Experienced gardeners know that one of the most dangerous pests for carrots is aphid.
The small insect reproduces extremely quickly, which could leave us without a harvest.
However, it is possible to get rid of aphids. Some use preparations specially designed for this purpose. Folk remedies are no less effective if you choose them correctly, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer.
What products are worth trying?
Onion
You can try a fairly effective method that will allow you to get rid of aphids in a short time. You will need to take about two hundred grams of onion, chop it with a knife right with the husk, put it in a bucket of water and wait 24 hours.
Afterwards, we filter the product and begin spraying the carrots.
Celandine
This plant is often used by experienced gardeners in their gardens, as it shows a high level of effectiveness in combating many insects.
Carrot aphids will also not be able to withstand a product based on celandine.
You will need to carefully chop three kilograms of plant material, pour a bucket of water over it and wait 24 hours. Then filter the product and spray the vegetable.
Potato tops
This remedy is distinguished by the fact that it does not need to be infused for a long time. You will need to take only half a kilo of tops, chop them and pour ten liters of water.
After three hours you can begin the spraying procedure.
