Potatoes are sprayed against late blight when the foliage in the row has not yet closed into a continuous carpet. The onion is sprayed when its feather has grown 10 cm in height. If the manifestation of the disease is detected earlier and the leaves turn gray, the plant begins to be treated earlier.

The grapes must be treated before they begin to bloom. Its foliage should be completely formed by this time.
