What are the main pests of dragon fruit

Pine trees have been planted in orchards before, and termites may be more serious. Termites will directly gnaw off the stem of the dragon fruit plant or nibble away at the root group, causing the injured tissue to yellowing and fester upward. The control of termites can be killed by drugs in the roots. Underground pests include snails, slugs, ants and so on. They eat the tender branches of plants. Ducks can be raised in orchards to eat pests, or they can be sprinkled with lime on the ground or at the head of trees or killed with poison bait. Aphids and beetles occur at flowering or fruiting stages. Aphid flies can be used for biological control, or soapy water can be scrubbed and removed with a brush; tea bran can be used to drench the border surface at the peak of beetle breeding to drive the larvae out of the surface and allow ducks to eat. If there are red and yellow spiders, shell insects, caterpillars, Spodoptera litura, fruit flies, corn borer, etc., when the flower buds and new shoots are 3 cm, spray 1000 times of trichlorfon, or 80% dichlorvos plus 40% omethoate, 2 times 3 times, 7 times 10 days apart. When the mature pericarp turns red, the fruit fly will lay eggs in the mature fruit epidermis, and the hatched larvae feed on the pulp, resulting in fruit cracking and rotten fruit. Control methods: turn the garden soil in winter or early spring to reduce the number of insect population; in the peak period, spray the crown with 2000 times of pyrethroid pesticides, or 2000 times of trichlorfon and 3% brown sugar, 3 times in a row, 7 days apart Small pieces of paper soaked in 97% methyl eugenol and 3% dibromophosphorus solution (prepared at 95:5) can also be hung on trees to trap and kill adults, 50 yuan per square meter, twice a month. Bagging is carried out in the middle stage of fruit development to prevent adults from spawning. Click to see more dragon fruit planting techniques
