Fusarium - a serious attack - fungal infected plants, which is best detected in the early stages of the disease. Spores of the fungus-pest found in soil and enter the plant through wounds and microcracks. It can capture plant at any growth stage and any age.
It manifested outwardly in the blackening of the stems and yellowing leaves of the plant, the gradual withering. Hidden from the primary lesion of the root - rotting process contributes to the spread of the disease.
The source of infection becomes, as a rule, the soil is infested with seeds and seedlings.
Key actions to prevent Fusarium
The disease is dangerous because it always begins with root rot, find it in the early stages of manifestation is impossible. Therefore, the main control measures become proactive.
- calcining the soil for seedlings, garden vases and ridges. Of course, this method is simple only if we talk about the plants, when the number of small Peat mixture. However, if you wish, you can be puzzled and processing the earth in the open beds. Part of this may help in the final autumn work in the garden. Burning leaves and other garden waste, start a bonfire on the beds.

That can be used for etching:
- weak solution of potassium permanganate;
- fresh aloe juice and water (1: 3);
- solution of boric acid.
Remember that the process of seed treatment perceives as a call for growth. Therefore, this procedure is performed directly before planting or planting seedlings in the open ground.
- Treatment of the soil with special structures (Trihodermin). Such a method is suitable for potted plants and potted plantings. Just add 4-5 pellets of the drug in the pots volume of 4 liters.
- Treatment of open beds and beds produced from the early stages of crop seeds. For this work fit preparations Mikosan-B Fitotsid already mentioned Trihodermin. Prepare treatment solution should be strictly according to the formulation specified in the label means.
