May bugs seem to be beautiful and harmless insects. They often appear in April-May, fly around flowering trees and surprise onlookers.
But in reality, these beetles are not so beautiful.
Still, their larvae are capable of ruining the potato harvest.
The thing is that they actively feed on organic remains in the soil, and then move on to tubers. In this case, the process can be delayed. After all, the larva turns into a real beetle only in the fourth year.
Therefore, the question of how to save potatoes is quite relevant.
There are several ways. And you don't need to use chemicals.
The first option involves using garlic infusion. To do this, grate the spice and pour hot water over it, let it sit for several hours. After that, when the liquid has cooled, you can water the potatoes at the root.
The second method is to create a couch grass infusion. The process of creation and application is similar to the previous one.
You can also prepare an infusion of burdock or onion. It is believed that they will also pleasantly surprise you with the result.
It is necessary to combine folk remedies and special preparations if the plantings are severely affected.
