With these tips, your harvest will be under reliable protection.
Spider mites attack many fruit plants. Almost every fourth or even third gardener encounters them.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and author of the blog Conscious Gardening Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to resist the annoying pest.
Folk method
The method does not provide full protection, but it allows you to save a lot and reduce the risk of spider mites. The garlic infusion contains essential oils that repel the pest.
To prepare the infusion, grind 200 g of garlic into a pulp and pour in a liter of water. Infuse for 5 days in a warm place, shaking or stirring occasionally. Dilute every 100 ml of the product with 5 liters of water.
Second option
To protect many plants from spider mites, sulfur-containing preparations are used, but in the case of gooseberries, they cannot be used. An alternative option is Fitoverm.
