Spider mites in a greenhouse – how to get rid of them forever: working tips
Spider mites can be identified by the leaves of crops growing in the greenhouse.
As explained by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , if the foliage has begun to lighten, become covered with white spots and has lost its shine, then the plant is probably affected by this pest.
In addition to the listed signs, pay attention to the fruits: if the plant is damaged by a pest, they fall off, and the ovaries are poorly formed.
The statistics are depressing: if no measures are taken, spider mites can cause significant damage to the crop, destroying up to 90% of the fruit.
Various acaricidal preparations will help in the fight against ticks.
As an example, we will name such biological agents as Fitoverm, Entolek, Antivreditel and others, which have long been popular among knowledgeable summer residents.
If you managed to notice the pest at the initial stages of its “activity” and the plants are not seriously affected, you can use folk methods.
Thus, some gardeners treat plantings with a soap solution prepared at the rate of 100 g of laundry soap per 10 liters of water, or with infusions of onion peel, garlic or tobacco.
