Usually, the appearance of the Colorado potato beetle in a potato bed does not end well.
The pest eats the leaf blades of the garden crop. As a result, the risk of crop loss becomes very high.
However, a summer resident can defeat the dangerous insect and save the plant.
Vinegar will come to the rescue, on the basis of which you can prepare a natural, effective and safe alternative to insecticides.
How to make a remedy against the Colorado potato beetle
Pour 100 milliliters of vinegar into a deep container. Add 200 grams of mustard powder to the liquid product.
After thorough mixing, you will get the base for the future product.
You just need to dilute this mixture with water. Or rather, put it in a bucket filled with clean liquid.
In other words, the 300-gram mass must be mixed with ten liters of water. After all, the solution should not be concentrated.
The result will be a liquid that can be poured into a spray bottle.
After this, all that remains is to douse the garden crop with drops of the prepared product. It is advisable to carry out the procedure on clear days.
If everything is done correctly, the Colorado potato beetle will soon disappear. The garden crop will acquire protection from the dangerous insect.
