What to do if you notice aphids on your property: one treatment is not enough
Most gardeners begin to fight aphids only when they notice that the leaves of the plants have begun to curl or the tops have acquired a red tint.
However, from the point of view of the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , this approach is not the most correct, because it is better to start the fight in the fall.
This recommendation is related to the fact that a huge number of aphids overwinter on trees and bushes, right around the buds in the form of egg clutches.
We will tell you how to avoid encountering aphids on your plot next season.
So, since aphids lay a huge number of eggs on young tree shoots, you will definitely have to remove all the growth.
Once this step is completed, move on to eradication treatment.
To do this, dissolve 300 g of copper or 500 g of iron sulfate in a small amount of water, add 700 g of urea, then bring the volume of the resulting product to 10 liters with water and apply it to the trunks, branches, and remaining leaves.
You can treat absolutely all plants except strawberries; to protect them, you should reduce the concentration of the solution by half.
