If one not so fine day you discover that the leaves of the cabbage growing in your garden are riddled with holes, you should prepare for the worst.
Most likely, the cabbage flea beetle was at work here, leaving behind perforated heads of cabbage, which over time begin to turn yellow and wither.
And since the pest larvae feed on plant roots, this parasite causes damage not only to the aboveground, but also to the underground part of the plant.
If we talk about folk methods, then one particularly common option is dusting cabbage with ash or tobacco dust.
There is another option, much loved by supporters of eco-farming – spraying with an infusion of wood ash.
To prepare it, you will need to dilute 3 kg of ash in a bucket of water, add 40 g of laundry soap and wait 12 hours for the solution to infuse.
Those who trust only the chemical industry should take a closer look at insecticides such as Aktara, Fufanon-Nova, etc.
Among the biological preparations against cruciferous flea beetles, the most popular ones are those such as Matrin Bio, ExtraFlor against onion fly and cruciferous flea beetles, etc.
