How to Make a Homemade Aphid Remedy: Not a Single Aphid Will Be Left Behind
In an attempt to get rid of aphids that have infested their plots, summer residents use the most incredible folk methods.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the infusion of tomato tops is especially popular on this list.
The action of the product is based on the fact that tomato leaves contain alkaloids, which are toxic compounds.
They do not harm the environment or humans, but are deadly to parasites such as aphids.
By crushing the leaves, you promote the release of alkaloids, and by steeping the tops in water, you can get an effective remedy for pest control.
So, for 1-2 cups of tomato leaves, previously chopped, you will need 2 cups of water.
Leave the greens in this form overnight, and in the morning strain the infusion and pour in another 2 glasses of water.
After this, you can begin spraying the above-ground parts of the plants that have been affected by aphids.
