Whitefly only seems harmless. If you touch a leaf, a cloud of tiny white insects rises into the air. They suck the juice from the plants, because of which the leaves weaken, turn yellow, and the heads grow more slowly. In addition, the sticky secretions of the pest become a good environment for the development of fungal diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first method \u2014 soap solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Grate 50\u201370 g of laundry soap and dissolve in 10 liters of warm water. Spray the cabbage so that the solution gets not only on top, but also on the underside of the leaves, where the whitefly lays eggs. After 4\u20135 days the treatment should be repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second method \u2014 garlic infusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chop approximately 200 g of garlic cloves, pour 1 liter of water and leave to infuse for a day. Then strain and dilute 50 ml of the infusion in 10 liters of water. Such a remedy has a sharp smell that well repels adult insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third method \u2014 tobacco infusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour 200 g of dry tobacco or tobacco dust with 5 liters of hot water and infuse for two days. After straining add another 5 liters of water and a little liquid soap so that the solution sticks better to the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there are already very many pests, folk remedies may not be enough. In such a case it is worth using an insecticide permitted for vegetable crops, strictly following the manufacturer\u2019s instructions and the waiting periods before harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent the whitefly from returning:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 regularly remove weeds around the beds; \u2022 do not allow strong thickening of the plantings; \u2022 periodically examine the underside of the leaves; \u2022 destroy strongly affected leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is significantly easier to fight whitefly at the very beginning. If you act in time and repeat the treatments, the cabbage will quickly recover and continue to form strong, healthy heads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whitefly only seems harmless.
