Antibiotics in raspberries

Raspberries are not only a tasty and healthy berry shrub, but also a valuable source of biologically active substances. Raspberries contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, folic acid, and other nutrients that help boost immunity, improve digestion, and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. However, like any crop, raspberries can be attacked by various pests and diseases that can reduce their yield and quality.
 
One of the ways to combat raspberry diseases is the use of antibiotics. Antibiotics are medicines that kill or slow the growth of bacteria. They are widely used in medicine to treat infections, but can also be effective in controlling plant diseases.
 
One of the most common raspberry diseases is anthracnose, a fungal infection that causes fruit rot and affects leaves and stems. The antibiotic streptomycin is often used to treat this disease. it can be applied both as a spray on leaves and stems and as a root treatment.
 
Another common raspberry disease is gray mold, a fungal infection that causes damage to fruits and leaves. To combat this disease, you can use the antibiotic tetracycline. It can also be applied as a spray or root treatment.
 
However, it should be remembered that the use of antibiotics in crop production should be limited and carried out only when necessary. The use of antibiotics can lead to the development of bacterial resistance to them, which complicates the treatment of infections in both plants and animals and humans.
 
In addition, the use of antibiotics can lead to the accumulation of residues of these drugs in raspberries, which can adversely affect human HEALTH when consuming the berries.
 
Therefore, before using antibiotics, it is necessary to assess the degree of damage to plants and analyze for the presence of antibiotic residues in fruits. In addition, it is necessary to observe safety rules when working with antibiotics and monitor compliance with the terms of treatment and dosage.
 
In general, antibiotics can be an effective treatment for raspberry disease, but their use should be limited and only done when needed. The best way to prevent disease is proper plant care, including regular watering, fertilizing, pruning and removing diseased plant parts.
