Treatment of the greenhouse in spring before planting

The opportunity to get a harvest of your favorite vegetables is provided by a greenhouse . Like any garden plot, the greenhouse requires care not only before the onset of cold weather, but before spring planting.

Treatment of the greenhouse in spring before planting

Preparing the greenhouse in the spring consists of two stages - processing the device itself, that is, its walls and top, and processing the soil itself. The main goal of such an event is not only to restore order, but also disinfection from diseases and fungi, as well as pest larvae that could remain on fragments or crevices of the greenhouse. Washing of glass, film or polycarbonate coatings is made with a solution of laundry soap. Please note that for polycarbonate greenhouses it is not recommended to use abrasives and brushes! The options for conducting high-quality processing of the greenhouse walls in spring are many. Today in agrarian stores many biopreparations are sold, which effectively disinfect, but do not harm future plantings. Among them are popular "Phytop-Flora-S", "Phytocide", "Azotofit".

In addition, it is recommended to carry out treatment of not only the coating, but also the frame, wood or metal. To do this, use home remedies, for example, a solution of hydrated lime, Bordeaux liquid or 10% solution of copper sulfate.

The third step in the treatment of the greenhouse will be fumigation with sulfuric grit, based on 50 g of substance per cubic meter of the device.

Treatment of land in the greenhouse before planting

Soil in the greenhouse also needs treatment, as a result of which the causative agents of viruses and fungi, as well as pest larvae, will die. The first step is to process the soil in the greenhouse in the spring by steaming. For this, the soil is covered with a film, after which an end hose, through which steam should flow. Another option is watering the soil with boiling water.

After heat treatment it is recommended to populate the land with useful microorganisms. Many gardeners recommend the cultivation of soil in the greenhouse before planting biological products, for example, "Tikhodermin", "Phytolavin-300" or "Phytocide".

An excellent option - the spillage on the surface of the soil dolomite flour or garden lime. For each square meter take 50 g of substance.

After the treatment, the soil is recommended to be fertilized or for a short period of time planted with siderates, for example, mustard or watercress.
