The glasswort will fly away from your currant bush: what to put under the bush
To make currants lose their attractiveness to glassworts, chemicals are not required.
The bushes will be protected from the pest with the help of a little trick.
The glasswing lands on currant bushes to leave offspring. The insect itself does not harm the bushes – it feeds on dew and nectar.
Currants, gooseberries and a number of other crops are threatened by glassworm caterpillars. They burrow into shoots, eat the core and move inside the branch as if through a tunnel.
The shoots dry up, turn black and die along with the foliage, which was recently green. The harvest also disappears.
Thus, the problem can be solved by simply preventing the glassworm from leaving offspring on currants and other bushes. To do this, you need to make the plant lose its attractiveness to the insect.
How to scare away a glasswing
Place a fragrant mixture under the bush that the insect will not like. Take a few spoons of currant jam, pour in water and stir.
Next, the liquid needs to be placed in a dark, warm place. It should ferment. When this happens, the mixture is placed under the bush. The glassworts do not like the aroma at all, for which such a bush will automatically become unattractive.
