Aphids are pests that are quite dangerous despite their modest size.
If you miss the appearance of pests on plants, you can lose your harvest in no time.
Let's look at ways to quickly get rid of aphids on plums and other plants in the garden.
Prevention
As with human diseases, prevention also proves effective in agriculture.
To avoid aphid infestation, it is important to dig up the soil around tree trunks in a timely manner, as well as remove fallen trees so as not to create favorable conditions for aphid settlement.
Effective means
If the pest has already been detected on the plantings, then folk remedies will come to the rescue. The following have proven effective in combating the small pest:
- infusion of wood ash with soap solution;
- ammonia;
- linseed oil, etc.
It will also be effective to prevent ants from walking along the trunk of agricultural crops, since it is because of these insects that pests appear in the garden.
To get rid of ants, wrap a tree trunk with a strap made of film or an old bag and coat it with grease. The insects will not be able to overcome such an obstacle.
