There are more than 60 types of pests, but there are quite a few ways to fight them. In order to understand how to exterminate an insect, you need to know what it is afraid of and what kills it. Pests are divided into 3 groups.
1. Stem
2. Leafy
3. Fruity
Trunk, gnaw through the passages in the bark and thereby destroy its structure. These include bark beetles, gold beetles, barbels, weevils and woodpeckers. Affected trees are already weakened by other pests or diseases. They choose a fodder plant based on its smell, as a weakened tree emits volatile substances that attract insects. Such factors as destroyed bark, sawdust around the tree, insects crawling on the trunk and branches will help determine the presence of pests on the tree.
Bark beetles are brown or black in color, have an elongated oval body and have wings. Beetles settle in the lower and middle parts of the trunk. Methods of combating spraying with insecticides to the same the price of insecticides not too big now.
Whiskers have a long body with brown hairs, long whiskers and legs. You can fight this insect by spraying the trunks with mineral and oil solutions.
Zlatki are beetles with a bright color, a flat body, and short legs. Females lay eggs in cracks in the trunk or in the ground near the tree. To get rid of such pests, the damaged branches are cut and burned. The tree is sprayed with contact and systemic insecticides.
Shashil butterfly with a pot-bellied body, wings, gray with black stripes. Caterpillars pupate in the bark after two winters. Control methods — removal of heavily populated trees and treatment with systemic insecticides.
Leaf-gnawing pests are a large group of insects. They are able to inhabit huge areas and attack plants of different varieties and age groups. The most common are considered to be odd silkworms, leafhoppers, winter moths, and peeler moths.
Leafhopper is a green butterfly. Eggs are laid at the base of the leaf, covering them with special secretions. In the spring, caterpillars emerge from them, which settle in sprouts, eat them and wrap themselves in leaves. After that, the leaves become infected with powdery mildew and die. It is recommended to deal with this species before the tree blooms. Cutting and destruction of curled leaves together with larvae is carried out. In the spring, the plant is sprayed with various insecticides.
A silkworm is a gray caterpillar covered with hairs with blue warts. Pests quickly eat the leaves, moving with the help of silk threads. They prefer to eat apple, linden, birch and rose leaves. In spring and summer, carefully examine the leaves. If caterpillars are found, they must be carefully collected in polyethylene and crushed. Another effective method is glue traps, they are put on the trunk of a tree, collected insects are collected and destroyed.
The winter hawk has a green color with a dark line along the back and three white lines on the sides. These insects inhabit the upper part of the trees and gnaw the leaves to the bone. In June, the caterpillar descends to the ground and, burrowing into the soil, pupates. At the beginning of autumn, butterflies appear, which lay up to 350 eggs on a tree. In order not to encounter a pest, you need to dig up tree trunks, destroying the pupae. In the spring, it is recommended to spray the plant with a solution of oleocuprite.
Pyadun-pepper is similar to a butterfly with a terry gray-white color. Just like the winter one, it eats all the leaves, flowers, and ovaries and buries itself in the ground. The methods of struggle are the same as with winter.
The most common insect pests of fruit plants are the caterpillars of the goldenrod, silkworms, caterpillars, hawthorns, as well as aphids, red mites, sawflies, and apple stem borers. Almost all of them feed on leaves, sprouts and inflorescences.
The most dangerous pest for fruits is the apple peduncle. It gnaws holes in the fruit, which causes the apple to rot. Zolon and Bazudin are used to destroy this caterpillar. Spraying is carried out 2 times, in the middle of June and a second time in a month.
The aphid sucks the juices from the plant and infects it with diseases. You can get rid of it by spraying with a solution of household soap or Fufanol, Fitoferm and Bi-58.
The red mite is a small insect that lives on pears, apples and plums. It dehydrates the leaves, after which they die. It can be overcome with the help of Bi-58 and Fitofen.
In order to prevent the appearance of pests, you need to carefully monitor the plant throughout the year.
