Who would like to find small, but nonetheless nasty worms in a bowl of raspberries picked from their garden?
The reason for their appearance is the raspberry fly and beetle, which did not find a better place to lay eggs than the raspberry bush.
Fortunately, knowledgeable gardeners have several effective and affordable methods at their disposal that will help protect raspberries from attacks by these pests.
One of the treatments that raspberries need is to use a two percent solution of manganese (2 g of the preparation per 2 liters of water).
Potassium permanganate is an excellent insecticide that will rid you of insects and their larvae after spraying the raspberry bush. Do not forget about re-treatment 7-10 days after the first one.
An equally effective result is achieved by infusion based on wormwood and mustard.
In this case, it is worth steaming 0.5 kg of wormwood and 2 tablespoons of mustard in a bucket of water and leaving them to infuse for several hours.
After straining, use a product to treat raspberry bushes.
