Reviews gardeners

Ivan, Moscow region

Every year in the greenhouse there is a problem with blight. On the market in the department, the seller advised Acrobat MC, decided to take. Sprayed tomatoes already affected by blight, although the instructions should be in the early stages. But the drug helped, firstly, the disease did not go further, and secondly, the tomatoes continued to knit the fruit. Sustained a month (sprayed at the end of July), in early September, all the fruits collected, there were red, and all greens were removed. There were no stains, they were stored for almost a month, until gradually they all rolled up in cans and ate in salads. Very pleased with the drug.

Irina, Vologda

Acrobat MC has read about the preparation against phytophthora in a garden newspaper. Praised him very much, so I decided to try. So I still barely found it on sale, so I recommend buying in advance. I sprayed potatoes, processed all the tomatoes, they grow on my street. Phytophtora was not, although, perhaps, the weather was not rainy. But before me, if the potatoes are normal, then the tomatoes will surely get sick, and here - all the beauties stood up to the very first cold and did not turn black.
