Flowers and plants are always disturbed by scale insects, and once they are found, they are all destroyed
Small friends who have raised plants should know about the insect shell, Xiaohua has recently seen many flower friends consulting about insect pests. The size of the insect is relatively small, not easy to find, but once it appears, the damage to the plant is still not small, always making the flower friends anxious, so how do we deal with it?
First, the performance of flowers and plants poisoned by ticks
1. The leaves are yellowish and deformed. The insects grow by constantly sucking the sap of the stems and leaves of the plant, so the growth state of the branches and leaves harmed by the insects will become worse, and the more likely situation is yellow, deformed, and some leaves will also appear curly changes, so once the leaves are found to have some changes, be sure to check the branches and leaves to see if the insects are demonizing.
2. The form of the insect shell. There are four growth stages of the insect shell, which are eggs, larvae, adults, and residual shells. Each stage of growth varies, but they all prefer to hide behind the leaves. There are white, yellow, brown, black, and gray, which are the differences between adult insects, but the most common is white.
Second, how to prevent
1. Manual pest control. This method is relatively small in the use of insect pests, and the large number is not able to catch each one. Because the size of the insect is relatively small, it is necessary to use toothpicks and forceps, and then you can use a cotton swab to stick alcohol to apply the pest, and alcohol can be purchased in pharmacies casually.
If the infection is more serious, we can remove the insect shell insects, we need to timely remove the plants from the pot, the root system is cleaned, because some larvae will attach to the roots, we have to eliminate them all, before the pot to be thoroughly disinfected before the pot again.
2. Clean environment. Empty pots at home should be cleaned up in time, do not pile up next to the plant; the pot soil with wild grass should also be cleaned up in time, do not give the insect pest any chance to grow. In addition, the ventilation and light transmission of the environment should be improved, so that the growth of the plant can maintain a growth environment, and there will not be too many problems. In the growth stage of the plant, we can also strengthen the management of topdressing, the plant growth is strong, in order to effectively improve the ability to resist diseases, there is a certain resistance to diseases and insect pests, will not be encountered at once.
3. Spraying. Spraying needs to be carried out in a well-ventilated environment, if it is sprayed indoors or in a place with poor ventilation, it is not safe, and the smell is more difficult to emit. If the space conditions do not allow it, we can use a solid agent and sprinkle it directly in the soil. There may be flower lovers who will wonder, can this work? In fact, the effect is the same, the plant can absorb it, and the effect on some diseases and insect pests is really good. It can also be used in normal times and can play a role in preventing the breeding of insect pests. The use rate of the agent should not be too high, generally once every other week is enough, remember to control the concentration, wear gloves and masks.
Xiaohua believes that as long as it is related to the health of plant growth, we can't leave a single detail behind. Therefore, we must learn to distinguish whether flowers and grasses are infected with ticks, do regular inspections and prevention, and do not wait until the plant is not saved to think of a solution, it will be too late.
