Whether there will be a lot of aphids in a garden plot depends, among other things, on what crops are growing there.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, talks about the plants that attract this pest to the site.

What plants attract aphids to the site

Firstly, aphids love fruit trees, berry bushes and garden crops. In particular, apple trees, currants, cabbage, peppers.

Of course, you can't do without planting fruit crops. However, you can completely abandon such plants as bird cherry, viburnum, elderberry, acacia and fuchsia.

They attract not only aphids to the site, but also many other pests.
