We recommend that you familiarize yourself with effective methods of controlling whitefly that do not require large costs. This pest lands in the leaves and lays its eggs there, damaging young plants and threatening the harvest. It feeds on the sap of young plants, which leads to yellowing, curling and drying of the leaves.
In addition, a sticky layer forms on the surface of the leaves, which creates ideal conditions for the fungus to multiply. Greenhouses are a particularly favorable breeding ground for this pest. Getting rid of the whitefly is very difficult even with the use of expensive chemicals, since the eggs have a thin membrane that protects them from the effects of drugs. However, there are several home remedies that help to cope with this pest.
For this purpose, you can prepare the following solutions:
1. Mix 30 grams of roots and 40 grams of dandelion leaves with 1 liter of warm water. Leave the solution for 3 hours, then strain and spray every 14 days.
2. Chop 100 grams of garlic, add half a liter of water and leave for 6 days. Then strain the solution and dilute it before use: add 5 ml of infusion to 1 liter of water. Carry out the treatment every 7 days.
3. Mix a teaspoon of iodine, a few teaspoons of soda, 40 grams of soap and a liter of warm water. Dissolve the resulting mixture in a bucket of water. Spray the plants with this solution every three days.
These simple home remedies will help combat whiteflies and protect your plants from their harmful effects.
