Have you ever thought about the fact that plants also get sick? All diseases to which plants are susceptible can be conditionally divided into two categories: viral and bacterial. Depending on what type of disease is chosen plant protection products . And that's exactly what we'll cover in this article. It is worth noting that plants can die not only from pests, but also due to the presence of weeds. Therefore, weeds in flower beds also need to be “fought”.
The available remedies are divided into the following types:
- herbicides;
- insecticides;
- disinfectants;
- pesticides;
- rodenticides;
- fungidids.
The chemicals used to control vegetation are called herbicides. In this group of plant protection products, herbicides are isolated, which destroy all vegetation and preparations that act "selectively". Such herbicides are dangerous for a particular plant species.
Insecticides are chemicals that are used to fight harmful insects. This kind of group of agents is usually used for disinfection. For example, there are insecticides to protect planting plants from various kinds of pests. There are also insecticide preparations that protect plants from soil pests.
Pesticides are products that are designed to kill pests or fight diseases. Adhesives are used to improve the action of pesticides.
But the pesticides that are used to treat the seed, to protect them in the future from fungus and bacteria, are called disinfectants. This kind of drugs include: formalin, mercuran, granosan, others.
Both organic and inorganic compounds are used as rodenticides. Such funds are intended, as a rule, to combat warm-blooded pests. For example, these are rats, mice, and other rodents that harm plants. Typically, this kind of drugs are used on agricultural land.
Biologists note that the most common plant diseases are those caused by fungi. And to combat it, they use such a category of remedies as fungidits. It is also worth noting that this kind of chemistry is also used as a prevention of the development of many diseases, the causative agent of which is a fungus.
