Many gardeners are familiar with the practice of using aspirin in water to prolong the life of cut flowers. However, recent research reveals that aspirin can do much more than keeping blooms fresh – it can also significantly enhance the growth and resilience of vegetable plants.
A study conducted by the University of Rhode Island showcased the remarkable effects of aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, on vegetable crops. Researchers dissolved four aspirin tablets in four liters of water and applied the solution to a group of vegetable plants every three weeks throughout the growing season. By the end of the study, the aspirin-treated vegetables exhibited notable improvements in growth and strength, along with increased resistance to common pests and diseases.
This treatment proved particularly effective for solanaceous vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, which are prone to fungal infections and other pathogens.
