Currants are one of the most popular and useful berries that grow in many gardens.
However, to enjoy its taste and aroma, you need to take care of the bushes and protect them from pests.
There are many ways to combat insects, but one of the most effective is to treat currants with soda, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Why does soda help against pests?
Soda is a natural and safe product that does not harm plants and soil.
Baking soda has antiseptic and fungicidal properties that help kill fungi, bacteria and insects.
In addition, soda increases the acidity of the soil, which has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of currants.
How to properly treat currants with soda
To treat currants with soda, you need to prepare a solution of 10 liters of water, 50 grams of soda and 20 grams of soap.
The soap will help the solution stick better to the leaves and shoots. The solution should be mixed well and sprayed on the currant bushes.
Treatment should be carried out twice a year: in the spring, when the first leaves appear, and in the fall, after harvesting.
Treating currants with soda will help protect the bushes from pests such as mites, aphids, scale insects, powdery mildew and others.
This way you can maintain the health of your plants and get a good harvest of aromatic and tasty berries.
