Many people are afraid to use salt on their plots because they believe that it can have a negative impact on soil fertility.
But with reasonable use, you can forget about the harm.
On the contrary, if used correctly, salt can be used to make insect repellents, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
How to Fight Pests with Salt
Onion fly
You will need to take one small spoon of salt per liter of water and spray the crop. As a rule, it is enough to carry out only 3 procedures during the season to ensure that the onion is reliably protected.
Other types of flies
If you also want to fight other flies (sprout, cabbage, beet, etc.), you can use an identical method, but the salt concentration will be significantly higher.
It is customary to take at least three large spoons of the product per liter of water.
Ants
These pests will be relatively easy to deal with. Mark the paths along which the insects move. Then treat them with salt.
