To get rid of pests, treat cabbage seedlings with a simple but effective solution. Add 5 cloves of garlic, separated in a press, to a liter of boiling water, and pour in 10 grams of citric acid (2 teaspoons).
Turn off the heat, mix everything, cover with a lid and leave to infuse for 2 days.
Before spraying the cabbage, strain the solution. Treat with a sprayer, applying the product both to the leaves and under the root.
It is not necessary to filter the solution. The acid will dissolve completely, and the garlic will settle in two days, it will be enough to be careful when filling the spray bottle with the product. I do exactly this, and carefully pour the sediment with pieces of garlic under the root of the plant.
Result
It is better to carry out the treatment in the evening, it is enough to do it once a week. The first time we process, when the leaves have just appeared, we continue to do so until the head of cabbage is fully formed.
For seedlings, 0.5 liters of solution is enough for 100 bushes, if the head of cabbage is already forming, this volume can be used to treat about 20 bushes. If you spray regularly, you will need a little solution, for me a liter is enough for 2 treatments.
I use the solution from the moment of planting the seedlings until harvesting, so the cabbage does not get sick, its leaves are not eaten by insects and it is stored much better.
