What Is Fungus?

Fungus is a type of plant that does not require sunlight to survive. Fungi are all around us and are very common in nature. There are approximately 100,000 known species of fungi, which also include molds, yeasts and mushrooms. The word fungus comes from the Latin word fungus meaning “sponge” or “mushroom.”

Fungi are microorganisms that can be found in soil, water and air as well as on dead organic matter (they break down leaves). They have the ability to grow on different substrates like living or dead plants and animals; however they cannot photosynthesize like plants because they do not have chlorophyll (the pigment responsible for trapping light energy from sunlight).

What Are Fungicides?

Fungicides are chemicals that kill fungi or stop them from growing. They can be used to control diseases caused by fungi, such as powdery mildew and rust on plants, or athlete’s foot and jock itch on humans.

Fungicides are often applied to crops like wheat or corn at the time of planting in order to prevent fungal spores from infecting the plant’s roots. When you buy a commercial fungicide at your local hardware store, it is likely to be labeled for use against a specific type of fungus (for example “rust” or “powdery mildew”).

Homemade Fungicide Recipes

Fungicides are chemicals that can kill or suppress fungal growth. They contain ingredients, like copper sulphate and potassium bicarbonate, that are toxic to the fungus. Fungicides can be used to control fungus on plants by preventing it from multiplying and spreading in your garden.

They work by interrupting the life cycle of fungi so they cannot reproduce themselves, blocking their access to nutrients needed for survival and ultimately killing them off completely.

How To Make A Basic Homemade Fungicide For Plants

Mix the 2-3 tablespoons of dish soap in 1 gallon of water.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the mixture.

Mix until blended. You can then spray this onto your plants, or store it for later use by storing in a spray bottle or mister.

Homemade Soap Spray Recipe

The first step in making a natural fungicide for your plants is to add water to a spray bottle.

Then, add about 1 teaspoon of any natural soap (like Dr. Bronner’s Castile Liquid Soap) and mix well with the water until it’s fully dissolved.

Spray directly onto any infected areas of your plants—you can even use this concoction as an all-purpose cleaner for your home or garden tools!

Best Essential Oils And Herbs For Natural Fungicides

The essential oils and herbs you will use for your natural fungicides are:

• Clove Oil
• Clove Bud Extract
• Wintergreen Oil (Gaultheria Procumbens)
• Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia)
• Thyme Oil
• Neem Oil
• Oregano Essential Oils
• Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oils

Lavender Essential Oils and Extra Virgin Olive Oil for topical application can also help treat fungal infections on plants. You can add soap, garlic juice or cayenne pepper to your spray as well. Molasses is a great addition to help prevent root rot in plants like tomatoes or peppers.

How To Use Essential Oils And Other Herbs In A Homemade Fungicide For Plants

• Essential oils can be added to the basic recipe. Lavender, rosemary, tea tree and clove oil are all good choices.
• Other plants that can be used to make fungicides include neem (a tropical tree known for its ability to repel insects), garlic, thyme, basil and peppermint.

There are safe and easy ways to make a natural fungicide for plants.

If you’re looking for a safe and easy way to make a fungicide, there are some options available.

It’s best to use a natural fungicide when possible because it’s safer for you and your plants.

The first option is to spray the leaves of your plants with water and baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. You can also add about half an ounce of rubbing alcohol or vinegar into two cups of water, then spray this mixture on the leaves as well. This combination works well because it kills fungus by damaging its cell wall, which prevents it from reproducing itself.
