How To Grow Tomatoes From Seed In Hydroponic System With Ease For Beginners

Planting tomatoes using hydroponics system you can try at home, especially for those of you who live in urban areas and have a narrow piece of land. As the needs of the household then grow hydroponic tomatoes could be a solution for those of you who have limited land. How to grow tomatoes hydroponically is actually not as difficult as you think, if it's still the learning stage I thought it was a natural thing, but with the more frequent you try then it is possible you can master the cultivation of plants with hydroponics system, at the stage of learning the most important thing you can know the basic hydroponic plant cultivation or hydroponic growing tips, and of course the most important and the main capital for you is a strong will and passion to keep trying or practice it, learn from mistakes until you really get to master the science of plant cultivation using hydroponics system. One of them is that you can quickly master the knowledge about how to grow tomatoes from seed with using hydroponic systems.

Planting tomatoes hydroponically in general you can try with a variety of hydroponic techniques, but this time I will give you tips that are more flexible, easier, and cheaper to use, especially for those of you who are just learning or are interested in growing vegetables hydroponically. Planting techniques with using hydroponic system especially tomato plants on this occasion is to use the technique to grow plants hydroponically using wick system, why I chose this technique because this technique can be easily practiced by you who are are new to know grow plants with hydroponic systems, and of course cost you spend on hydroponic techniques with wick system is inexpensive. For how to create a hydroponic system is simple by using wick system, the first step is you can prepare materials to be used, for material that we will use customized types of plants that you will plant, on this occasion is a tomato plant, so to make a hydroponic system is simple with using wick system, for equipment and materials required as follows:

 

Tools and materials

• Buckets/pot with a diameter of at least 25 cm.
• Small pots in diameter of 8-10 cm. 
• Styrofoam (if any styrofoam waste that can still be used and be able to close the bucket, then you could use, if you want to buy, you can buy a little thick, because it is used to prop up small pots and plants).
• Flannel.
• Knife or scissors (for making holes in the bottom of the pot is small, this hole is used to enter flannel).

How to make a simple hydroponic system using wick

• Cut sheets of styrofoam in the size of the hole the top bucket / pot.
• Once you make the size of the styrofoam, then you can make a hole in the Styrofoam in a central position to support small-sized pots (pot plant).
• Once ready, the next step you create a hole striped two sides in pot planting, input flannel on planting pot holes, for mounting you can see in the image.
• After the above steps you've done all and ready, then you can put the pot on styrofoam hole, and then put the styrofoam on bucket / pot.
• Simple hydroponic system with wick system is already finished and you can use.

 

Once the hydroponic wick system already finished you created, then you also have to prepare the material that you will use to grow tomatoes hydroponically, for the materials you need to prepare, among others :

• Tomato seeds
• Planting medium (a mixture of humus soil, rice husk, gravel bricks, gravel zeolite, if there cocopeat can you put into the planting medium, if you are still confused, you can ask it to me in the comments field).
• Rockwool.
• Seedling tray
• Nutrients hydroponics (AB mix or organic nutrients for hydroponic plants) you can buy at the farm shop that sells hydroponic plants need, if you are confused to find where you can try to buy hydroponic nutrients on amazon.com.
• Raw water
• Chemical pesticides can be organic or customized to your taste (this is necessary to guard your plant pests and diseases of tomato plants).

When you grow tomatoes surely you must know the nutritional needs of tomato plants, is done so that you can make the dose of nutrients hydroponic or nutritional AB mix appropriately and give according to the growth phase tomato plants, and you should remember that tomato plants has 2 growth phases including the vegetative phase and generative phase, on to the 2 phase of the growth of tomato plants require different nutrients, if on vegetative phase tomato plants require more nutrients to the solution A, then when the crop enters the generative phase of his nutritional needs will reversed ie require more nutrients on packaged or nutrient solution B, for plants tomato nutritional needs are 1400-3500 PPM and pH 6-6.5.

After you create a simple hydroponics and know the nutritional needs of PPM and pH for tomato plants, then it's time to plant them. Okay we just discuss how to grow hydroponic tomatoes, how to grow tomatoes from seed in hydroponics system includes a tomato nursery, planting tomatoes, tomato care, and harvesting tomatoes.

Tomatoes seedlings

• Cut rockwool with seedling tray size then input roockwool already cut one by one on seedling tray hole, and do not forget to water the seedling media, and do not forget to make a hole in the middle for the seed placement.
• Once ready, then you can open up the seed that you have purchased and then enter on hole rockwool 1/1 seed that you have prepared.
• Once done you can put on a dark place or it could be by covering with baking pan, and do not forget the humidity is maintained seedling media.
• After 3-7 days usually start to germinate and grow, after growing you can put in a place exposed to the sun but not directly, you can put in place above it the lid.
• If the seed already has at least 3 leaves, you can actually transplanting, the most important thing you can keep from the sun directly, because the seeds are still small.

While you are waiting or have already seen that the tomato seedlings are ready to be planted then you can prepare the planting medium tomatoes hydroponically, please you can mix a planting medium that you have prepared as described above, and should be remembered for determining the amount of water in the bucket not too much, you can give 2/3 of the volume of the bucket you use, and always give room for the oxygen needs of the plant.

Planting hydroponic tomatoes
After the seedlings and planting media are ready, the next step you should do is certainly grow hydroponic tomatoes, during transplanting tomato seedlings you can move with caution or reduce damage to the roots of tomato seedlings, it is intended that the seeds do not experience prolonged stress. After the seedlings are planted then the next step is a hydroponic tomato plant care.

Hydroponic tomato plant care
Care you have to do is control the nutrients in the water media you use or the addition of a nutrient solution, this was done due to environmental influences such as temperature and evaporation also contribute to reduction in water media and nutrients are reduced because absorbed by the plant, for the provision of additional nutrients you can count measuring as I described above. And you should remember that the growth phase tomato plants that have 2, so the needs of hydroponic nutrients that you provide must correspond with plant growth phases.

In addition to controlling the nutrients tomato plants you also do not forget to control plants from pests and diseases tomato plants, if you grow in small amounts and find pests such as mealybugs, trhips or pests that are visible to you, it can be controlled manually by taking pests you find.

Harvesting tomato plants hydroponically
Harvest tomato plants hydroponically can do if tomatoes have changed color or tomatoes turn red, while age of the harvest tomato plants in the range of 65 days after planting (transplanting), age harvest tomato plants well adapted to the seed you use, for more details you can read the information that you buy seed packs. After harvesting, the tomatoes you can store in the refrigerator or you can directly process into cooking.

What do you think.? Too long article on how to grow tomatoes from seed in hydroponics system that I wrote.? Hehehe sorry if it is too long, because I only aim to provide you with more detailed information, especially for those who are new and want to plant crops with hydroponics systems, how.? the cost is very cheap right.?, the most important thing easily understood by the reader. Okay, maybe that's all I can give to you hopefully useful articles on how to grow tomatoes from seed in hydroponic systems, and do not forget to share tips on how to grow tomatoes from seed in hydroponics systems be easily as I write this, so many people who know how to grow hydroponics tomatoes. I also once tried to grow melons using wick system, you can see on the video below. and do not forget to leave your comments about the video.

Buying DWC Hydroponics System

DWC hydroponics system (Deep Water Culture Hydroponics System) is one method that is used in gardening using hydroponics system, deep water culture is actually just a variation of an existing type in the hydroponic system is commonly called the water system culture. The difference between the water culture with deep water culture lies only in the use of water volume, the water culture water use only at a depth of 4-6 inches, while the depth of deep water culture water used at the bucket deeper is at least 8 inches. Before you are interested in using hydroponics systems this one, you should know the working system DWC hydroponics.

How DWC Hydroponics System Work?
One of the factors that is most attractive if you use DWC hydroponics system is its simplicity. We all know that the plant roots also need oxygen, so if you grow plants using DWC hydroponics, then allow the roots can get enough oxygen, and by getting the oxygen provided by the plant on a large scale, it can increase the uptake of nutrients for plants, and of course this will create better plant growth.

Buying DWC Hydroponic on Amazon

Hydroponic Planting Tips and Best Purchase Hydroponic Growing System

Planting plants in the hydroponic system is currently very popular is done by the people, especially those living in urban or suburban, with the lack of land they have, and as the activities of the hobby gardening, so many people are interested in growing plants with hydroponics system, especially for growing vegetables in hydroponics, or it could be to grow fruit and growing ornamental plants in the hydroponic system. Planting with hydroponics system was not just a hobby in growing crops, if you can arrange landscaping your backyard or garden properly, then with hydroponic plants that you have can be a beautiful garden landscape scenery when you see it. If you are interested in growing plants in the hydroponic system, but you are still confused and have a basic question about hydroponics system, such as:

How to know hydroponic system equipment.?

How to growing tips hydroponic system.?
Where best purchase hydroponic system equipment.?

Questions like these are very commonly asked by those who are just getting started planting with hydroponics system, from basic questions in the plants cultivation in hydroponic system, then I'll try to help you answer questions such as the above. In the hydroponic cultivation system there are things you need to prepare before starting grow crops with hydroponic systems, the following hydroponic system tools kit you can set up and once answered the question how to know hydroponic system equipment.

Hydroponics system equipment
By the time you will plant crops with hydroponics system, then you must be in need of basic equipment to be used so that your plants will can grow well, including :

Places to grow plants
Place to grow plants that you can use, among others, plants tubs, pots, or ponds. By the time you plant crops using hydroponics system you try to maintain the cleanliness of growing media on an ongoing basis, you can maintain the cleanliness of plants in a way to clean or remove other plants that you do not want, especially on beds or pool float. some hydroponic grow system kit model that you can make like the one in the photo, if you are interested to buy it, you can simply visit the link below the photo, and you can choose way you want.

Hydroponic Aerators
Aerator serves as a carrier of oxygen and as a tool for the exchange of oxygen around the plant roots in the hydroponic system, however, plants that you plant in the hydroponic system require oxygen to grow and develop, because if your plant is deprived of oxygen, it can result in the absorption of nutrients in plants you become disturbed, and this will greatly affect the growth of your plants.

Buying hydroponic pump on amazon

Hydroponics plant nutrients
Nutrition is one of the plants makes no essential for plant growth and quality of hydroponic crops, so you should be able to set the exact nutritional needs in terms of quantity, ion composition, and temperature. Nutrients hydroponic plants or fertilizer hydroponics is divided into two parts, namely macro nutrients and micro nutrients, macro nutrients such as (N, P, K, C, H, O, S, Ca, and Mg), while micro nutrients (Cl , B, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Mo).

EC meter or TDS meter
You can choose any one of such measuring instruments, what this measure is important.? These tools are very important and necessary if you want to plant crops with hydroponics system, because in general the quality of the nutrient solution that you give can be determined by measuring Electrical conductivity (EC), the higher the concentration of nutrient solution you provide, the higher the electric current is delivered (because the thick salt and ion accumulation affects the ability to conduct electricity the nutrient solution). For nutrient solution you can make your own by concocting special hydroponic fertilizer for hydroponic crops and dissolves or you can purchase a commercial hydroponic fertilizer that can direct you provide.

pH meter
such as EC meter or TDS meter, pH meter is also needed when planting hydroponics, the function of the use of pH meter is to control the pH found in the growing media hydroponics, and you should know also that the temperature of the water must often do you control to be maintained on certain conditions for optimization of hydroponic plant you have. Temperatures that are too low and too high in a nutrient solution can lead to reduced capacity in water and ion absorption of nutrients in plants, vegetable crops optimal temperatures between 5-15 degrees C and fruit trees between 15-25 degrees C. Some vegetables and fruit plants need you hold, because there are plants that have a certain level of pH and EC for optimal growth.

DO meter
This tool is used to measure oxygen dissolved in water hydroponic media. So in addition to the basic equipment for the plant, the hydroponic system also need a measuring tool that I can say quite complete. but you can buy 1 measuring tool that has the ability to measure 3 at once. if interested to buy hydroponic measuring tool, you can visit the link below this photo, and please choose hydroponic measuring tool that you will buy.

Hydroponics system tools the main requirements that you must have if you are interested in the plant cultivation using hydroponics system, if the equipment is to prepare, then you have to know the other important points, such as you must know tips to hydroponic growing system, I will explain a little about simple tips hydroponics plant, and hopefully can be the answer to your question about how to plant tips hydroponic systems, the following is a short review.

Growing Tips Hydroponics System 

Needs light
Outline plants would need light for life processes, so when you set up a place in your home for hydroponics you should be able to put on a location that can receive sunlight such as you outdoors gardening, and if you want to put on indoor gardening, then you should prepare a needs light, you can add lights to your hydroponic plants, if you want to buy a indoor gardening tool, you can read more tips in my article about reason why using indoor gardening. As for nutrition hydroponics does not need light, nutrients hydroponics is best stored in a place that has air cool, dark and not exposed to light directly and sun, this is done to avoid temperatures that are too high and the emergence of growth alleyways or algae on the system hydroponic you have. Algae does not directly harm your plants, but can reduce the absorption of minerals is given of a nutrient solution by plants and can cause nutritional pH value up or down from the optimum range.

Water
His name is also hydroponics, of course, the water needs in the hydroponic system is very important to and become one of the ingredients that are supposed to provide. So that you can successfully grow with hydroponics system, then start by using good water, do not use the raw water or water containing chlorine or other substances (pollutants) to mix the nutrients you are giving. Just a tip just for you, rainwater usually have good quality with EC / PPM is low, but you have to make sure before use, the use of rain water can be filtered first, because it feared a lot of dirt from the roof / tiles are brought into the shelter. To determine the quality of the raw water, you can use the measuring instrument EC meter or TDS meter as a tool for testing the quality of raw water test. For additional information, if you do not find water which is good enough, then you can be sure the raw water to be used does not exceed 150 PPM.

Air/Oxygen/CO2
Besides light and water, plants also need a good air for growth, air (CO2 and oxygen) is needed in approximately the leaves for photosynthesis plants, and oxygen is also required on around the plant roots. If you plant in the hydroponic system using a greenhouse, then you should make sure air circulation in good condition, if a greenhouse that you have not yet had a ventilation duct, then you can make a good ventilation and adequate as a place to turn the air in the greenhouse that you have, if you want to buy a greenhouse, you can read more tips in my article about buying tips greenhouse. Aside from existing air around the plant, you can provide oxygen delivery through aeration hydroponic nutrient solution you provide, so that in the solution will get enough dissolved oxygen to support healthy growth of plant roots. dissolved oxygen in the hydroponic nutrient levels can you monitor using a measuring instrument such as DO meter. Try to maintain the levels that exist in the dissolved oxygen above 6ppm more, actually a lot of ways you can do for supplying oxygen to the nutrient solution, one using the air pump + air stones are commonly used for the needs of pools aquarium or by way of circulation of nutrients.

Minerals and nutrients / fertilizer
This is the most important, you should always use hydroponic nutrients, make sure not to use fertilizers are commonly used for plant that grown on land, you can buy common nutrients for hydroponic method, find qualified of hydroponics nutrients suppliers. If you want to make or mix their own hydroponic nutrients, look for the main ingredients are good with mineral salts that have a good quality "agricultural class".

Buying hydroponic nutrients and fertilizer on amazon

Right temperature
You should know that the optimal temperature on the environment and temperatures that exist in the nutrient solution will be different for each type of plant that you grow, but that the plant will require a temperature of nutrient solution hydroponic above 18/20 degrees C and below 28 degrees C, a sufficiently high temperature in the nutrient solution can lead to decreased levels of dissolved even be unavailable if the solution temperature is hot enough. The high temperature in the nutrient solution significantly inhibit the growth of your plants, high temperatures can also affect a faster growth such as in certain plants become bolting (premature aging of the plants), besides plant growth is not good, high temperatures can also make the flavor of the vegetables become bitter.

pH 

pH adjustment is very important if you grow with hydroponics system, if you provide the nutrients pH is too high or low of the optimum range, it will make specific nutrients in nutrition will become unavailable to plants. the best pH for each type of plant varies, but a good range for most hydroponic crops is 5.8 to 6.2.

After you know the hydroponic system equipment, and you are begin to know growing tips hydroponic system, then I'll try to answer the latter question is where best purchase hydroponic system equipment. That you should consider is whether you will create your own hydroponic system in your home or buy a set of hydroponic systems (especially for those of you who have a very busy time). If you want to create your own then you just need to buy parts of the equipment it, and for those who have a busy time you can buy one device hydroponic system that you can immediately use, recommendation of hydroponic systems supplier from me is the options below, if you do not find suitable then you can write the keyword you are looking for, and hopefully be able to answer the last question, and you can get hydroponic system equipment you want.

besides gardening using hydroponics system, you can also gardening outdoors, such as gardening by using a garden greenhouse or gardening by using the raised garden bed. the advantages of gardening with hydroponics system with the placement outside the home, then the plant can get more sunlight. In the context of to get the best results from growing with hydroponics method, we all need to learn techniques and good management practices of some of the above, the more you master the knowledge of growing with hydroponics system, then you do not have to worry about the lack of land or places you have.

Okay, maybe that's all the information from me what I can tell about tips to grow hydroponic systems and tips on buying equipment hydroponic systems, hopefully the information that I have given can be useful for you who are already willing to read my writing this brief, and hopefully can help you that want to grow plants with hydroponics system. And lastly, if my article for interesting and useful, you can make reference to the source link writing of this article, or you can share this article to a relative, friend, or neighbor who intend to grow hydroponically. And I'll see you in my next article, and you can also provide a reference for me about gardening equipment that can I review by sending an e-mail to me at kharismaalfajri@gmail.com. And thank you for everything.

How To Choose And Buying Tips The Best Fertilizer For Crops

Fertilization is one activity that you should do when planting crops, because each plant which you plant will require nutrients to grow and produce, besides pest and disease control, fertilization can also cause your plants do not grow properly and lower production yields. At fertilization there are some things you should consider in selecting and determining the correct fertilizer for crops, because with your right to choose and use a fertilizer for your plants, then the plants can grow well and can improve the yield and quality of your crop production. The following things you can consider include:

Fertilizer type to be used
In general, you can use fertilizer that consists of 3 types of fertilizers, namely organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers, and biological fertilizers, the fertilizer has its own role that you can customize with plants that you have planted. For more details, here's a little me explain the role of each fertilizer you will use.

1. Organic fertilizer
As it I explained in my article on how to choose the best organic fertilizer for crops, organic fertilizers are divided into two types, namely organic fertilizer granules (solid), and liquid organic fertilizer. In use, you can use organic fertilizer at the time of tilling the soil or growing media and you can give as a supplementary fertilizer. Organic fertilizers can also be given to all crops, because in addition to plant nutrients, organic fertilizer can also keep the soil or growing media remain healthy and fertile. Organic fertilizer nutrients have very little percentage, but has the ability to release nutrients slowly and continuously. I recommend organic fertilizer you must do when planting crops.

Buying organic fertilizer on amazon

2. Chemical fertilizers
In contrast to organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers have a percentage higher nutrients than organic fertilizers, the percentage of the nutrients found in chemical fertilizers has many kinds, so you can adjust to the plant growth you, for more details, I will review after discussing the type of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizer that you can use are divided into 2 types of fertilizers, including chemical fertilizers used on soil and chemical fertilizers are used or sprayed on crops or commonly known as foliar fertilizer (leaf fertilizer). The use of chemical fertilizers are used on land you can do with 3 ways, among others:

• Spread over the area of land, this way you can do manually and mechanically, if you want to use mechanical means, then you need a tool that is commonly known as spreader fertilizer, if you want to buy the fertilizer spreader, then you could be visiting the best purchase fertilizer spreader on amazon. 
• Placed on the hole, the point is you make a hole in advance in the area of plant roots, after you make a hole and then you put fertilizer in the hole that you have created and then you close the hole with soil, cover the hole with soil carried out and aimed so fertilizer you give can be absorbed optimally and reduce nutrients wasted due to evaporation.
• Dissolved then poured, this method is more effective in the absorption of plant nutrients, but adapted to the environmental conditions, if the conditions are wet environment (lots of rain) then the less effective way, whereas if the environmental conditions experienced summer, so this way will be more effectively used , because it reduces the nutrient fertilizer is wasted due to evaporation, and this way you give fertilizer can be directly absorbed by the plant.

Next up is the use of foliar fertilizer (leaf fertilizer), foliar fertilizer (leaf fertilizer) are also 2 types that you can choose to be purchased, including liquid foliar fertilizer and foliar fertilizer in the form of powder. Foliar fertilizer liquid you can immediately use, because it provided a lot of foliar fertilizer on the market that you can buy and immediately use, whereas foliar fertilizer powder, if you want to use it then you have to dissolve in water before you spray, to the concentration you can see the rules the use of existing packages containing foliar fertilizer.

Buying chemical fertilizer on amazon

3. Biofertilizer
Biological fertilizer is fertilizer that is alive, because in addition to containing a biological fertilizer plant nutrients also contain live microorganisms which is very good for the plants, biological fertilizers is very well used during the process of plant growth, in particular the use of the land damaged or infertile. and I suggest this type of fertilizer to use, because it will be a lot of benefits you can get, one of which could reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

Choosing tips the fertilizer types

• If you just planted a few plants, I suggest using organic fertilizers and biological fertilizers. The most important thing you can give nutrients in a sustainable manner. 
• If you plant crops on vast land, I suggest using all kinds of fertilizers, because by using all types of fertilizers are expected to crop yields that you will get can be increased, and can keep your soil healthy and remain fertile.
• If you have any questions, you can ask in the comments field that has been provided, hopefully I can help to answer.

Note:
if you wish to not use chemical fertilizers, I recommend if ground conditions you are less fertile or land damaged and unhealthy, I suggest to keep using chemical fertilizers then you can begin to reduce until you do not use chemical fertilizers, the way that you can do is always reduces the use of chemical fertilizer in each new planting season, and increased use of organic fertilizers and biological fertilizers.

How to choose the right fertilizer
an outline of the growth phase of plants are known to have 2 times, including the period of vegetative and generative period. An easy way to know the growth phase in between.

Vegetative phase
That need to remembered by you, that each plant has a different age, so simply in determining the vegetative phase is a plant that focus on the growth of new shoots, roots, and stems, of course, not yet entered a period of flowering and fruiting. In the vegetative phase of the plant will require plant nutrients with the content N (nitrogen) with a high concentration P content with the amount of slightly to moderate, the content of K bit, content of S is slightly to moderate, and the content of micro-nutrients slightly, needs element micro-nutrients can be set with organic fertilizer when tillage/planting media processing.

Generative phase
The simplest way to determine the generative phase is a plant that is entering a period of flowering and fruiting, during the generative plant will require nutrients with K high content of N, P, Ca, Mg medium, and slightly to moderate nutrient B, and still needs micro nutrients.

On a good fertilization you also have to consider the dose given to your plants, just a suggestion for you, before you do fertilization in particular the provision of chemical fertilizer you should already know the dose of fertilizer that can be given to your plants (SOP plant cultivation, which will be you planted ). With a good fertilization and correct, then the your plants can grow very well and healthy and can minimize the damage caused by pest attack.

Buying tips fertilizer is good and right

• For organic fertilizers and biological fertilizers you can use in all phases of your plants. 
• If you buy chemical fertilizer, then you must determine in advance the phase of your plants, whether you are in your plant vegetative phase or are in the generative phase. 
• There are 2 types chemical fertilizer that is sold with the content different nutrients, including single fertilizer and compound fertilizer. Single fertilizer is fertilizer that contains only 1 type of nutrition, for example fertilizer N, the N fertilizer nutrient content consists of only N elements alone. And to compound fertilizer is fertilizer that consists of several content of nutrients, for example, maybe you've heard of the NPK fertilizer, and so forth. At NPK compound fertilizer we can understand that the fertilizer contains nutrients N, P nutrients, and K nutrient. So please you can buy the fertilizer as you need.

Discussing about fertilizing are very many and very spacious, because I can not know the what kind of plant you're growing, then I just give you the basic information that you can apply on your plant fertilization. If you have questions, please ask me, hopefully I can help to answer your questions. And hopefully from this short article I can provide countless benefits to you who have read my writings, and can assist you in determining the best fertilizer for your plants.

Thus the information that I can give you about how to choose and buying tips fertilizer for the plants is good and right, hopefully what I provide can be useful for you, and if my article can helpful to others, please share the information from this article to friends, relatives, or your neighbors, especially the new gardening or farming. And if you're looking for fertilizer for your plants, following a recommendation from me that you can choose, and if it does not find a fertilizer that you want, then you can write the keywords that are being searched. And hopefully I can help after you find the best fertilizer for your plants. and if you need gardening tools, you can visit gardening tools kit and please you can search gardening equipment you want.

How To Choose And Determine Pesticides To Pests Control And Plant Diseases

One effort that can be done in increasing agricultural yields or gardening is controlling pests and plant diseases. Pests and diseases in plants is one reason why our plant productivity decreases, in the case of pests and diseases can lead to crop failure, here is where knowledge of farmers or planters in controlling pests and diseases in crops at stake, if the farmer or planters successfully maintain crops or when plants are attacked by pests and diseases could then control it, so when the farmer or grower wants crops that much more is not impossible they got.

In controlling pests and plant diseases outline is divided into 2 ways: manually and mechanically (using pesticides to control pests and plant diseases). Mechanical means it is suitable for those who grow a few plants in the yard, because it is easier in the monitoring and management directly, while those using pesticides to control pests and plant diseases are divided into 3 types of control, including control of pests and diseases using organic pesticides, pest and disease control using biological pesticides, and pest and disease control using chemical pesticides. Of all 3 types of pest and disease control plant that could be a consideration in determining and selecting which control will be selected and used by farmers and planters on the plants. In this article I will discuss about how to choose and determine pesticides to control pests and plant diseases. generally successful in controlling pests of plants and plant diseases in my experience is divided into 5 rules, among others:

Exact on target
Exact on target in this case is when you see a pest or disease that attacks the crop, then you need to quickly figure out the type of pests and plant diseases quickly, with you know the pests and diseases that attack the crop, then you can determine what type of pesticides what suitable for controlling pests and diseases that you find at your plants. For example, when you find insects on your plants then you can of insecticide, if your plant is attacked by mites, then you should choose acaricides, and if pests you find is a mouse then you can choose rodenticides, or when your plants to disease, the fungicide is the choice.

Buying insecticides on amazon

Exact the type
Once you know the type of pests or diseases that attack plants belong to you and you already know the type of pesticide that will be used, then the next step you can do is to choose the active ingredients you will use, for example when you find plant-sucking insects (thrips) then you can use insecticides, if you want to use chemical insecticides then you should select an insecticide containing the active ingredient imidacloprid, diafentiuron, or methomyl, whereas those of you who want to use organic insecticide, then you can use extracts of neem oil.

Exact dosage and concentration
Exact dose in question is the amount of pesticides you use in each unit area, while to the right concentration of the pesticide is the dose of pesticides should you dissolve in water every liter, and you should know well that the use of pesticides doses and excessive concentrations can lead to pest or diseases become resistant to pesticides that you give, so you have to be wise to use chemical pesticides.

 Buying fungicides on amazon

On time
Of the many the type pests of plants they will be more active after 9 am and began to settle again after 3 pm, so if you are spraying above 9am, could eventually lead to spraying is not effective, and as a suggestion, if you will do the spraying of pesticides more effective, then you can do the spraying in the morning before 9 am Maximum until 10 am, or late afternoon after 3 pm, and you should know there is also a the type pests that are active at night and at morning to evening pests was hiding in the nest or hideout, including pest caterpillars, so spraying when night is much more effective in controlling the pest caterpillars.

Exact how to use
Your success in controlling pests and plant diseases are also affected by the way the use of pesticides that you do, as knowledge for you and especially those who are new farming or gardening, the way the use of pesticides is influenced by 3 critical success factors controlling pests and diseases of plants using pesticides, these factors include:

1. Spray equipment
Spray equipment is composed of sprayer, nozzles and protective security to the user, the nozzle arrangement or arrangements best output of pesticide sprayer is the size of a grain released by sprayer, is a good size water droplets 100-150 microns in diameter, but if you do not have a measuring tool you can match the size of water droplets such as grain moisture. Average sprayer you should use a minimum pressure of 3 bar, and sprayer you use is not leaking.

2. Weather conditions
