Growing vegetables and fruits, as we know, is not an easy task - the gardener has to deal with a lot of troubles: weeds, diseases, pests, etc.
If we are talking about cabbage, the most malicious insect pest operating in cabbage beds can be called the cruciferous flea beetle.
You can tell that she has visited your garden beds by the holes in the cabbage leaves.
In this case, experienced gardeners advise turning to folk remedies.
The most effective method is considered to be treating plants with tobacco dust.
Before this, the cabbage should be sprayed with a soap solution.
Then you should cover the bed tightly with protective material - make sure that there are no holes.
Another important condition is the destruction of all cruciferous weeds growing near the site. It is also worth avoiding the use of mustard as green manure - according to farmers' observations, these plants attract cruciferous flea beetles.
