When aphids appear in the garden, you need to get rid of them immediately. If you leave the trees as they are, you can forget about a good harvest, since aphids destroy all growth points of young leaves and shoots. To combat this pest, you can use an organic, safe, non-toxic product.
What you will need:
- hot red ground pepper - 50 gr.;
- water 5 l;
- pot;
- thick fabric;
- sprayer;
- protective glasses;
- respirator.
The process of treating trees against aphids
50 g dissolves in 1 liter of cold water. hot red pepper.
Then the product is brought to a boil and cooked for 20 minutes over low heat. It is better to do this outside, as the boiling fumes hurt your eyes. Brewed pepper is infused for a day.
On the second day, the concentrate is filtered through thick cloth. Then 4 liters of water are added to it. The diluted product is poured into the sprayer.
When treating trees, you need to wear goggles and a respirator, since the pepper solution causes a burning sensation when it comes into contact with mucous membranes. This is a contact agent, so it only works when it hits an aphid.
It is necessary to spray the leaves from the underside, where insects hide. When processing, do not stand against the wind so that the product does not get on the skin. After thorough spraying without gaps, there will be no aphids on the second day.
