Spraying

Spraying is a key technological practice in plant protection, ensuring the targeted delivery of agents for controlling pathogens and pests, as well as regulating growth processes. For professional agronomists and practicing gardeners, effective treatment requires a deep understanding of the mechanisms of action of chemical and biological agents, adherence to fungicide application regulations, and consideration of the physiological characteristics of the crops. A competent approach to choosing the composition of the solution and the timing of operations directly affects the phytosanitary condition of plantings and yield performance.

This selection gathers materials covering a wide range of topics: from the theoretical foundations of using phytohormones to specific protocols for combating root and stem rots, powdery mildew, and viral infections. Readers will find detailed regulations for using popular fungicides, recommendations for integrating biological protection methods into the care system for vegetable and flower crops, as well as expert information on the use of desiccation to accelerate harvest ripening. The articles contain information on application rates of preparations, methods for diagnosing diseases, and the practice of using antagonists for environmentally safe plant protection.

Plant protection For agronomists

Biological plant protection of vegetable crops against diseases and nematodes

Agronomists use biological pest and disease control methods in greenhouses, including the application of trichothecin against powdery mildew of cucumbers and avermectin complex against root-knot nematodes on tomatoes. The article contains regulations for the application of preparations and a comparative analysis of their application methods
