Baking Soda as Fungicide

Baking soda fungicide ingredients:
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cooking oil
1 tsp dish liquid
1 liter water

Mix well then spray to your plants Late in the afternoon to prevent sun burn
How often can you spray plants with baking soda? Mix them together and spray on your plant’s leaves twice a month as a preventative measure; or spray on the leaves every three days to treat an existing fungal problem.

When should fungicide be applied? Fungicides work best as protectants. This means it is best to apply fungicides before a plant is exposed to a pathogen. After a plant has become diseased by an infecting pathogen, applying the correct type of fungicide may stop the spread of the disease or even put it into remission, but the plant will stay diseased.

How long does fungicide need to be on before rain? Apply contact products 24 hours before a rain if possible. As the information above suggests, an application of a protectant even 8 hours before a rain may be effective.

What is the interval for fungicide? Most protectant fungicides are good for about seven to 14 days of protection, and systemic fungicides for seven to 21 days depending on the product, the rate applied, weather conditions, and disease pressure.

How many times should I spray baking soda on my plants? Apply the spray one time each week on a cloudy or overcast day to avoid plant burning. Spot-treat a few leaves as a test before widespread use. Another preventative option is a spray made with four teaspoons of baking soda in one gallon of water. Apply regularly to prevent disease onset.
