What to plant next to legumes to protect them from almost all diseases and pests: a useful plant
Peas and beans are among the garden crops that are very vulnerable to dangerous microorganisms, insects and fungi.
Almost any disease typical for plants can affect representatives of the legume family.
These include bacteriosis, rust, yellow mosaic, white rot, and ascochytosis.
Beans and peas are also afraid of weevils, aphids, leafhoppers and many other pests.
Fortunately, experienced gardeners have long ago found a saving remedy. We are talking about a "defender" plant.
Planting this flower near legumes will provide garden crops with protection from almost all diseases and dangerous insects.
The perfect "neighbor" for legumes
Experienced summer residents have long noticed the following interesting phenomenon: if petunia grows next to peas and beans, then the main crops very rarely encounter diseases and pests.
The whole point is that the flower is a “trap” for harmful insects.
In addition, the plant looks beautiful. This is another reason to plant petunia in the garden.
