Cabbage needs not only to be fed, but also protected from a number of pests.

A whole horde of various insects, as well as larvae, lay claim to the developing heads of cabbage.

One of the most dangerous pests is the cabbage moth. Also, a lot of damage comes from caterpillars, not the whites themselves.

They feed on cabbage leaves and can easily destroy the harvest. Until recently, it seemed that there would be large and dense heads of cabbage, but after the attack of the pests, a pitiful sight remains.

It is better to fight the problem immediately. A folk remedy prepared from a natural component will help.
