Damping Off is a fungal disease that attacks seedlings causing them to suddenly wilt, keel over and die. Damping Off is a particular problem when sowing seed indoors or under glass.</p> <p>Damping Off can affect most seedlings, particularly under levels of high humidity, poor air circulation, low light and temperature that makes seedlings grow slowly and if seed is sown to thick.</p> <h2><strong>Preventing Damping Off</strong></h2> <p>* Raise seedlings in commercial growing compost, which is usually free of the key fungi.<br /> * Ideally, use new pots and trays whenever raising seedlings. If they must be re-used, wash them thoroughly and treat them with a disinfectant such as Jeyes Fluid.<br /> * Never reuse pots and trays in which damping off has been a problem.<br /> * Sow seedlings thinly to avoid crowding.<br /> * Use mains water when irrigating seedlings grown in pots and trays. If using rainwater, ensure that the water butt is covered to prevent the entry of leaves and other organic debris that could harbour some of the damping off fungi.<br /> * Keep seedlings well ventilated to reduce humidity. Do not over-water.</p> <h2><strong>Cheshunts Compound</strong></h2> <p>* Can be used on all seedlings whether edible or non-edible.<br /> * Easy to use, dilute and water the solution onto compost before sowing and repeat after the emergence of the seedlings.<br /> * For transplanting, water seedlings with the solution before and after the transplanting.<br /> * Suitable for organic <a title="gardening" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/gardening/">gardening</a>.<br /> * Cheshunts Compound uses inorganic salts copper sulphate and ammonium carbonate so it is the same type of copper-based fungicide as Bordeaux mixture.</p> <p><a style="text-align: left;" href="http://gardenerstips.co.uk/blog/gardening/pests-problems/damping-off-prevention-and-cure/<br%20></a>%20<p%20style=">Available</a><a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2283&awinaffid=81944&clickref=&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/product/kww2077/1.html"> from Thompson Morgan</a></p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_30240" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a30240" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a30240" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX30240X5X0XaXarticle_rater_30240Xarticle_loader_30240X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30240X4X0XaXarticle_rater_30240Xarticle_loader_30240X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30240X3X0XaXarticle_rater_30240Xarticle_loader_30240X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30240X2X0XaXarticle_rater_30240Xarticle_loader_30240X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30240X1X0XaXarticle_rater_30240Xarticle_loader_30240X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_30240" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a30240">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
