Tips and reviews

Alexander Ivanovich, Udmurtia

Trihopol began to apply about 2 years ago. Phytophthora tortured, I decided to try a new tool for me. In the first year he began to use it when the spots on the leaves appeared. The solution was made from 20 tablets, sprayed once a week. It was possible to stop the spread, but at the end of August it all started again. I had to harvest tomatoes to save the crop. In the second year I decided to try again, read about the use cases. For prevention, he sprayed seedlings at home and later, after transplantation, while adult bushes were treated in mid-July and early August. Phytophtora was not, but the weather was unsuitable for her. So, I think, it is possible to use trichopol from phytophtoras, but in the system.

Evgenia, Kurgan

In August, the phytophthora is common with us and I prepare for its appearance in advance - I spend prophylaxis with trihopol. At first I made a solution with only pills, and then I found a recipe where the dosage is lower, but you need to add milk. Now I use tablets 2 times less, but 1/3 of the volume of the solution is milk. Applied for spraying seedlings of tomatoes and cucumbers.
