Even before the start of the active summer cottage season, it is worth remembering which methods have proven effective in matters of insect control.
Particular attention should be paid to the Colorado potato beetle.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, reminds that the insect has the highest ability to adapt even to chemicals. Therefore, control methods should be periodically alternated.
What methods should be considered?
Mustard
This is a good supplementary method that will perfectly complement your pest control scheme. Take half a cup of mustard and mix it well in a bucket of water.
Add a little soap to the mixture for viscosity.
After that we proceed to processing the potatoes. This method is incredibly effective against the pest larvae.
Juniper
This method is quite effective. It will be especially useful for those summer residents who already grow shrubs on their plots.
Take a couple of branches of the plant and chop them.
Pour in a bucket of water and wait four hours.
Filter the product and start processing. You can also put some juniper directly into the hole with potatoes.
