Cabbage has plenty of enemies among insects. Caterpillars, slugs and other small creatures like the cruciferous flea beetle attack the harvest.
The appearance of this pest should not be ignored, as the flea can easily destroy the harvest. In addition, it is necessary to recognize the invasion in time.
Considering that cabbage is almost entirely used for food, no one wants to water it with chemicals.
How to save cabbage
The cruciferous flea beetle feeds on plant sap, but the problem is that the parasite can only be detected after the cabbage has been damaged – a thin mesh appears on the leaves.
The pest moves quite quickly and can easily bleed out the entire garden bed.
Therefore, cabbage should be treated weekly, and mustard powder can be used for this purpose.
There is no need to prepare solutions – just sprinkle them on the leaves of the seedlings.
You should pay special attention to cabbage after planting the seedlings in the ground and until about the end of June.
