Greenhouses should be processed in autumn. All those who grew tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, salads and other crops are preparing for this. During the season, a lot of bacteria and infections, fungal diseases accumulate in the greenhouse, so it is necessary to disinfect after harvesting the last crop. But there is one nuance here.

Sulfur checkers for greenhouses

After harvesting and removing plants, wash the greenhouse. Next, a sulfur checker is used for disinfection.

It turns out that it is not suitable for all types of greenhouses. If its construction is made of metal, the sulfuric acid released with the smoke will corrode the metal. Corrosion will not make itself wait. Instead of disinfection, you will have to make repairs over time.

Is it possible to replace it with a tobacco checker

Experts say that the replacement will not be complete. The thing is that it works only on pests. Tobacco checker does not work on powdery mildew, phytophthora in any way. In this case, checkers with other active ingredients should be used. You can also simply wash the greenhouse thoroughly with special disinfectants. It is easiest to use bleach with water.
