With all fungal infections, prevention is better than cure. So it's easier to try and keep your plants healthy and not to let them get a fungal infection in the first place.
- Maintain good air circulation around plants with good pruning and by not planting too densely.
- Ensure the optimum growing conditions for your plants by choosing the right plant in the right place.
- Certain plants will benefit from a soil drench of solution of Copper Sulphate with water.
I like to treat my roses and fruit trees with a solution of Copper Sulphate and water every year in spring/early summer to protect against:
- Rose Blackspot
- Powdery Mildew
- Grey Mould
- Fungal Rust
- Apple Scab
Any plant which had a fungal infection last year will get a drench of Copper Sulphate and water this spring.
Use Copper Sulphate for Potato Blight and in the fruit and vegetable garden and allotment too as it is the best product to help prevent potato blight and other fungal problems.
Can be used for a huge range of fungal problems on all edible plants.
Copper Sulphate should not be used more than once in one year in your garden.
