There is no Colorado beetle on potatoes. Why? A simple secret
Potatoes are the most popular crop in summer cottages.
But growing a great harvest can be difficult because of parasites.
Many pests can burrow into the soil during the winter, and when the weather gets warmer, they come to the surface again and attack the crops. The Colorado potato beetle is no exception.
The insect actively attacks potato crops.
Its appearance on the site is a real headache for any summer resident.
But you can cope with the problem if you remember the crop rotation rule. In this case, the soil will rest from potato plantings, and the beetles will be left without a treat.
It is also possible to plant them together with other plants that will repel insects with their smell. We are talking about onions, dill, berry bushes, cabbage and oregano.
It would not be a bad idea to treat the potato bed with a biopreparation for prevention. For example, you can take "Fitoverm".
