Embracing Organic Safeguards: A Wise Choice
Organic preparations designed for plant sprays emerge as the frontline defense, offering robust protection against fungal diseases. Among these, copper sulfate stands out as a historically proven fungicide and bactericide, widely employed to safeguard vines, vegetables, and fruit. As a chemical product, it is advisable to apply copper sulfate during moderate temperatures, steering clear of excessively high heat, which might exacerbate the situation. Optimal seasons for application include autumn and winter, with tomato plants benefiting from a spray about two weeks before fruit ripening.

The Power of Baking Soda and Milk: Gentle yet Effective Guardians
Beyond copper sulfate, baking soda and milk serve as excellent alternatives to shield plants from fungal diseases. Particularly during fruit ripening, steering away from chemical products becomes prudent, making baking soda and milk viable choices. While these solutions may be considered less potent than copper sulfate, their protective impact on plants remains satisfactory. Regular application, ideally once a week, ensures a consistent shield against fungal threats. Remarkably, fruits treated with these solutions can be harvested and consumed immediately after spraying, promising robust, disease-free growth in our cherished plants.
