Aphids are rightly considered one of the main enemies of summer residents.
The pest may well leave the owner of a country plot without a harvest.
The fact is that a representative of the order Hemiptera sucks the cell sap from plants.
Aphids also release dangerous compounds that cause leaf blades to curl and die off, as well as stop the growth and development of crops.
Fortunately, there are many ways to combat this dangerous insect.
But the best option to prevent pest attacks on plants is prevention. In other words, it is better to prevent the appearance of aphids than to deal with the consequences of this phenomenon.
Summer residents were reminded of this by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
To obtain a luxurious preventative measure, you need to fill a standard bucket with water and add 75 grams of malathion to the liquid.
The resulting solution must be used to treat trees and shrubs.
The procedure must be carried out at the very beginning of spring: before the buds “awaken”.
It is desirable that the air temperature be more than +4 degrees.
Treating garden crops with a solution of malathion makes the likelihood of aphids appearing almost zero.
