Pests that gnaw the plant stems most often close to the root collar, which causes plants to fall over, there are agriculture. Sometimes they also gnaw holes in leaves and fruits. These are gray-green or brown caterpillars, which curl up into a ball when irritated or concerned. They forage at night. They are combated by covering baits treated with bacterial preparations, like for example. Dipel, Bactospeine WP 16000 on moist soil. Such a bait is prepared (on 100 m2 of space) with the following ingredients: 0,5 kg of bran or middlings, 0,5 l of water, 2-3 dag cukru i 13 g of bacterial preparation.
Turkuć snack, it feeds in the soil, digging horizontal pavements beneath its surface and nibbling at plant roots, which for this reason often wither. Adult insect, length to 6 cm, it is brown in color. Shortened wing covers are visible on the dorsal side, from under which folded wings in the form of whips protrude. The shins of the front pair of legs are extended and flat with strong, toothed, soil-burrowing outgrowths. Females fold approx 200 eggs in underground nests. The hatched larvae are more or less 2 for weeks they separate and dig the pavements one by one in search of food. The larvae are similar to the adult insect, but they don't have wings. Fighting crouching is about catching it in catch traps, as shown in the picture, or on digging nests with larvae. You can also place piles of straw horse manure in the soil in the fall, in which the turtles take refuge. We mark this place, so as to dig up these piles from time to time and destroy the pests gathered there.
The most common pests are aphids, which different species to a greater or lesser extent infest all plants grown in gardens. They cause not only direct damage, but they also carry various pathogenic viruses. They are destroyed by predatory insects, such as: ladybugs, golden-eyed, midge, bzygi. If they cannot be dealt with mechanically, by removing and destroying leaves or shoots affected by aphids, we use spraying with such preparations, how: Bactospeine Jardin in concentration 0,5%, Basudin 25 EC in concentration 0,1 %, Anthio in concentration 0,15% the Pirimor 50 DP in concentration 0,05%.
Quite commonly and often on fruit plants, in vegetable and ornamental plants there are spider mites, which due to its small size (length approx. 0,4-0,5 mm) hard to see. Therefore, to detect them, we should arm ourselves with a magnifying glass, Fr. 3- or 5 times magnification. Their harmfulness consists in sucking the sap from the leaves, as a result the leaves initially turn gray-green, then they turn brown and fall prematurely. Infested vegetable plants give a much lower yield, ornamental plants are ugly, and perennial plants freeze more easily and develop fewer buds. The most common ones are: fruity spider mite and hoppy spider mite.
The fruit spider mite mainly affects apple and plum trees, but it can also attack cherries, cherries, morel, pear trees and ornamental trees and shrubs. In order to find out about the degree of risk, check trees and shrubs in winter, looking for clusters of red, clearly visible eggs. The hatching of larvae from winter eggs usually begins in the white flower phase of plums or at the beginning of the pink flower phase of apple trees.. This pest is also controlled at this time and at the end of the fall of the flower petals, by spraying trees or shrubs with Roztoczol extra liquid 8.
The spider mite occurs on currants, strawberries, malinach, cucumbers, celery, roses and on various ornamental plants, especially in dry and hot years. Carmine-red females winter in various crevices of the attacked plants. It is combated by spraying with Roztoczol extra liquid 8 and Torque 50 WP.
Obvious pests, what snails are, fights off, sprinkling the soil surface around the plants with sawdust or quicklime in a dose 3 kg in 100 m2. Lime cannot be used on moist soil, that is, during and immediately after rainfall. Merusol Schneckenkorn is also used to combat snails.
Voles and field mice, damaging plant roots and eating bulbs of ornamental plants, we fight it primarily by gassing burrows with the use of exhaust gases from a moped or motorcycle. In autumn, we can serve grains poisoned with zinc phosphate. They are poured into the burrows with a dispenser, remembering, that it is a highly poisonous agent for humans and birds.
We protect trees against hares and wild rabbits, by wrapping them with straw or paper saturated with tar or mothballs. We put plastic protective shirts on young trees, sold in garden stores.
