Many summer residents who grow cucumbers on their garden plots are faced with such a problem as pests, for whom this crop is in particular “demand”.
As the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh says, the most annoying things for gardeners are ticks and aphids that have occupied cucumber beds.
According to the specialist, these parasites can cause significant damage to crops.
This means that in order to avoid such trouble, you need to act proactively, that is, carry out preventive treatment of the plantings.
To do this, you will have to prepare a special solution.
To prevent the appearance of harmful insects, you will need a product consisting of water, soap and essential oil.
Here are the exact proportions: in 1 liter of water, mix 1 tablespoon of soap and 10 drops of tea tree oil.
Then use the prepared composition to spray cucumbers so that you don’t have to take more serious measures later.
