Now that the harvest has been collected, gardeners and vegetable growers have the opportunity to assess the situation and, without haste, sort out the issues that concern them.
One of these problems, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is connected with strawberries.
Thus, summer residents often notice that the leaves on strawberry bushes curl up and do not fully unfold, their emerald color changes to yellow, and the plants stop growing.
All these signs indicate that the strawberry plantation is affected by strawberry mites.
The most reliable way to get rid of the pest is treatment with biological preparations, for example, a product called “Aktaro E”.
When carrying out the procedure, act in such a way that the product gets on the underside of the leaves, because the “uninvited guest” settles precisely in this place.
Despite the fact that attention should be paid to old leaves, as well as flower stalks, buds, flowers, berries or tendrils, to which the parasite can move in case of its high numbers, it is still worth spraying young leaves most abundantly - the bulk of ticks accumulate here.
Another important point: the result will be noticeable only if the strawberries are treated at least 3 times during the growing season.
