Great question. You’re asking:
What is the normal recommended dosage of Gomutra Ark for spinach, and what happens if we exceed it?
Here’s a clear technical + practical explanation:
✅ Normal Recommended Usage of Gomutra Ark for Spinach (Palak):
Parameter | Recommendation |
---|---|
Dilution ratio | 1:10 (1 Litre Gomutra Ark + 10 Litres water) |
Spray frequency | Once every 7–10 days |
Best time to spray | Early morning (before 9 AM) or after 4 PM |
Growth stage | From 10–12 days after sowing till harvest |
✅ For a regular disease prevention program, this schedule is ideal.
⚠️ If Overused – What Happens?
If you spray too concentrated Gomutra Ark or too frequently, you might face these negative effects:
1. Leaf Burn / Leaf Curling
- If the dilution is too strong (like 1:2 or undiluted), high alkalinity can damage spinach leaves, especially young ones.
- This results in brown or yellow tips, curling, or spots.
2. Bad Odor Residue on Leaves
- If sprayed just before harvest or too heavily, spinach may retain Gomutra smell, affecting taste and market acceptability.
3. Photosynthesis Interference
- Excess spraying may form a sticky film on leaf surfaces, blocking stomata → slows down plant breathing and photosynthesis.
4. Beneficial Microbial Imbalance
- In excess, even natural substances can disturb the microbial balance on leaf surfaces or soil if the soil is already healthy.
✅ Safe Usage Tips:
- Always filter Gomutra Ark well before spraying (cloth or mesh filter).
- Avoid spraying just before harvesting. Leave at least 2 days gap.
- Stick to once in 7–10 days unless there’s a visible infection.
- For sensitive young spinach leaves, test spray on a few plants first.
🔁 Summary:
Case | Effect |
---|---|
Proper dilution & timing | Prevents fungal disease naturally |
Too frequent / undiluted | Leaf burn, smell, photosynthesis issues |
