Gardeners: Precise Dosing Key to Protecting Plants Without Damage

Gardeners are being reminded to take care when using treatments to protect their plants. Incorrect dosing can lead to damage, while precise measurement ensures effective protection without harm.

Overdosing or underdosing garden treatments can have serious consequences. Too much can cause plant burns, reduce yield, and too little won't destroy pests and diseases. To avoid this, accurate dosing is crucial.

For powders and granules, electronic or digital kitchen scales are recommended. These should have a precision level of 0.1 to 1 gram for accurate dosing. If scales aren't available, household items can be used, with a simple measurement table provided. Liquid preparations can be measured using containers or syringes with markings.

It's also important to mix preparations correctly to avoid unwanted chemical reactions that can harm plants and reduce treatment effectiveness. Weather conditions should be considered, with treatments done in calm weather in the morning or evening.

Precise measurement and proper mixing are key to effective and safe garden treatment. Using the right tools and considering weather conditions will ensure plants are protected without causing damage.
