Flowering, fruiting, decorative foliage or indoor plants – none of them are protected from aphid attacks.
To combat the pest, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises using insecticides.
But many summer residents do not want to eat the fruits after such treatment, and therefore prefer folk remedies.
How to prepare a solution against aphids
Many gardeners use laundry soap as a base for preparing a remedy that can combat aphids.
The soap solution creates a film, and due to lack of air, the parasites die.
For the solution, it is better to use laundry soap with a high percentage of fat - grate the bar and stir in 10 liters of water.
What to add to the solution for greater effectiveness
To make the solution more effective, add vegetable oil to it.
Pour 250 milliliters of oil into 10 liters of water with diluted soap, mix the ingredients and treat the infected plants with the resulting composition.
