The presence of wireworms in the garden will spoil the mood of any summer resident: the pest is extremely difficult to overcome, so it can live on the site for years.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a detailed plan for combating wireworms.
For example, you can plant plants on the plot that will help drive away the pest, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What landings are we talking about?
Experienced gardeners are sure that it is best to "engage in battle" with wireworm in the fall. Green manure will help in this urgent issue.
The choice is between radish, phacelia, peas, mustard, clover, alfalfa and sweet clover.
The selected option is planted, allowed to grow to ten centimeters, and then mowed down and buried in the soil. For wireworms, this measure will be fatal.
You can also plant the above crops in season - just combine potatoes with green manure in one bed.
These methods are not only effective, but also safe. The methods also improve the quality of the soil itself.
