🌼 Essential Oil Guide – Which Oil Helps Against What?
- 🧄 Garlic oil → combats powdery mildew
- 🌿 Oregano oil → fights downy mildew & sooty mold
- 🌼 Tansy oil → supports against rust fungi
- 🌿 Thyme oil → effective against tomato blight
- 🌱 Savory oil → prevents leaf curl & balances downy mildew
💡 Alternative: Instead of essential oils, you can also use herbal extracts made from the original plants (e.g., tansy, oregano, savory).
🌞 Application Advice
➡️ Always spray in the late afternoon or evening to protect leaves from sunburn.
➡️ Use sparingly 🌿 – essential oils are biodegradable and much gentler than chemical pesticides, but still very effective when used wisely.
