How to protect cabbage from caterpillars: experienced gardeners shared proven methods

If you don’t take care of pest control, you can lose your entire cabbage crop.

Experienced gardeners know that caterpillars are a very dangerous "competitor".

These pests are capable of "dealing with" cabbage plantings in a short period of time. Therefore, it is worth taking the necessary measures. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist, advises paying attention to regular spraying with a special composition.

What options can you pay attention to?

Salt

A very simple and affordable remedy is salt. It is safe for cabbage, but when spraying, you should make sure that the solution does not get into the soil, since salt will not have the best effect on the yield.

You will need to dissolve two spoons of salt in a bucket of water.

Ammonia

This remedy has proven itself to be excellent, as it is not only an excellent method for getting rid of caterpillars, but will also become a very effective fertilizer.

To spray, you need to dilute 50 ml of ammonia in a bucket of water.

Vinegar

This method is also effective. To prepare the solution, mix 200 ml of vinegar with 10 liters of water.

The products should be used once every two weeks. You can use only one of the suggested recipes. Some summer residents try to combine them.
