Every year, breeders work on breeding new varieties in order to improve the quality of the crop, protect its pests and external influences, and significantly simplify the work of farmers and farmers. Today, one of the means against the terrible Colorado (and not only) beetle is the purchase of specially prepared planting material. But in the case of an ordinary dacha, it's unlikely that anyone will become so bother. Therefore, advice on how to deal with the Colorado beetle after planting is in great demand.
Insecticides and special preparations against the Colorado potato beetle
Ironically, even universal insecticides now help fight this pest. It is fair to say that in the early stages of this problem they are really effective, but more often it is necessary to use special chemicals. Always remember that you will not read all the side effects on the package, and it is difficult to predict the consequences for the soil after such a dose of chemistry. Alternatively, you can try biological agents and preparations against the Colorado (and not only) beetle.
The notorious BAYER company produces not only medicines, but also plant protection products. "Prestige" is one of them: one of its components helps protect the plant from a beetle, the second one directly affects the pest. In addition, this miracle-tool also accelerates the growth a little. Its advantage is that you process the planting material, and after work the drug breaks up into components that are not chemicals.
Another relatively safe option - "Decis-pro" - is also a popular remedy for the Colorado beetle. This time the drug does not allow the beetle to multiply. He works three times: first you process the landing hole itself, then the first shoots and finally a couple of weeks later the treatment. The composition is completely organic and harm to man or animal will not bring.
Folk remedies and methods from the Colorado potato beetle
If there is not enough money to buy ready-made safe chemistry or the credibility to it is undermined, it is time for folk methods. So the remedy for the Colorado beetle is planting nearby plants that the beetle does not tolerate. These include sage with tansy, you can try catnip.
There is another interesting method, how you can successfully fight the Colorado beetle. Just note that it is suitable only for gardens, where the crop rotation is observed. For the trap along the perimeter dig a trench with steep steep walls, then stack the film. Further after falling into such a trap the beetle can not get out of it, and the mushrooms developing in polyethylene are dangerous for him.
