Every gardener has to come face to face with the Colorado potato beetle every season.

According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the pest is dangerous because it has the ability to reproduce quickly, destroys large volumes of various crops and, in addition, easily adapts to various chemicals.

Instead of watching the destructive activity of the parasite, experienced gardeners try more and more new ways to combat it.

And it seems that an effective remedy for the Colorado potato beetle has been found – these are biopreparations.

These products contain pathogenic organisms and bacteria that are deadly to the striped pest.

At the same time, they are not capable of harming the environment in any way, so you should not worry that the compositions can harm your crops or health.

So, the most effective ones were considered to be “Agravertin”, “Fitoverm”, “Boverin”, “Entocid” and “Bitoxibacillin”.

For those who are new to plant growing, it is worth remembering that all of the listed preparations should be used for processing only when the temperature does not drop below +10 degrees.
