Prevention and Control of Diseases and insect pests of potted vegetables

1. Catching insects: although primitive, it is very effective. Always pay attention to the front and back of vegetable leaves and the surrounding soil for signs of pests. two。 Quarantine. As soon as you see the branches and leaves that are infected and eaten by diseases and insect pests, you should remove them immediately and throw them for composting. Vegetables that suffer too much damage should be uprooted and thrown for composting.

3. Self-made natural insecticides: there are many simple and effective formulations. An editor of a science magazine once introduced such a method: "when my vegetable garden was suffering from insect pests, I found that some plants around the garden were safe and sound." I picked the branches and leaves of some of these plants, put them in a blender and mixed them with the same amount of water to make a solution. I sprayed the vegetables in the garden with this solution, and it worked very well. " This is because plants that are not affected by pests must contain some kind of disease-resistant and insect-repellent substance. In addition, asparagus juice can kill nematodes that harm tomatoes. Garlic also has a good germicidal and insect repellent effect, which can be ground into powder or squeezed juice to spray on vegetables and seeds. Horseradish also has a strong ability to kill bacteria and deworms, as well as purify the soil. Orange peel, pepper, garlic, mint, marigold, sage, rosemary, salvia and other plants can be used to make insect repellents.

4. Ploughing the land: pests such as tigers, cotton bollworms, leafhoppers, aphids and mole crickets can be controlled. These pests like to lay their eggs on crop stalks or in the soil after harvest in summer and autumn. Therefore, ploughing the land again after autumn harvest and burying the residual stalks of crops in the soil can prevent pests from laying eggs on it. Ploughing the land again before planting in spring will kill most of the remaining pests. The depth of ploughing must be at least 15 centimeters. In this way, you can dig up the eggs, pupae and larvae of insect pests hiding in the ground and let the hot sun, hot wind and natural enemies wipe them out. In our grandparents' time, it was common for egrets and other beneficial birds to follow farmers' ploughs and dig up worms to eat. Egrets are seldom seen. However, when ploughing, if you can catch a few chickens and follow behind to eat bugs, it will also have a good effect.

5. Protect the seedlings with a protective cover: wrap the stems of the seedlings with brown hard paper, insert 5 cm into the soil and expose about 3 cm to the ground, which can effectively prevent the ground tiger from biting off the seedlings. This method can also be used to deal with cotton bollworm. 6. Sprinkle the flour. In the early morning, sprinkle some flour on cabbage or cabbage leaves while the dew is not dry. Near noon, you will see a fat cabbage worm struggling in the batter and dying in the sun.

8. Think of some ways to attract birds to help catch pests.

9. Make a trap: this method can be used to deal with the enemy. Take four 30-centimeter-long bamboo tubes, paint them green, dry them and tie them up with nylon rope and place them under a fence tree or other haunted places. A few days later, in the early morning, shake the cymbals in the bamboo tube into boiling water or gasoline to eliminate.

10. Flush with water: the spider mites can be washed down from the vegetable leaves by spraying water with a kettle. Under normal circumstances, they will not go back when they are washed behind. This method can also be used to deal with aphids that harm roses.

11. Sprinkle grass ash: a circle of plant ash or limestone powder around vegetables can also protect vegetables from ground tigers. But be careful not to scatter ash on the vegetable leaves.
