It takes a lot of effort to get a good tomato crop. It is especially important to ensure reliable protection of seedlings and adult plants from fungal or bacterial attack. Experienced gardeners use Trichopolum for tomato seedlings, the drug belongs to the group of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The principle of operation of Trichopolum
This drug can be purchased over the counter at any pharmacy. It comes in 250 or 500 mg tablets.
The excellent results of using the drug are due to its composition. The active ingredient of Trichopolum is the antibiotic Metronidazole, which was synthesized artificially. It has antimicrobial and antiprotozoal properties. In addition, the preparation contains such substances as potato starch, gelatin, starch syrup and magnesium stearate.
Trichopol
Trichopolum inhibits the vital 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 prophylaxis or to combat fungal and bacterial plant diseases. Excellent results were shown by the use of the drug in the fight against such diseases:
- Late blight. It is the most widespread and most dangerous plant disease. It appears as gray or brown spots that can affect both ground and underground parts of the plant. It is spread by zoospores. Trichopolum from 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, work tools, or through the air. Affected plants quickly begin to wither, their foliage falls off, a dense bloom forms on the green part of the plant white, which greatly complicates the process of photosynthesis.
- Fusarium. The disease is caused by pathogenic fungi that enter 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 triggered by bacteria. It affects all parts of the plant, which dry out after a short time.
- Blackleg. It develops with too abundant watering of the soil, insufficient supply of sunlight to the plants. The disease can affect plants that are grown both in the greenhouse and in the open field.
Diseases of tomatoes
Metronidazole for tomatoes has several advantages. Among the most significant are the following:
- high level of efficiency;
- affordable price;
- simplicity of solution preparation;
- safety for humans.
Metronidazole for tomatoes helps not only fight against different kinds plant diseases, but also to carry out disease prevention.
How to process tomatoes with Trichopolum
To get the result, you need to know how to dilute Trichopolum for spraying tomatoes.
Rules for the use of Metronidazole for tomatoes and cucumbers:
- It is necessary to spray the plants before lunch in dry and light weather.
- The solution is prepared just before processing. The solution that remains after spraying cannot be reused.
- During processing, it is necessary to completely spray each plant. It is necessary to turn Special attention on the stem and leaves, which are located at the bottom of the plant.
- If it has rained 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 finished solution.
- The first treatment should be carried out after the seedlings are planted in open soil.
Important! Throughout the season, the processing of tomatoes with Trichopolum from late blight or other disease should be carried out at least 3-4 times.
- all seed material is processed before sowing;
- simultaneously with picking tomato seedlings;
- immediately after planting 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 the use of Metronidazole
Solution preparation options:
- 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 all the remaining water be added. The solution can be used only after 20 - 30 minutes.
- With brilliant green. The addition of brilliant green to the Trichopol solution enhances the effectiveness of the drug. At the same time, 10 Trichopolum tablets 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, you should pay attention to the fact that the liquid does not get on the leaves. To provide maximum effect action of the drug, the air temperature should be at least 25 degrees. If it is not possible to provide such conditions in a natural way, after processing the plant bed 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 preventive purposes... This should be done when the plants are at the stage of development. To prepare a working solution, you 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 by 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. For work in small areas, it is recommended to use sprayers. This will help save not only ready solution but also the running time.
Alternative treatments for 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:
- Oxyhom. Available in pill form. To prepare the solution, add 1 tablet to 5 liters of water. In addition to the fact that the plant itself is processed, it is also recommended to spray the soil under it.
- Fitosporin M. the drug is used as a prophylaxis for late blight disease. Dissolve 3 g in 1 liter of water. drug. It is recommended to treat the seedlings with such solutions every week.
- Quadris. A new agent that has a wide spectrum of action and belongs to strobilurins. It is used to combat a wide range of diseases, including powdery mildew, late blight, downy mildew and spotting. Upon contact with the plant, the drug begins to act instantly.
- Acrobat. This tool was recently developed. As a result, fungi and bacteria have not yet developed an addiction to it.
- Ridomil. It is 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 almost any pesticide.
- Agate. The drug is of biological origin. Used for pre-treatment of seeds before sowing. Its use contributes not only to the rapid germination of seeds, but also reduces the risk of disease in seedlings and adult plants by 50 - 60%.
- Maksim. It is mainly used for seed treatment, which prevents the development of rot in young seedlings.
- Fundazol. It is presented in the form of a white powder that has a little bad smell... This is what scares away insects from young shoots.
- Bordeaux mixture. It is used to fight fungal diseases.
Alternative treatments for tomato seedlings
These are just some of the drugs that are used to combat or prevent various kinds of tomato diseases. Experienced gardeners advise against getting hung up on any one tool. This can cause bacteria or fungi diseases to become addicted to it. It is necessary to spray the plants with several preparations, alternating them.
Besides chemicals gardeners also use solutions prepared according to folk recipes... According to reviews, their effectiveness is no less than ready-made fungicides.
Among the most famous and successful I would like to name the following:
- garlic solution (chop 1, 5 tbsp. garlic arrows and pour them with 10 liters of warm water. Leave to infuse in this form for 24 hours. After the specified time, strain the solution, and then add 2 g. potassium permanganate. The first time this solution is used during the period the formation of the ovary. Subsequently, they can be sprayed with 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 the disease are detected);
- table salt (the agent is used for processing green fruits of tomatoes. To prepare it, 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, this solution will help prevent the development of a large list of diseases, it helps to accelerate the ripening of fruits);
- tinder fungus (100 grams of fresh mushroom is steamed in 1 liter of warm water. Such a solution can be used after 12 hours. It can be used to combat the development of late blight on tomatoes);
- propolis (100 grams of propolis, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, dissolve in 1 liter of water and insist for 24 hours);
- breaking straw (soak 1 kg of straw in 10 liters of warm water and add 200 grams of urea there. The mixture should be infused for 4 - 5 days. Then drain the liquid that is used to spray the tomatoes. The treatment can be repeated every 15 days).
Folk remedies
It cannot be said 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 treatment from the stage of seed preparation. Their germination depends on this. Right choice means for processing tomato seedlings has a direct impact on the yield.
Knowing how to plant Trichopolum for tomatoes, you can save plants from many dangerous diseases.
Iodine in the garden
An ordinary bottle of iodine is able to provide a gardener with more than one great service. Since we all know from childhood that iodine is an excellent antiseptic, it is a sin not to use this property in the prevention of plant diseases, especially all kinds of rot. A solution of 5-10 drops of iodine in ten liters of water is recommended to spray strawberries and strawberries before flowering. This simple procedure will get rid of gray mold and activate vitality... Spraying is carried out 2-3 times with an interval of ten days. A solution of one drop of iodine in three liters of water is watered once on tomato seedlings to increase productivity and future fruit sizes. After planting the seedlings in the ground, you can carry out iodine feeding again by adding three drops of iodine to a bucket of water. Watering rate: liter for a 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 fighting the hated late blight. Adding a liter of low-fat milk and 10-12 drops of iodine to 9 liters of water, a solution is obtained that destroys downy mildew on cucumbers. In addition, iodine is part of the remedies that prevent yellowing of the leaves of cucumbers and contribute to the rejuvenation of the lashes.
Zelenka in the garden
The brilliant green solution is no less famous than iodine, it can also be used in the country house, do not hesitate. Zelenka can be used to lubricate wounds to plants with shallow pruning or accidental damage instead of garden varnish. 40 drops of brilliant green dissolved in a bucket of water will help rid tomatoes of phytophthora, and cucumbers - from powdery mildew... In order not to measure it drop by drop each time, you can dilute a bottle of brilliant green in a liter of water, and then add a little bit to the water for spraying by eye. Spraying cherries with a weak solution of brilliant green promotes better fruit setting.
Trichopolum in the garden
Trichopolum is used as a prophylactic agent against late blight. For this purpose, 1 tablet of "Trichopolum" is dissolved in 1 liter of water and tomatoes are sprayed every two weeks.
Aspirin in the garden
Aspirin is part of one of the means to combat gooseberry and currant powdery mildew.
Potassium permanganate in the garden
Potassium permanganate is well known to any gardener and is used everywhere. First of all, in a pink solution of potassium permanganate (0.5 grams per 100 ml), it is recommended to pickle the seeds before planting in order to destroy possible pathogens wintering on the seeds. For this purpose, the seeds are soaked in the solution for 20 minutes and then dried. If you add potassium permanganate to a bucket of pink solution (3 grams per 10 liters) boric acid on the tip of a knife, then a good early spring feeding for strawberries, raspberries, currants and gooseberries will come out. 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 do not 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 storage. Neither wireworm nor pathogenic fungi like this treatment. In addition, soil for seedlings dissolved in water is spilled with potassium permanganate, boxes, cups and pots in which they plan to grow seedlings or forcing greens are washed, greenhouses and hotbeds are processed from the inside and outside to prevent plant diseases. The only thing that should not be forgotten 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 vegetable garden
These vitamins are used to feed flowers. Five times with an interval of two weeks, the plants are fed with the following solution: 5 ml. glucose and 1 ml. vitamin B1 per 5 liters of water. Abundant and long-lasting flowering guaranteed!
Boric acid in the garden
Boric acid is the best helper for poor fruit setting. 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 at the tip of a knife to a bucket of water with a pink solution of potassium permanganate, mix everything thoroughly and use it to feed strawberries and raspberries in early spring... Such dressing not only helps to increase the 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. For 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 dressing. 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 pathogens 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 in the same way and dry to a free-flowing state. Such 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 prophylactic spraying of tomatoes.

The beginning of spring is not clear in time, so you need to closely follow the clues of nature. The "red day" of the gardener's calendar is when the mother-and-stepmother blooms. On average, it is April 7th. From that day, our ancestors counted down the dates of spring work. The beginning of plowing (preparation of the beds for sowing) was timed to coincide with the 14th day. On the 11th day of flowering, hives were set up, planted fruit trees, cleaned strawberries from dry leaves, loosened the ground. On the 23rd day they sowed early vegetables- onions, beets, turnips, parsley, dill, carrots, peas, radishes, radishes. 30 days after coltsfoot, birch and poplar bloom. This is the signal to land early potatoes... IF THE STEPMOM'S MOTHER FLOWERED in early April, or even earlier, it is better to postpone the planting of potatoes until the cherry blossoms.

Comments (1)
Among all the variety of means to combat late blight on the site, special attention should be paid to this particular drug. "Trichopolum" has an effective effect and at the same time is relatively safe for fruits. Features of the use of this tool, as well as important points preparation of the solution is described in the information of our article.
Description of the disease
Representatives of the nightshade family are susceptible to late blight. These are tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. Phytophthora spores can be present in the ground, on planting material and weeds. You can accidentally bring phytophthora along with new soil or plant debris. There are frequent cases of migration of this fungus by air, for example, from a neighboring area. It is necessary to fight this scourge immediately, otherwise literally in a week from lush bushes not a trace will remain.
The first signs of late blight can be seen on examination. lower leaves plants. They are covered with brown - black spots that rapidly increase in size, affecting 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 in order to prevent the spread of the infection throughout all plantings.
On the video - late blight of tomatoes:
Favorable conditions for the spread of the phytophthora fungus:
- High humidity... Without water, the spores die quickly when exposed to sunlight. When watering, you should observe moderation and not wet the leaves of the plants, so as not to provoke a disease. With an excess of moisture in the soil, it is recommended to increase the frequency of loosening.
- Weakened plants. Any disease will stick to stunted and weak seedlings with great chances. To strengthen the root system, mineral fertilizing is used, as well as natural hardening, which must be carried out even at the seedling stage.
- Dense plantings. In such conditions, infection occurs and develops very quickly. To prevent this, you must observe optimal distance between plants, as well as, if necessary, thin out thickets. It should also be noted that pinching of plants and removal of leaves cannot be carried out 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 the rainy and cold summer is just ideal for the appearance of the harmful phytophthora. In this case, they will come to the rescue special methods struggles that are diverse. One of the most effective is Trichopolum.
Drug action
The active ingredient of the drug is metronidazole. It is used in the treatment of fungal diseases in humans, 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 of the known boles.
Trichopol
How to prepare Trichopolum solution:
- A standard package of this medicine (20 tablets) is enough for 10 liters of water. If more volume is needed to spray, the number of tablets increases proportionally.
- It is recommended to pre-dissolve the tablets in a small volume of water in order 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 spraying can be alternated with folk 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 fertilizer for tomatoes, and what result can be achieved from the use of such a tool, it is indicated
Combined methods give excellent results when the plant is well processed together with the soil layer.
Features of use
As for anyone medicinal product, before using "Trichopol" it is necessary to study the instructions, and in this case - the advice of experienced gardeners. The tool is effective and safe only when used correctly.
The main nuances of using Trichopolum from phytophthora:
- Spraying should be carried out in the morning in dry and calm weather.
- It is necessary to prepare the solution immediately before use. The remains of the mixture cannot be stored; it is better to immediately calculate the required amount.
- The plant must be processed completely, paying particular 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 need to be processed every ten days.... The number of treatments should not exceed three to four times per season.
- The first time spraying is carried out after planting seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse.
- If it is impossible to buy the original "Trichopol", you can replace it with a cheaper analogue - "Metronidazole".
But how to properly combat late blight on tomatoes, and which remedies are the best, is indicated
Using the drug with brilliant green
According to gardeners, such a combination is even more effective, because additional disinfection of the soil and shoots occurs. To prepare such a solution, it is enough to add a standard bottle of pharmacy brilliant green to the above mixture. The antiseptic can be replaced with iodine, only the portion will be several times smaller - about 15 - 20 drops.
The frequency and order of processing remain the same, the only inconvenience is to create a pigment of the substance used, which can stain the skin or clothing.
Late blight is a dangerous disease that can quickly destroy the planting of potatoes or tomatoes. To avoid infection, it is recommended to thin out the plantings, as well as provide them with a comfortable watering and airing regime. When the first sign of late blight is detected, it is necessary to act without delay.
In the video - trichopolum with potassium permanganate:
Phytophthora is a serious disease of nightshades, which must be treated in order not to lose the entire crop. Not only specialized drugs help fight infection, but also conventional pharmaceuticals such as Trichopol and its cheaper analogue Metronidazole. It is recommended to process tomatoes with "Trichopolom" first as a preventive measure, since phytophthora is much easier to prevent than to eradicate. But it is also possible to stop the development of the fungus with the help of these available means.
Phytophthora in tomatoes: what it looks like, favorable conditions for the fungus
The disease late blight is caused by a fungus. Spores are found in the soil as well as in poor quality seeds. Plants can also become infected with the help of the wind, which carries pathogens from nearby plantings or a neighboring area. Phytophthora requires emergency intervention, since a week after its discovery, there is a high probability of losing the entire crop.
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 plate. Further, the fungus progresses, moving to the stem and fruits. If late blight has developed to this stage, then you will have to remove and burn the plantings, it will no longer be possible to cure them.
What conditions allow the phytophthora fungus to develophitting and hitting tomatoes:
- Dense plantings. These shrubs receive little light needed to kill the fungus. When planting, a distance of at least 0.7-1 m must be observed between the tomatoes. And one should not forget about the thinning of the stepsons.
- High humidity. Water should be applied as needed in moderation. Drops should not fall on the leaves - water is poured strictly under the root. Excessively moistened 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, the tomatoes are moved along with a lump of earth, being careful not to damage the roots.
- Overfeeding with nitrogen. Such "fattening" leads to a weakening of planting immunity: the element is required for tomatoes only at the stage of green growth.
"Trichopolum" and "Metronidazole" against late blight
Pharmacy preparation "Trichopol" it is intended for the treatment of fungal diseases in humans, but it is also effective against late blight on tomatoes. The tool helps to 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" from late blight on tomatoes is as effective as its more expensive counterpart, and is available in the same form as tablets.
In both cases, a solution is prepared from the drug. For efficiency Trichopolum or Metronidazole mixed with brilliant green, iodine.
When to process
Prophylactic processing of tomatoes is carried out from 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 does not hurt to process the soil for planting tomatoes through watering.
For treatment, tomatoes are processed in early June, since it is in this month that late blight begins to actively manifest itself. No more than 3-4 treatments are carried out with an interval of 10 days. The last operation is recommended to be carried out 2 weeks before harvest.
Advice! The drugs must be alternated with other treatments, since the fungus tends to adapt. For replacement, folk remedies are used: dairy products, saline, tobacco, ash.
How to treat tomatoes with Trichopolom
How to apply Trichopolum for tomatoes infected with fungus:
- 20 tablets of "Trichopol" 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.
- Overdosing is not allowed, as there is a danger of plant burns.
- So that the product does not drain from the foliage, but lingers on it, liquid soap is added to the solution.
- Processing is carried out in the morning, in warm, calm and dry weather.
- The entire bush is sprayed, but special attention is paid to the lower part of the leaves - this is where the pathogen is located.
- Even if outwardly the rest of the bush is healthy, it is still recommended to process it, since the fungus can be found in all parts.
- To treat the root system, the soil around the bush is watered. For one plant - 50 ml of solution. Not enough, but it will be enough.
- The solution cannot be stored, therefore it must be used on the day of preparation, preferably immediately after the tablets are dissolved. The rest will have to be poured out.
- The procedure is carried out once every 10 days.
- If it rains on the selected 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 the treatment with Trichopolum and other antifungal agents. Slices on the stem should be tightened - you should give them at least 3-4 hours.
Advice! When processing the affected bush, it is necessary to spray the drug with the neighboring plantings, even if there are no traces of the disease on them.
Additives to the solution "Trichopol"
For greater efficiency, greenery is often added to the finished solution. The agent is an additional anti-fungal component. For 10 liters of ready-made solution - one bottle.
For the same purpose, it is allowed to use iodine. Enough 15-20 drops of the product for a ready-made solution with a volume of 10 liters.
How to use Metronidazole
"Metronidazole" is an analogue of "Trichopol", they have one active ingredient.
How to spray tomatoes with the drug:
- The proportions of water and tablets are the same as in the case of Trichopolum: 20 pieces per 10 liters.
- The infected plantings can be treated both by spraying and by watering the soil around the bush.
- If tomato leaves curl up, they are thoroughly wiped with a solution on both sides.
- Does not harm plants if you combine Metronidazole solution with green stuff.
The best remedy for late blight on tomatoes is careful care at all stages. Late blight will not affect the bushes when they correct fit... Preventive measures are much more effective than treatment. The development of the phytophthora 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 rather dangerous problem -.
Description and release form
For the most part, drugs for late blight can be used before the start of fruit ripening. In addition, they are quite poisonous and chemically unsafe.
And only recently have people thought of using drugs designed to treat people in the fight against this problem at different stages of development.
