The mole cricket and wireworm are among the pests that pose a serious danger to garden crops even at the early stages of plant development.
The fact is that seeds are also vulnerable to the above-mentioned insects.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the seedlings will not appear at all. The risk of total crop loss is quite high.
The difficulty also lies in the "stamina" of the mole cricket and wireworm. These pests survive in the most difficult conditions.
Sometimes even the most expensive drugs do not help to destroy insects.
However, you shouldn't give up. The bed can be protected from pests. To do this, it is enough to plant a plant known to every summer resident.
Mustard demonstrates excellent results in the fight against mole crickets and wireworms.
If this green manure is in the garden bed, then dangerous insects leave the area.
In addition, mustard is a source of microelements useful for garden crops.
Thus, plants receive phosphorus and sulfur. These components get into the soil precisely thanks to green manure.
