Instructions for use

This medicinal substance is used by gardeners and horticulturists to treat bacterial and fungal diseases. The tablets are dissolved in water and sprayed onto crops. The solution should be prepared 20-25 minutes before use. For visible results, each plant should be treated. Gardeners must observe personal protective equipment during application.

Choosing the best remedy

The preparations have the same effect on the crop, so the type of medicinal substance is chosen by the gardener.

In what cases are drugs used?

The use of the active substance "Metronidazole" allows you to eliminate a large number of diseases of various origins on cucumbers.

Fungal diseases

Gardeners treat cucumbers with the medication for the following fungal infections:

• downy mildew;
• powdery mildew;
• sclerotinia.

Crops grown in greenhouses are often susceptible to fungal diseases. This is primarily due to moisture accumulation and poor ventilation. Using Trichopolum against fungal infections allows for rapid control and visible results within a short time.

Bacterial diseases

Bacterial diseases affecting cucumbers are difficult to treat with any method. Trichopolum is used to treat the following types of cucumber diseases:

• root rot;
• wet rot;
• bacteriosis;
• spotting.

The use of Metronidazole reduces the likelihood of further disease development on healthy plants. Damaged cucumber bushes must be removed, since the bacterial type of disease is most often untreatable and leads to the death of the crop.

How to dilute the medicine: dosage

To treat cucumbers, use Trichopolum according to the following instructions:

• the medicinal substance in the amount of 10 tablets is crushed to a powder state;
• the powder dissolves in a liter of warm water;
• the resulting solution is mixed with 6 liters of water;
• the affected plant is sprayed in the morning or after sunset;
• The bushes are treated three times a month.

The dosage of the substance may depend on the number of bushes being treated.

Recipes for preparing a working solution

To achieve visible results, it is necessary to prepare a working solution. Various methods can be used to apply the medicinal substance to cucumber beds.

Classical

To prepare, dissolve two tablets in a liter of water. Let the mixture steep until completely dissolved, then pour it into a special spray container. Rinse the container with boiled water first.

With brilliant green

To prepare the solution you need:

• Crush 10 Trichopolum tablets into powder;
• dissolve in a liter of warm water;
• Mix with 9 liters of water and add 10 ml of brilliant green.

Leave the solution for 10-15 minutes until the medications are completely dissolved. Spray each bush weekly until the problem disappears.

Important: The prepared solution cannot be stored, as this will reduce its beneficial properties. Therefore, the solution should be prepared immediately before use.

With iodine

To prepare such a solution you need:

• tablets (15 pieces) are crushed to a powder state and dissolved in 500 ml of water;
• mix the tablet solution with 10 liters of warm water;
• Add a bottle of iodine (10 ml) and stir.

This solution is used to treat late blight and other types of diseases.

How to use it correctly for cucumber beds

The medicinal substance can be used in several ways: watering and spraying the bushes.

Spraying

For spraying, use a standard solution, which is distributed over the surface of the leaves and stems using a spray bottle. Particular attention should be paid to the undersides of the leaves. The dosage of the medicinal substance should be one tablet per liter. Treatment should be carried out in the morning or after sunset, otherwise the cucumber leaves may burn.

Watering

Using a medicinal watering solution reduces root diseases and disinfects the soil. A smaller amount of the medicinal solution is required for watering (5 tablets per 10 liters of water). Before applying the medicinal solution, loosen the bed and water it with clean water. Brilliant green, which has an antibacterial effect, can be added to the watering solution. Watering with the solution can be done every 10 days.

Security measures

When using a medicinal product to treat cucumber diseases, it is necessary to observe safety measures, which include:

• use protective clothing and a face mask when spraying;
• If the solution gets on exposed areas of skin, rinse with plenty of water;
• do not consume vegetables after processing;
• Before starting processing, collect ripe vegetables;
• Do not allow pets to come into contact with treated bushes.

Treatment of crops is carried out no more than once a week, otherwise the solution may damage the surface of the leaves.

Can it be replaced with more gentle products?

If necessary, non-drug methods can be used.

Milk with iodine	Mix 2 liters of milk with 10 liters of water and 10 drops of iodine	Spray the above-ground part of cucumbers once every 2 weeks
Yeast infusion	Dissolve 100 grams of dry yeast in 10 liters of water. Let it sit for 2 hours.	Spray the above-ground part of the crop once a week
Ash infusion	Dissolve 1 kg of wood ash in 10 liters of warm water. Let it steep for 4 hours.	Spray the cucumber bushes and the soil around them
Cow dung infusion	Dilute mullein in 10 liters of water	Spray damaged bushes; the solution can also be used to treat root diseases. To do this, water the soil between the beds.

In some cases, Trichopolum cannot be used, especially during the ripening period. Therefore, other disease control methods may be used.
