Wireworm is a dangerous pest that especially loves potato crops.

Such parasites quite easily gnaw their passages in fruits, as a result such vegetables cannot be eaten or stored.

Experienced gardeners know that wireworms can be fought using folk methods.

Methods of pest control

First, you need to deprive the parasite of food. You need to remove the weeds from the area.

As soon as the beds are cleared, dolomite flour should be added to the area. This can be done in spring and autumn.

You can also use white mustard on the plot, which also helps in the fight against the pest. Thanks to this remedy, the soil becomes looser and unsuitable for wireworms.

If there are too many pests on the site, it is better to use chemicals, and only then pay attention to folk methods of control.
