No diseases or pests: how to disinfect the soil on your plot in autumn
Disinfection of the soil in autumn is an important operation that should never be neglected.
As a result, next year there is no need to worry about pests or diseases of agricultural crops.
Let's figure out what tools are used for this.
How to disinfect a garden
Before turning to specialized means, it is necessary to dig up all the soil. After the end of the summer season, pest larvae, as well as dormant spores of pathogenic microorganisms, remain in the soil.
It is best to dig with a pitchfork, going 15-20 centimeters deep.
It is also necessary to observe crop rotation and not plant the same crops continuously.
After digging up the garden, start disinfecting the soil. Fitosporin-M, Bordeaux mixture or iron sulfate will help with this.
The top dug-up layer of soil is treated with solutions prepared on the basis of the above-mentioned agents.
If you are treating a small area of the garden, you can use boiling water or a solution of potassium permanganate.
