How to save strawberries from aphids: only this treatment is respected by summer residents
Many gardeners and vegetable growers are sure that there is no escape from the ubiquitous aphids. They can be found, among other things, on strawberries and wild strawberries.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , there is also good news - attacks of the pest on this crop do not happen often: usually this happens in a dry hot summer.
It is at this time that farmers are surprised to discover strawberry stems and leaves densely covered with aphids.
The next steps that need to be taken to get rid of the parasite are the use of insecticides.
The following groups of drugs are suitable for this:
1. Intestinal-contact agents developed on the basis of permethrin compounds – Decis, Profi, Inta-Vir, Kinmiks.
2. Systemic pesticides that use imidoclapride or thiamethoxam as active ingredients, i.e. “Aktara”, “Tanrek” or “Biotlin”.
Don't be lazy and pay due attention to preventing the occurrence of aphids on the site - plant marigolds, lemon balm, basil or coriander near the strawberry plant. It is worth planting garlic between the bushes.
