applied during the growing season. In this case, the dosage is increased to 80 grams.
The composition can also be used for soybeans and potatoes. It is also effective for treating carrots and rapeseed. In this case, 40 grams of the product should be used per hectare of crops. Trichocin is also often used when growing cereals. The composition is also suitable for soaking seeds before planting. To achieve the desired results, 20 grams of the product is used per ton. During the growing season, 20-40 grams of the product should be used per hectare.
Another advantage of Trichocin is its ability to combat gray mold on strawberry bushes. This is because it's the only product approved for use during harvest. To combat the disease, rotten berries and damaged foliage should be removed. The bushes should then be treated with the product. This treatment should be repeated several times, spaced weekly.
