It is difficult not to notice the appearance of aphids in a vegetable garden or in a garden, and this phenomenon does not bring joy to either gardeners or vegetable growers.

Getting rid of parasites is not so easy, so the easiest way is to act ahead of time. Here is one example of prevention.

Experience shows that weeds are not always the cause of aphids appearing on the plot. Often, this is associated with useful and even medicinal plants.

Leave and treat

Aphids really love red currant bushes.

Therefore, having noticed curling leaves and small berries, you need to start inspecting and treating the bush. Modern methods of treatment allow you to solve the problem in just one spraying.

Gooseberries are also often subject to parasite attacks. It is necessary to regularly inspect its leaves and branches so as not to miss the moment and begin processing.

Of all trees, the apple tree suffers from aphids more often than other trees.

It's easier to get rid of

Many people grow viburnum on their plots. This shrub is a native home for aphids, which not only feed on its leaves, but also overwinter in the shoots.

If absolutely necessary, you should allocate a secluded place for the viburnum and away from other fruit crops.

You should also keep an eye on elderberries, which, in addition to attracting aphids, tend to grow throughout the entire area.
