How to pour over currant bushes and fruit trees from pests and diseases in March (except for boiling water)
Many (diligent) gardeners carefully monitor their garden, spray it with various agents, including copper sulfate with a mixture of urea, against insect pests and diseases. Someone uses hot boiling water to spill currant branches, which relieves the bushes of many pests and their larvae.
I also spill currants with hot water around +80 degrees, and this method helps a lot. But, besides watering with boiling water, there are other effective, economical methods.
I found one of them on the Internet from the famous blogger Ivan Russkikh from the Republic of Belarus. The miracle solution contains sodium hypochlorite (bleach), potassium monophosphate (phosphorus-potassium fertilizer) as an activator.
You will need 1L of chlorine bleach and pour it into a bucket of water. Then add 100 grams of potassium monophosphate to the solution (it dissolves well in water).
Stir everything well, pour it into the sprayer. With this mixture, it is necessary to process bushes of currants, strawberries, roses (after removing the shelter), fruit trees for an hour in the morning or evening.
Also, this solution can be used to treat the inner walls of the greenhouse for disinfection, but after that it is necessary to rinse the greenhouse with clean water.
This mixture is used on plants at wide temperature ranges: from plus 5 to plus 25 degrees. You can work with this solution on a leaf, green buds. Thanks to potassium monophosphate, plants will also be fed with useful microelements.
In this case, the chlorine contained in the bleach will not be released in its pure form and will not combine with organic matter. In this solution, as a result of the interaction between substances, oxygen and table salt are formed (in small micro doses).
The resulting solution will be safe for the environment and very effective against diseases and pests (spider mites, various insect larvae, scale insects).
