Description
What is iron sulfate for?
The chemical granules are dissolved in water (but not in an iron container) at a concentration depending on the purpose of use. The resulting solution can be used to treat cultures in order to:
- Treatment (50 g of the drug per bucket of water) and prevention (10 g) of chlorosis. Suitable for all plants without exception: trees, shrubs, garden and flower crops.
- Pest control. Spraying twice (in spring and autumn) will help free trees and bushes from aphids, moths, apple sucker, leaf beetle, cabbage scoop and other insects. Here you need a strong 5% solution.
- Treatments for fungal diseases: rot, powdery mildew, spot, scab, black cancer and others. For prophylaxis, a weakly concentrated solution (1%) is used. For treatment, it is necessary to prepare a stronger remedy - up to 5%.
- Getting rid of lichens and moss. Trees, bushes, stones must be treated with a 4-5% solution.
- Disinfection of trees when wounds, hollows and various cracks appear on them. A weak 1% solution should be used to treat all damage.
With a concentrated (up to 7%) solution of ferrous sulfate, trees can be treated only in early spring, until the buds have blossomed. The green mass should be sprayed with a weak solution, no more than 1%, otherwise there will be burns.
Iron sulfate will help not only in the garden and in the garden. The solution can be used to clean walls (wood and concrete) to remove mold. Granules should be replaced with expensive antiseptics - they just need to be poured into the cesspool. And the drug is also introduced into the soil for autumn digging in order to enrich it with iron.
