The vast majority of summer residents consider the cruciferous flea beetle to be an extremely dangerous leaf-eating pest.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , among the features of this parasite is active reproduction and laying of larvae in the soil.
These same larvae use the roots of cultivated plants for food, which is why they quickly acquire an unhealthy appearance.
If you do not begin to act immediately as soon as a flea is noticed on the site, be prepared for it to immediately spread throughout the garden and vegetable garden.
So we smoothly moved on to the means that plant growers use to cope with pest attacks.
First, thoroughly water the beds directly from the hose to knock the insects down onto the soil.
After this, you can begin to irrigate the plants with a solution prepared on the basis of 9% vinegar - 1 glass of acid per 10 liters of water.
This will make it impossible for the flea to return to the leaves. And while it sits on the ground, dust the plantings with tobacco dust.
Despite the fact that, according to experienced farmers, such a set of measures works immediately, it would not hurt to repeat it after 5 days to consolidate the result.
