Spider mites are quite difficult "enemies" for a summer resident, so you should be prepared for their potential appearance.
However, there is a set of measures with proven effectiveness.
Therefore, when the first signs of a pest appear, it is worth starting the fight immediately, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
How to deal with spider mites on cucumbers?
Peroxide
In order to completely solve the problem with the pest, it will be necessary to carry out 4 treatments. If it is not very hot outside, then the interval between treatments should be a week.
In hot weather, treatment is carried out every three days.
The recipe for the product is simple: take two spoons of the product per liter of water and apply the treatment.
Tobacco dust
This method can also be safely considered effective, but it is important to use it on time. The remedy is useful only at the early stage of the pest's appearance.
The cucumbers just need to be carefully powdered.
One such procedure will be enough.
