11.07.2023 16:58

Aphids are a parasite that is not so easy to get rid of.

However, if you ignore its attack on the plantings, you can eventually forget about the harvest. After all, insects suck the juices out of plants, and in extreme cases, as experienced gardeners note, the plants can die.

But measures can be taken in time if you know which plants attract pests in the first place.

Roses

These beautiful and fragile flowers can decorate any area. But roses are often attacked by aphids.
Therefore, the advice of experienced gardeners about preventive spring treatment did not appear out of nowhere.

Gooseberry

Insects love this bush. Therefore, periodically, the leaves should be examined from all sides in order to start the fight in time.

Red currant

The leaves will curl and the berries will become smaller if treatment is not carried out in time.

Apple trees

You may be left without juicy and healthy fruits for several years.

Cucumbers

Most often, aphids attack cucumber plantings closer to fruiting. Cucumber leaves are a real treat for the parasite.

Viburnum

This is the most favorite plant for aphids. They feed on its leaves and can even overwinter on this plant.

Tarragon

But this is a real treat for aphids. At the same time, as summer residents note, the plant tolerates this problem quite steadfastly, and the insects rarely move on to other plantings if they have already attacked the tarragon.
