NATURAL FUNGICIDE SPRAY FOR PLANTS

Are your garden plants having any of these: rust and black spots on leaves; leaf, root and stem rot; rotting flower petals and buds; fuzzy grey mould and white powdery mildew on leaves? These are plant diseases caused by fungi.

Fungal pathogens are behind 85% of all plant disease. Most fungi reproduce through spores. They cause stress to plants, damaging and eventually killing them, if nothing is done.

But wait, don’t turn to chemical solutions to eradicate these problems. Why not prepare your own fungicide using natural ingredients? Here’s a recipe for a natural fungicide spray by the Philippines East-West Seed Foundation. This simple spray prevents new fungal spores from establishing on plants and stops existing fungi from continuing to develop.

(Note: This recipe doesn’t need a higher concentration – a too concentrated solution may burn plant leaves.)
