Sometimes trees may develop brown needles, which can happen for many reasons, one of which is the impact of pests.
Owners of plots located near a coniferous forest must be especially careful.
Insects are interested not only in wild but also in decorative coniferous plants.
Let's see what types of pests are identified by the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
First of all, these are sawflies, scale insects, false scale insects, hermes and spider mites - other insects also cause harm to the tree.
If a thin web, small growths and plaques, galls on shoots and buds, as well as sticky secretions have formed on the tree, then the tree needs to be inspected for pests.
Pests need to be dealt with immediately after detection – insecticides designed for specific groups of pests are suitable.
