Succulents are deeply loved by flower enthusiasts for their unique shapes and easy maintenance. In the process of maintenance, using Dakugin as a fungicide is a common practice. Some flower friends often spray too much Dakugin due to improper operation, which has a negative impact on the growth of succulents. This article will discuss the issue of excessive spraying of Dakugin on succulents, analyzing its causes, effects, and countermeasures.
Reasons for excessive spraying of Dakugin on succulents1. Unfamiliarity with the use of Dakugin: Many flower friends do not have a good understanding of the use concentration and spraying method of Dakugin, resulting in excessive use during spraying.
2. Operation failure: During the spraying process, due to improper operation, such as too close distance between the nozzle and the plant, or too long spraying time, resulting in excessive residue of Dakugin on succulents.
3. Ignoring the weather forecast: After spraying Dakugin, if the weather suddenly turns cold or rainy, Dakugin is prone to form crystals on the surface of succulents, increasing the amount of spraying.
Harm caused by excessive spraying of Dakugin on succulents1. Affecting photosynthesis: Dakugin forms a thin film on the surface of succulents, obstructing sunlight and affecting the plant's photosynthesis.
2. Destroying leaf structure: Excessive spraying of Dakugin may cause leaf cells to be damaged, thus affecting the normal growth of leaves.
3. Causing phytotoxicity: Excessive spraying of Dakugin may cause phytotoxicity in succulents, manifested as yellowing, withering, or even death of leaves.
Measures to deal with excessive spraying of Dakugin on succulents1. Moderate use: Operate according to the recommended concentration and spraying method of Dakugin to avoid excessive spraying.
2. Timely spraying: Choose a sunny and windless day for spraying, avoid spraying in high temperature and humidity environments, and reduce the residue of Dakugin on the plant surface.
3. Timely cleaning: After spraying Dakugin, if there is any residue found on the surface of succulents, rinse it off with clean water in time.
4. Using alternative methods: During the growth of succulents, you can try to use other fungicides, such as Mancozeb, Metalaxyl, etc., to reduce the frequency of Dakugin use.
Excessive spraying of Dakugin can have an adverse effect on the growth of plants. Understanding the use method of Dakugin and mastering the correct spraying skills are the key to ensuring the healthy growth of succulents. It is hoped that this article can provide useful references for flower enthusiasts.
