Spraying features

Effective pest control is essential before they appear. Before placing the seeds in the ground, it is recommended to warm them up for about 20 minutes in hot water. Its temperature cannot exceed 50 degrees. The seeds are then cooled in cool water for about two minutes. If, after planting, symptoms of any disease are found on the surface of the seedlings, it is advised to spray the culture with the following solution.

A tablespoon of copper sulfate is diluted in 10 liters of water, a tablespoon of liquid tar soap is added. The treatment is repeated after 3 weeks. It is permissible to spray with Topaz solution. To do this, 1 ampoule is diluted in 10 liters of water and the seedlings are treated a couple of days before planting. Next, you will learn how to treat cabbage from specific pests.

From cruciferous flea

An unpleasant and dangerous pest of our favorite vegetable crop is the cruciferous flea. Tiny bugs can cause significant damage to the future harvest, as they damage young leaves. For an effective fight, infusions made from tomato leaves, garlic cloves, wormwood, celandine or potato tops are used at the rate of a glass per bucket of water. A little liquid soap is often added to the solution.

You can use a mixture of wood ash and makhorka. The cabbage should be pre-sprayed with water. It is recommended to take the powder in a stocking and shake it over the crops. Some gardeners use ground black pepper instead of wood ash. You can also take dry slaked lime. In dry weather, a vinegar solution is used to combat cruciferous flea beetles.

It is easy to make - dissolve a tablespoon in a bucket of water. A weak solution of chicken manure at the rate of 100 grams per 10 liters of water will also help. If the crops are badly damaged, you need to use store-bought chemicals - "Accord", "Tabazol", "Tsunami". To scare off bugs, crops such as dill, coriander, caraway seeds, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and marigold flowers are planted near cabbage.

From the cabbage fly

Among the pests of cabbage, cabbage fly is also distinguished, which appears somewhere in the middle of May. She prefers to lay her eggs at the base of the plants. The larvae, which appeared after a month and a half, go deeper into the ground. There they gnaw at the rhizomes of a vegetable crop, provoking its wilting and inevitable death. It is advised to pollinate the soil near the plantings using a mixture of tobacco dust, ground black pepper, ash. Dust and ash should be taken in 20 parts, and pepper - 1.

The soil around the plants must be loosened, the depth should be about 3 cm. Thick paper will become an obstacle for the larvae. Suitable for baking, waxed and others. Squares of 15 - 20 cm are made from it, each side or circles. The structure is pierced in the middle and placed on the stalk of vegetable crops. The larvae that emerge from the eggs laid on paper die because the barrier prevents them from entering the ground.

An uncomplicated way of destroying fly eggs is to remove from time to time the top layer of the earth at a distance of about 15 cm from the plant stems. Instead of a removed layer of soil, soil is poured, extracted from a compost heap or row spacing. A tincture made on the basis of burdock repels cabbage fly well. It should be sprayed with cabbage repeatedly, taking breaks for about a week.

From aphids

Another type of pests dangerous for the normal growth and development of cabbage is aphids. To combat it, you can prepare a tincture from tobacco dust and wood ash - each component is taken in a glass.

A tablespoon of mustard powder is added there. The mixture must be diluted in a bucket of water. After it has stood for a day, you can process vegetable crops. To effectively combat aphids, infusions of yarrow, horse sorrel, celandine, horseradish, wormwood, potato tops, onions, its husks, and orange peels are successfully used. During the growing season of the plant, spraying it with such solutions must be done from 5 to 7 times.

A solution of milk will help - 500 ml with the addition of 10 drops of iodine to a bucket of water. An infusion of potato tops is prepared at the rate of 300 - 400 grams per 10 liters of water. Tincture of onion peel will turn out if you pour 200 grams of it with 2 liters of boiling water, and after a couple of hours, bring the available volume to 10 liters. Of the drugs that are sold in specialized stores, "Bi-58" and "Actellik" have proven themselves well.
