Early spring brings with it pest problems.

How to save your harvest from the ubiquitous aphids and cruciferous flea beetles?

Let's start with bugs and fleas - they overwinter inside the soil and feed on cruciferous weeds before planting, but after the cabbage appears they "move over" to it.

Therefore, you can try to change the planting location of cruciferous crops every year - it is better to return them to the previous location after at least a year.

It should be noted that fire beetles do not harm plants, which cannot be said about cruciferous bugs, which overwinter under fallen leaves in gardens.

Bedbugs do not tolerate insecticides based on organophosphorus compounds.

The weevil is a scourge of the harvest, but there are some remedies against this insect. You can simply shake the beetle off the leaves onto a cloth.

This pest develops in dry flowers, so it is better to collect them. You can also cover the soil with a fine mesh, which will prevent it from flying away in the spring. But you will still have to collect it by hand.
