If wireworms appear on your plot, you need to take immediate action, otherwise you may lose your root crop.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about the most effective means against this pest.
How to get rid of wireworms
First, it is necessary to follow crop rotation rules. Although the wireworm is polyphagous, crop rotation is a good preventive measure.
Secondly, deep digging of the soil in spring and autumn helps a lot. When digging, you need to collect and destroy the pupae, larvae and adult individuals of the click beetle.
Thirdly, it is necessary to monitor the acidity of the soil. If plants such as plantain, sorrel or horsetail appear in the garden, this may indicate an increase in soil acidity, and wireworms like acidic soils.
As for preparations against wireworms, the most effective are Terradox, Provotox and Taboo.
