Aggressive agents have a number of side effects that are important to consider.
However, there is an extremely accessible and effective remedy that many underestimate, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer.
What product are we talking about?
As it turns out, ordinary cinnamon can help cope with such complex tasks. Many pests are afraid of its smell, which is extremely convenient: you just need to sprinkle the soil near the most vulnerable crops with powder and forget about the insects.
In particular, cinnamon is effective in combating ants, aphids and midges. If you use cinnamon, you can forget about pests.
If we are talking about diseases, cinnamon is primarily known for its ability to protect plants from various fungal diseases.
Therefore, the spice can be used as an excellent antiseptic without any special contraindications or list of side effects.
