To get a good tomato harvest, you need to put in a lot of effort. It is especially important to ensure reliable protection of seedlings and adult plants from damage by fungi or bacteria. Experienced gardeners use Trichopolum for tomato seedlings; the drug belongs to the group of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The principle of action of Trichopolum
This drug can be purchased at any pharmacy without a prescription. It is available in tablets of 250 or 500 mg.
The excellent results of using the drug are due to its composition. The active ingredient in Trichopolum is the antibiotic Metronidazole, which was synthesized artificially. It has antimicrobial and antiprotozoal properties. In addition, the drug contains substances such as potato starch, gelatin, starch syrup and magnesium stearate.
Trichopolum
Trichopolum suppresses the activity of pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms. This is possible due to the active interaction of Metronidazole and cell DNA. As a result, the process of protein and nucleic acid formation stops.
Trichopolum for tomatoes is used as a preventive measure or to combat fungal and bacterial plant diseases. The use of the drug in the fight against the following diseases has shown excellent results:
- Late blight. This is the most widespread and dangerous disease for plants. It appears as gray or brown spots, which can affect both above-ground and underground parts of the plant. Spreads by zoospores. Trichopolum against late blight on tomatoes showed excellent results.
- Powdery mildew. This fungal disease has the ability to spread very quickly. It is transmitted through the use of contaminated water during irrigation, working tools or through the air. Plants affected by the disease quickly begin to wither, their leaves fall off, and a dense coating forms on the green part of the plant white, which significantly complicates the process of photosynthesis.
- Fusarium. The disease is caused by pathogenic fungi that penetrate the plant through the soil or roots. In diseased plants, the leaves and roots rot, the stems become very thin, and after a while the plant dies.
- Angular spotting. The disease is caused by bacteria. It affects all parts of the plant, which dry out after a short time.
- Blackleg. It develops when the soil is watered too much and the plants receive insufficient sunlight. The disease can affect plants grown both in greenhouses and in open ground.
Tomato diseases
Metronidazole for tomatoes has a number of advantages. Among the most significant are the following:
- high level of efficiency;
- affordable price;
- ease of preparation of the solution;
- safety for humans.
Metronidazole for tomatoes helps not only fight various kinds plant diseases, but also to prevent diseases.
How to treat tomatoes with Trichopolum
To get results, you need to know how to dilute Trichopolum for spraying tomatoes.
Rules for using Metronidazole for tomatoes and cucumbers:
- Plants should be sprayed before lunch in dry and windy weather.
- The solution is prepared immediately before processing. The solution remaining after spraying cannot be reused.
- During treatment, each plant must be sprayed completely. Need to pay Special attention on the stem and leaves, which are located at the bottom of the plant.
- If it rains within 2 - 3 hours after application, the treatment must be carried out again after the plant and soil have dried.
- To disinfect the root system, gardeners recommend watering each plant separately, adding 55 ml of the prepared solution.
- The first treatment should be carried out after the seedlings are planted in open soil.
Important! During the season, treatment of tomatoes with Trichopolum against late blight or other diseases should be carried out at least 3 - 4 times.
- all seed material is processed before sowing;
- simultaneously with picking tomato seedlings;
- immediately after planting the seedlings in open ground or to the greenhouse.
If the number of waterings is increased, it is possible that irreparable harm will be caused to adult plants or seedlings. The harvest will be lost.
Rules for using Metronidazole
Options for preparing the solution:
- Classical. Completely dissolve 20 Trichopolum tablets in 10 liters of lukewarm water. First, the tablets dissolve in a small amount of liquid, and only then can you add all the remaining water. The solution can be used only after 20 - 30 minutes.
- With greenery. Adding brilliant green to the Trichopolum solution helps to enhance the effectiveness of the drug. At the same time, 10 tablets of Trichopolum are diluted in 10 liters of warm water, as well as 1 bottle (10 ml) of brilliant green. When spraying a plant with such a mixture, care should be taken to ensure that the liquid does not fall on the leaves. To provide maximum effect effect of the drug, the air temperature should not be lower than 25 degrees. If it is not possible to provide such conditions naturally, after treatment the bed with plants will have to be covered with a layer of transparent cellophane.
Important! In order for the tablets to completely dissolve, they must first be crushed into powder.
- With iodine. Solutions prepared according to this principle are mainly used in for preventive purposes. This should be done when the plants are at the development stage. To prepare the working solution, you will need to dissolve 15 Trichopolum tablets in 10 liters of warm water and add 1 bottle (10 ml) of iodine to the liquid. Preventive treatment of seedlings or adult plants will reduce the risk of their disease several times.
Zelenka and iodine have antiseptic properties and enhance the effect of the antibiotic.
Important! If you plan to treat large areas, it is better to do this by using a sprayer. To work in small areas, it is recommended to use sprayers. This will help you save not only ready solution, but also operating time.
Alternative means for processing tomato seedlings
No less good results can be achieved by treating tomato seedlings and other fungicides. Among the most commonly used by gardeners are the following:
- Oksikhom. Available in tablet form. To prepare the solution, add 1 tablet to 5 liters of water. In addition to treating the plant itself, it is also recommended to spray the soil underneath it.
- Fitosporin M. drug is used as a prophylaxis for late blight disease. Dissolve 3 grams in 1 liter of water. drug. It is recommended to treat seedlings with this solution every week.
- Quadris. A new drug that has a wide spectrum of action and belongs to strobilurins. It is used to combat a large list of diseases, including powdery mildew, late blight, downy mildew and spotting. When it comes into contact with a plant, the drug begins to act instantly.
- Acrobat. This tool was developed quite recently. As a result, fungi and bacteria have not yet developed an addiction to it.
- Ridomil. Mainly used to combat late blight and alternaria. The drug is available in the form of granules, which greatly facilitates the process of its use. Ridomil does not react with virtually any pesticide.
- Agate. A drug of biological origin. Used for pre-treatment of seeds before sowing. Its use not only promotes rapid seed germination, but also reduces the risk of disease in seedlings and adult plants by 50 - 60%.
- Maksim. Mainly used for seed treatment, which prevents the development of rot in young seedlings.
- Fundazol. Presented in the form of a white powder that has a little bad smell. This is what repels insects from young seedlings.
- Bordeaux mixture. Used to combat fungal diseases.
Alternative means for processing tomato seedlings
These are just some of the drugs that are used to combat or prevent various types of tomato diseases. Experienced gardeners do not advise focusing on any one remedy. This can cause bacterial or fungal diseases to become addicted to it. It is necessary to spray the plants with several preparations, alternating them.
Except chemicals gardeners also use solutions prepared according to folk recipes. According to reviews, their effectiveness is no less than that of ready-made fungicides.
Among the most famous and effective I would like to name the following:
- garlic solution (crush 1.5 tablespoons of garlic and pour 10 liters of warm water over them. Leave to infuse in this form for 24 hours. After the specified time, strain the solution and then add 2 grams of potassium permanganate. The first time this solution is used during formation of the ovary. Subsequently, it can be sprayed on the plants once a week);
- milk whey (this product is environmentally friendly, which allows it to be used daily);
- baker's yeast (dissolve 100 grams of yeast in 10 liters of water. This solution is recommended for spraying when the first signs of disease are detected);
- table salt (the product is used to process green tomato fruits. To prepare it, you need to dissolve 250 grams of salt in 10 liters of water);
- milk with iodine (16 drops of iodine must be dissolved in 1 liter of low-fat milk. In addition to the fact that this solution will help prevent the development of a large list of diseases, it helps accelerate the ripening period of fruits);
- tinder fungus (100 grams of fresh mushroom is steamed in 1 liter of warm water. This solution can be used after 12 hours. With its help you can fight the development of late blight on tomatoes);
- propolis (100 grams of propolis, which can be purchased at a pharmacy, dissolved in 1 liter of water and left for 24 hours);
- rotted straw (soak 1 kg of straw in 10 liters of warm water and add 200 grams of urea there. The mixture should sit for 4 - 5 days. After this, drain the liquid, which is used for spraying tomatoes. The treatment can be repeated every 15 days).
Folk remedies
It is impossible to say which remedy is better. Each gardener chooses the one that, in his opinion, is most effective. The main thing is not to stop your choice on one drug. Experienced gardeners recommend starting processing from the seed preparation stage. Their germination depends on this. Right choice means for treating tomato seedlings has a direct effect on yield.
Knowing how to grow Trichopolum for tomatoes, you can protect your plants from many dangerous diseases.
Iodine in the garden
An ordinary bottle of iodine can provide a gardener with more than one great service. Since we all know from childhood that iodine is an excellent antiseptic, it would be a sin not to use this property in the prevention of plant diseases, especially all kinds of rot. It is recommended to spray strawberries and wild strawberries with a solution of 5-10 drops of iodine in ten liters of water before flowering. This simple procedure will rid it of gray rot and activate vitality. Spraying is carried out 2-3 times with an interval of ten days. Tomato seedlings are watered once with a solution of one drop of iodine per three liters of water to increase productivity and future fruit size. After planting the seedlings in the ground, you can fertilize with iodine again by adding three drops of iodine to a bucket of water. Watering rate: liter per bush. If you mix 40 drops of iodine with a liter of whey and a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide in 10 liters of water, you will get an excellent remedy for combating the hated late blight. By adding a liter of low-fat milk and 10-12 drops of iodine to 9 liters of water, you get a solution that destroys downy mildew on cucumbers. In addition, iodine is included in the ingredients that prevent yellowing of cucumber leaves and promote rejuvenation of vines.
Zelenka in the garden
Brilliant green solution is no less famous than iodine; it can also be used in dacha farming, no doubt. Green paint can be used to lubricate wounds of plants during minor pruning or accidental damage instead of garden varnish. 40 drops of brilliant green dissolved in a bucket of water will help rid tomatoes from late blight, and cucumbers from powdery mildew. In order not to measure out a drop each time, you can dilute a bottle of brilliant green in a liter of water, and then add a little bit by eye to the water for spraying. Spraying cherries with a weak solution of brilliant green promotes better fruit set.
Trichopolum in the garden
"Trichopol" is used as a prophylactic against late blight. For this purpose, 1 tablet of Trichopolum is dissolved in 1 liter of water and sprayed on the tomatoes every two weeks.
Aspirin in the garden
Aspirin is part of one of the means to combat powdery mildew of gooseberries and currants.
Potassium permanganate in the garden
Potassium permanganate is well known to any gardener and is used everywhere. First of all, it is recommended to treat the seeds in a pink solution of potassium permanganate (0.5 grams per 100 ml) before planting in order to destroy possible pathogens that overwinter on the seeds. For this purpose, the seeds are soaked in the solution for 20 minutes and then dried. If you add potassium permanganate (3 grams per 10 liters) to a bucket of pink solution boric acid on the tip of a knife, it will be a good early spring fertilizer for strawberries, raspberries, currants and gooseberries. This feeding option is especially good in areas with sandy soils. 2 teaspoons of potassium permanganate, dissolved in 10 liters of water, will save strawberries from gray rot, if you don’t forget to spray the berries after flowering. Potatoes are soaked in a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate before planting, as well as seed tubers before storing. Neither wireworms nor pathogenic fungi like this treatment. In addition, potassium permanganate dissolved in water is used to spill soil for seedlings, wash boxes, cups and pots in which they plan to grow seedlings or force greens, and treat the inside and outside of greenhouses and hotbeds to prevent plant diseases. The only thing you should not forget when using potassium permanganate is that everything is good in moderation. You shouldn’t get too carried away with watering with “rose water”. Excess manganese in the soil can adversely affect crop development.
Glucose and vitamin B1 in the garden
These vitamins are used to feed flowers. The plants are fed five times with an interval of two weeks with the following solution: 5 ml. glucose and 1 ml. vitamin B1 per 5 liters of water. Abundant and long-lasting flowering is guaranteed!
Boric acid in the garden
Boric acid is the best helper for poor fruit set. A solution of boric acid (dilute 2 grams in half a liter of water, and then bring the water to 10 liters) can be sprayed on all plants to stimulate the ovary. As we wrote earlier, some gardeners add boric acid to a bucket of water with a pink solution of potassium permanganate at the tip of a knife, mix everything thoroughly and use it to feed strawberries and raspberries. in early spring. Such fertilizing not only helps to increase yield, it also improves the taste of the berries. In addition to the above, boric acid is used as a component of a complex nutrient solution for soaking seeds before planting. Two handfuls onion peel pour a liter of boiling water and mix it with pre-prepared ash solution in a 1:1 ratio. To 1 liter of such a solution add 1 gram of manganese, 0.1-0.3 grams of boric acid and 5 grams of baking soda.
Hydrogen peroxide in the garden
Hydrogen peroxide can successfully replace traditional potassium permanganate at the stage of seed treatment. To disinfect seeds, they are soaked in a 10% peroxide solution for 20 minutes, and then washed with water and dried. If you are sure that there are no pathogenic organisms on your seeds, then you can use hydrogen peroxide as a growth stimulant. In this case, the seeds must be soaked for 12 hours (and difficult-to-germinate seeds like parsley, carrots or beets - 24 hours) in a 0.4% peroxide solution. Then rinse and dry in the same way until free-flowing. This treatment promotes rapid germination, increased yield and increased plant immunity. Peroxide can also help in the fight against late blight. A tablespoon of peroxide in a bucket of water with the addition of forty drops of iodine (or without it) is a ready-made solution for preventive spraying of tomatoes.

I have been fighting wireworms for several years now. Chalk, lime, and flour do not work against wireworms, they simply deoxidize the soil, and this is not enough to kill wireworms.

The beginning of spring is not clear in time, so you need to pay more attention to the clues of nature. The “red day” of the gardener’s calendar is when the coltsfoot blooms. On average it is April 7th. From this day, our ancestors counted the dates of spring work. The start of plowing (preparing beds for sowing) was timed to coincide with the 14th day. On the 11th day of flowering, the hives were set up and planted fruit trees, cleared strawberries from dry leaves, loosened the ground. On the 23rd day they sown early vegetables- onions, beets, turnips, parsley, dill, carrots, peas, radishes, radishes. 30 days after the coltsfoot, the birch and poplar trees bloom. This is the signal to land early potatoes. IF THE MOTHER STEPMOTHER BLOOMED in early April, or even earlier, it is better to postpone planting potatoes until the bird cherry blossoms. Cherry, pear, and plum bloom on the 29th day, and the apple tree on the 32nd after coltsfoot.

Comments
Among all the variety of means to combat late blight on the site, special attention should be paid to this particular drug. "Trichopol" is effective and at the same time relatively safe for fruits. Features of the use of this product, as well as important points The preparation of the solution is described in the information in our article.
Description of the disease
Representatives of the nightshade family are susceptible to late blight. These are tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. Phytophthora spores may be present in the ground, on planting material and weeds. You can accidentally introduce late blight along with new soil or plant debris. There are frequent cases of this fungus migrating by air, for example, from a neighboring area. It is necessary to fight this scourge immediately, otherwise literally within a week from lush bushes there won't be a trace left.
The first signs of late blight can be noticed upon examination lower leaves plants. They are covered with brown-black spots, which quickly increase in size and affect the stem and fruits. In the later stages, the plant can no longer be saved and the best way out is to remove it from the site and burn it to prevent the infection from spreading throughout all the plantings.
In the video - late blight of tomatoes:
Favorable conditions for the spread of late blight fungus:
- High humidity. Without water, the spores quickly die when exposed to sunlight. When watering, you should observe moderation and do not wet the leaves of the plants, so as not to provoke disease. If there is an excess of moisture in the soil, it is recommended to increase the frequency of loosening.
- Weakened plants. Any disease has a high chance of sticking to stunted and weak seedlings. To strengthen the root system, mineral supplements are used, as well as natural hardening, which must be carried out at the seedling stage.
- Dense plantings. In such conditions, infection occurs and develops very quickly. To prevent this, you must comply optimal distance between plants, and also, if necessary, thin out thickets. It should also be noted that pinching plants and removing leaves cannot be done after watering and at high air humidity. This provokes the penetration of spores into the plant and worsens the situation.
It will also be interesting and useful to learn more about which ones are most suitable.
It is not always possible to create everything for garden crops the necessary conditions, especially since rainy and cold summers are simply ideal for the appearance of harmful late blight. In this case, they will come to the rescue special methods struggles that are diverse. Trichopolum is considered one of the most effective.
Effect of the drug
The active ingredient of the drug is metronidazole. It is used in the treatment of fungal diseases in people, but you can find advice from experienced gardeners who use it for plants. Its action is based on the destruction of pathogenic fungi, because this remedy is effective against most known trunks.
Trichopolum
How to prepare a solution of "Trichopol":
- A standard package of this medicine (20 tablets) is enough for 10 liters of water. If a larger volume is required for spraying, the number of tablets increases proportionally.
- It is recommended to first dissolve the tablets in a small volume of water to achieve a homogeneous solution.
- The resulting mixture is poured into a suitable container and diluted to the required 10 liters.
- Spraying is carried out on the same day; the solution is not intended for storage.
The use of such sprays can be alternated with traditional methods fight against late blight. Fungal spores quickly adapt to the drugs used, so the technique must be changed frequently.
But how to use ash as a fertilizer for tomatoes, and what results can be achieved from using such a product, is indicated
Combined methods give excellent results when the plant is well treated together with the soil layer.
Features of use
As for anyone medicinal product, before using Trichopolum, you need to study the instructions, and in this case, the advice of experienced gardeners. The product is effective and safe only if used correctly.
The main nuances of using “Trichopol” against late blight:
- Spraying should be carried out in the first half of the day in dry and windless weather.
- The solution must be prepared immediately before use. The remainder of the mixture cannot be stored; it is better to immediately calculate the required amount.
- The plant must be processed completely, paying special attention to the lower leaves.
- If it rains after spraying, it is better to repeat the treatment the next day.
- To disinfect the root system, it is better to water each bush with 50 ml of the mixture under the root.
- Plants must be treated once every ten days.. The number of treatments should not exceed three to four times per season.
- The first time of spraying is carried out after planting seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse.
- If it is impossible to purchase the original Trichopolum, you can replace it with a cheaper analogue - Metronidazole.
But how to properly combat late blight on tomatoes, and what the best means are, is indicated
Using the drug with brilliant green
According to gardeners, this combination is even more effective, because additional disinfection of the soil and shoots occurs. To prepare such a solution, just add a standard bottle of pharmaceutical brilliant green to the mixture described above. The antiseptic can be replaced with iodine, only the portion will be several times smaller - approximately 15 - 20 drops.
The frequency and order of processing remain the same, the only inconvenience is the creation of a pigment of the substance used, which can stain the skin or clothing.
Late blight is a dangerous disease that can quickly destroy potato or tomato plantings. To avoid infection, it is recommended to thin out the plantings and provide them with comfortable watering and ventilation. If you notice the first signs of late blight, you must act without delay.
In the video - trichopolum with potassium permanganate:
Late blight is a serious disease of nightshade plants, which must be treated so as not to lose the entire harvest. Not only specialized products help fight infection, but also conventional pharmaceutical drugs, such as Trichopolum and its cheaper analogue Metronidazole. It is recommended to treat tomatoes with Trichopolum first as a preventive measure, since late blight is much easier to prevent than to eradicate. But it is also possible to stop the development of the fungus using these available means.
Phytophthora in tomatoes: what it looks like, favorable conditions for the fungus
Late blight disease is caused by a fungus. The spores are found in the soil, as well as in low-quality seeds. Plants can also become infected with the help of wind, which carries pathogens from nearby plantings or a neighbor’s plot. Late blight requires emergency intervention, since a week after its detection there is a high probability of losing the entire harvest.
How the disease manifests itself: first, dark brown spots form on the bushes - you need to look for them on the lower part of the leaf blade. The fungus then progresses, moving to the stem and fruits. If late blight has developed to this stage, then the plantings will have to be removed and burned; it will no longer be possible to cure them.
What conditions allow the late blight fungus to develop?attack and hit tomatoes:
- Density of plantings. Such bushes receive little light necessary to kill the fungus. When planting, a distance of at least 0.7-1 m must be maintained between tomatoes. And we should not forget about thinning out the stepchildren.
- High humidity. Water should be added as needed in moderate quantities. Drops should not fall on the leaves - water is poured strictly at the root. Excessively moist soil should be loosened after watering.
- Weak root system. This mistake should be avoided already at the seedling stage. The roots are fed with complex fertilizers. When transplanting, tomatoes are moved along with a lump of earth, trying not to damage the roots.
- Overfeeding with nitrogen. This “fatification” leads to a weakening of the plant’s immunity: tomatoes require the element only at the green growth stage.
"Trichopol" and "Metronidazole" against late blight
Pharmaceutical drug "Trichopol" is intended for the treatment of human fungal diseases, but it is also effective against late blight on tomatoes. The product helps destroy pathogenic microorganisms in the early stages of their development. The drug is available in tablet form. The advantage of Trichopolum is safety for the plants themselves.
“Metronidazole” against late blight on tomatoes is as effective as its more expensive analogue, and is available in the same form, tablets.
In both cases, a solution is prepared from the medicine. For efficiency "Trichopol" or "Metronidazole" mixed with brilliant green, iodine.
When to treat
Treatment of tomatoes for preventive purposes is carried out in early spring. You need to start by treating the seeds before planting. Then the young seedlings are watered with the solution. In the fall, it also doesn’t hurt to treat the soil for planting tomatoes by watering.
For treatment, tomatoes are processed in early June, since it is in this month that late blight begins to actively manifest itself. Carry out no more than 3-4 treatments with an interval of 10 days. The last operation is recommended to be carried out 2 weeks before harvest.
Advice! The drugs need to be alternated with other treatments, since the fungus tends to adapt. For replacement, folk remedies are used: dairy products, saline solution, tobacco, ash.
How to treat tomatoes with Trichopolum
How to use Trichopolum for tomatoes infected with fungus:
- 20 Trichopolum tablets are first diluted in a small amount of warm water. Then the mixture is poured into a bucket, which is filled with water up to 10 liters.
- An overdose is not allowed, as there is a danger of burning the plant.
- To prevent the product from flowing off the foliage, but staying on it, liquid soap is added to the solution.
- Treatment is carried out in the morning, in warm, windless and dry weather.
- The entire bush is sprayed, but special attention is paid to the lower part of the leaves - this is where the causative agent of the disease is located.
- Even if the rest of the bush is externally healthy, it is still recommended to treat it, since the fungus can be present in all parts.
- To treat the root system, water the soil around the bush. For one plant - 50 ml of solution. Not much, but it will be enough.
- The solution cannot be stored, so it must be used on the day of preparation, preferably immediately after the tablets have dissolved. The rest will have to be thrown away.
- The procedure is carried out once every 10 days.
- If it rains on the selected day or the next day, the procedure is repeated (for street plantings), since the Trichopolum solution is easily washed off.
- If the plant has been pruned, then you should not rush to treat it with Trichopolum and other antifungal agents. The cuts on the stem should tighten - you should give them at least 3-4 hours.
Advice! When treating an affected bush, it is necessary to spray the neighboring plantings with the drug, even if there are no traces of the disease on them.
Additives to the Trichopolum solution
For greater efficiency, brilliant green is often added to the prepared solution. The product is an additional antifungal component. For 10 liters of prepared solution - one bottle.
Iodine can be used for the same purpose. 15-20 drops of the product are enough for a ready-made solution with a volume of 10 liters.
How to use Metronidazole
"Metronidazole" is an analogue of "Trichopol", they have the same active ingredient.
How to spray tomatoes with the preparation:
- The proportions of water and tablets are the same as in the case of Trichopolum: 20 pieces per 10 liters.
- Infected plantings can be treated either by spraying or by watering the soil around the bush.
- If tomato leaves curl, they are thoroughly wiped with the solution on both sides.
- Does not harm plants if you combine a solution of Metronidazole with brilliant green.
The best remedy against late blight on tomatoes is careful care at all stages. Late blight will not affect bushes when they correct landing. Preventative measures are much more effective than treatment. The development of the late blight fungus can only be slowed down, but the plant is unlikely to be completely cured.
From year to year, gardeners are faced with an annoying and quite dangerous problem -.
Description and release form
For the most part, anti-phytophthora preparations can be used before fruits begin to ripen. In addition, they are quite poisonous and chemically unsafe.
And only recently have people thought of using medications designed to treat people to combat this problem at different stages of development.
Did you know? Tomatoes came to European territory from America around the middle of the sixteenth century.
"Trichopol" is one of these drugs used for late blight. It is available in the form of white, slightly yellow tablets containing 250 mg of metronidazole each. This drug is widely available in any pharmacy.
