Absolutely any summer resident can face the problem of wireworms, so you need to know how to prevent this.
With the right approach, the pest will not even appear on your site, which is very good news.
To do this, you just need to follow a set of proven preventive measures.
What do they consist of?
Weeds
In order to avoid the appearance of wireworms, at the end of the season and throughout it, it is necessary to carry out active work to combat weeds.
Some plants (couch grass, for example) are a real delicacy for wireworms.
Plant residues
Some gardeners may leave some plant remains right on the plot after harvesting. You shouldn't do this if you don't want to fight wireworms later.
It is best to compost the remains.
Crop rotation
This rule is one of the most important, so it must be followed. Correct crop rotation not only increases yields, but also reduces the risk of wireworms appearing on the site.
