videoand fungi easily get inside. Processing the greenhouse with copper sulphate in the spring or autumn makes it possible to effectively disinfect the soil and the entire structure.
Treatment is carried out after the end of the summer season or in early spring, when there is at least a couple of weeks left before sowing or planting. For disinfection at home, many tools are available. But sulfate copper is universal. Summer resident can spend the spring treatment of blue vitriol in the greenhouse. The same tool will help where water is powerless, that is, it will clean the inside and outside of greenhouse structures of all types.
If you do not pay enough attention to the safety of crops growing in closed ground, the accumulation of pathogenic flora, pest larvae and fungal spores is inevitable. This means that greenhouse plants will increasingly hurt, giving a poor poor-quality crop.
It is especially important to monitor the cleanliness and regularly treat the greenhouse with copper sulphate in the spring, if the plants had signs of bacterial or fungal diseases last season.
Copper sulfate is a highly active inorganic fungicide with antiseptic properties that works on all surfaces, as well as a trace element that replenishes copper deficiency in the soil. In gardening and horticulture find all the useful properties of the chemical.
Security measures for greenhouse processing in the spring
The copper sulfate has moderate toxicity. In permissible dosages, the product will not harm the skin, but may burn the mucous membranes. Blue powder or solution is washed off with plenty of water. However, if the chemical gets into the digestive tract, more effective measures are taken:
- The esophagus and stomach are washed with a pink solution of potassium permanganate;
- causes emetic urge;
- give diuretics and laxatives.
Following the instructions will help to avoid unpleasant consequences of contact with copper sulphate. In the fall and spring, greenhouse processing is carried out with copper sulphate in gloves and a mask using non-food non-metallic dishes.
Before springing a greenhouse with copper sulfate, one should make sure that children, unprotected family members and pets should not be near the irrigation zone.
How to dissolve copper sulfate for treating greenhouses
To clean a greenhouse on the basis of copper sulphate, a solution is prepared, which is subsequently treated and the soil, frame and coating. At the same time, the concentration of the chemical to disinfect the soil should be much lower. This is due to the increased acidity of copper sulfate, its negative effect on the fertility of the substrate and the ability to accumulate.
Before diluting the copper sulfate for processing greenhouses, inside all carefully cleaned all crop residues, dispose of and disinfect work tools, irrigation containers and reusable seedlings. Then comes the turn of the soil. The content of copper sulfate in this case should be no more than 50 grams per bucket of water, and the flow rate should be about 2 liters per square meter.
In the spring, tillage in the greenhouse with copper sulfate in combination with lime, neutralizing the increased acidity of the solution, reduces the toxicity of the chemical. In this case, the summer resident will be able not to lose the fungicidal action of fluids on pathogenic fungi and other pathogens of plant diseases.
You can obtain the desired composition by separately mixing solutions of copper sulphate and lime, and then, gently stirring, pouring the blue liquid into the milk of lime. After stirring and straining, the agent can be applied.
How to process greenhouse with blue vitriol? For washing the film, polycarbonate, metal or plastic frame use a solution that is prepared at the rate of 100 grams of vitriol per 10 liters of water.
- The powder, while stirring, is dissolved in a small volume of warm water.
- The concentration is then adjusted to the desired level by adding the right amount of water.
- To improve the adhesion of the solution to the material and enhance detergent properties, add 150 grams of liquid or ground soap to the water.
How to process a greenhouse copper sulfate
spring After harvesting and burning of crop residues all designs are washed with soap or other household means:
- useful metal frame primed and painted. This will extend the life of the greenhouse and prevent corrosion.
- The wooden frame is pre-saturated with saturated, at the rate of 700 grams per 10 liters of water, with copper sulphate solution, whitened with slaked lime or coated with paint for trees.
When the sanitization is completed, it is time to move on to mixing the copper sulfate solution and irrigating the interior of the garden building. Especially carefully handle the lower, in contact with the ground elements of the coating. After complete drying, the treatment is repeated.
How to cultivate the land in the greenhouse with copper sulfate? In its pure form, the chemical accumulates and may lead to a deterioration in the quality of the soil. Therefore, a solution of copper sulfate is desirable to use in the fall and once.
It is much safer to use Bordeaux or Burgundy liquid. The solution shed the entire area of the greenhouse, including the tracks. It is better to carry out processing after watering, then the solution is more easily absorbed. The action of copper sulfate begins 1-3 hours after mixing and ends 10–14 days later. In order to maximize the effectiveness of greenhouse processing with copper sulphate, in the spring they choose dry, windless, but not hot weather.
