What to sprinkle on the soil to drive away wireworms: not all gardeners know
If you don’t want to lose your potato crop, you should understand that you will have to spend a lot of time dealing with pests.
Often, many summer residents focus on only one common problem - the Colorado potato beetle.
However, objectively it is much easier to deal with it, because it is on the surface, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
But the wireworm is securely hidden in the soil. Therefore, fighting it seems to be a much more difficult task. At the same time, few people know that there is an incredibly simple way to fight the pest. It is enough to simply sprinkle the soil with one powder.
What is the secret method of fighting wireworms?
As it turns out, you just need to buy potassium chloride at a gardening store. This product will help us make the soil unsuitable for wireworms to live in.
The procedure is carried out in the autumn period.
After you have harvested and carried out all the necessary activities, we begin to sprinkle the soil with the specified agent. Only twenty grams of potassium chloride are needed per square meter of planting.
In spring you won't even remember about the wireworm.
