How to Control Pests with Mustard
Fighting the Colorado potato beetle
It is important to remember that this product will need to be updated periodically to maintain a high degree of effectiveness. If you do not forget to use it, the Colorado beetles will be far beyond your site.
You will need to heat ten liters of water and dissolve a glass of mustard in the liquid. Wait for several hours.
We add soap and process the potatoes.
The procedure can be performed 1-2 times every 7 days.
