The best remedy against aphids on currants: easy to use, merciless to the pest

28.02.2023 15:42

There are many chemicals available to combat aphids, but the use of such products is limited in time.

Thus, “Aktara”, “Batrayder”, “Karbofos” and others like them are prohibited from use during the fruiting period.

Alternatively, you can use biological preparations: Fitoverm, Biolin, Aktofit and others.

But they also have a drawback - you shouldn’t expect quick results in this case.

If you need an urgent and at the same time safe solution, you should pay attention to folk recipes.

Hot pepper will come to the rescue for this.

To prepare a lethal solution, combine crushed pods and water in a ratio of 1 to 10, and then simmer this mixture over low heat for about an hour.

The next step is filtering. Before using, 500 g of concentrate should be dissolved in 10 liters of water with a small amount of laundry soap. If you do not use up the entire composition at once, do not worry - it is perfectly stored in a dark place.
