Why should you not water before and after drenching the roots with fungicide? Here are the reasons.
Before drenching the roots with fungicide, you should not water. First, because the root disease of the crop has already occurred; if you water, the pathogens will spread with the flowing water, causing more dead plants. Second, because watering easily leads to reduced soil aeration, root oxygen deficiency, root rot, and lower stress resistance, making it easier for pathogens to infect the plants. In addition, if you water before drenching the roots, the solution will have more difficulty seeping down, and using too much pesticide can also easily make soil aeration worse, readily causing root rot in crops and worsening the dead-plant problem, so you should not water before drenching the roots.
After drenching the roots with fungicide, you should not water immediately. Watering immediately after drenching the roots will quickly dilute the solution in the soil and reduce the fungicidal and disease-prevention effect. Therefore, try not to water for several days after using fungicide to drench the roots.
After using fungicide to drench the roots, if the crop shows symptoms of phytotoxicity such as wilting, yellowing, or stunted growth, you can water as a remedy to avoid greater losses.
Remedial measures: First, water once quickly to dilute the concentration of the solution in the soil; second, promptly spray and drench the roots with a rooting agent or Aiduoshou or Yunda 120, which helps alleviate phytotoxicity and restore plant vigor.
