The long -awaited strawberries most often suffer from an annoying weevil. These small insects affect buds, flowers, leaves and even stems, depriving the plant of the ability to fully develop and bear fruit. Skillful summer residents are divided by a recipe for a simple spray that will scare away the parasite from your bushes.
As Zen-Canal “Councils of Gardeners” (18+) notes, wood ash is an effective natural spout of the weevil. To prepare the product, 1 kilograms of ash, 3 liters of water and 50 grams of grated tar soap will be required. All components are mixed and leave to infuse for 12 hours in a dark place.
After insisting, the solution is poured into a spray gun and strawberry bushes are treated. It is better to do this in dry weather when there is no threat of rain. To fix the effect, after a week processing must be repeated. However, during active fruiting and ripening of berries, the product should not be used.
This simple way allows you to protect strawberries from the pest and maintain the crop without harm to the health and ecosystem of the site.
