Wireworms may seem like a formidable enemy to any summer resident, since it is almost impossible to lure them out of the soil, which significantly complicates the task of eliminating them.
However, a set of measures will allow you to clear the area of this pest.
It is worth trying to use several options at once to increase efficiency, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What measures are worth trying?
Onion
Some summer residents believe that planting onions themselves can reduce the concentration of wireworms on the plot. However, it is also worth trying to add husks when planting to increase efficiency.
Marigold
This plant can be considered one of the most useful for the garden and vegetable garden due to the fact that many pests are afraid of it. Wireworms also do not like these flowers, so plant marigolds wherever possible.
Acidity
The pest feels good if the soil has become actively acidified. Therefore, monitor the acidity indicators in order to take timely measures.
White mustard
It is believed that many green manures make the soil a less than comfortable habitat for wireworms. But white mustard is the best choice for this task.
