According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , not only garden and horticultural crops, but even ornamental plants are at risk.

According to many gardeners, there is no more effective remedy against this parasite than ammonia.

This treatment will not only help to cope with the pest, but will also saturate the plantings with nitrogen.

Important: you can use ammonia to control aphids in early spring and early summer.

The day when you decide to go on the warpath with the pest should be cloudy, dry and windless. In extreme cases, go to the beds at nightfall.
