Some of the activities can be carried out in winter – we will tell you where you can find the enemy of the garden.
Let us pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What pests are we talking about?
Here are some options for insects.
- Woodworms, bark beetles and bark beetles. They hide under the bark, in the bark or wood. They can be found by the tunnels they make.
- Bark beetles. Yellowish-white flour appears on the surface of the tree. It is better to cut off and destroy heavily affected branches.
- Codling moths. They overwinter in cracks in the bark or under old bark.
- Scale insects. They can lay eggs up to 0.5 mm long.
- Hawthorns and goldtails. They live on the periphery of the crown. You will have to cut off the branches and burn them.
- Weevils. In the fall, you need to dig up the soil in the garden deeply and remove fallen leaves and fallen fruit.
