Why non-chemical insect repellents in the garden may not work: you need to stick to the deadlines
Many summer residents prefer to use folk remedies in the process of fighting insects for obvious reasons.
Summer residents use many methods, from herbal infusions to birch tar.
But sometimes folk remedies simply refuse to work.
Let's see why this is happening and listen to the opinion of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why folk remedies may not work
The fact is that the use of folk remedies is effective only at the very beginning of the infestation, but if there are already a lot of insects, then you will have to use chemicals.
If a summer resident is determined to use folk remedies, he will have to inspect the plantings for the presence of pest breeding grounds.
It is better to treat the plant with folk remedies during the day or in the evening so that the infusion does not evaporate.
It is important to understand that infusions and decoctions do not reach such a high level of concentration as chemical preparations, and therefore the spraying interval should be no more than 10 days.
