The appearance of a mole cricket on a country plot is perceived by summer residents as a serious problem.
And for good reason. Firstly, constantly seeing a large insect in the garden is unpleasant in itself.
Secondly, the pest is dangerous for almost all garden and horticultural crops. First of all, for vegetables and berries.
However, there is one plant that is not only invulnerable to the mole cricket, but also helps drive it away from the site.
What plant are we talking about?
Planting mustard will be a real salvation for a gardener.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh emphasized: the presence of this green manure in the garden is a guarantee that the dangerous pest will not appear near the crops.
This effect is explained by an interesting property of mustard: this plant is the source of a pungent smell that the insect does not like.
It is also worth noting that mustard is also a “green fertilizer”, which makes the soil more fertile.
Earlier, summer residents were told what fertilizers to use for feeding strawberries in the spring.
