Mesophora is a genus of hemiptera, a general term for insects of the family Pterophoridae.
Mesozoans are small insects , most of which have waxy secretions on their bodies. Hermaphroditic, females are wingless, males have 1 pair of membranous forewings, and the hindwings are specialized as balance rods.
Mesophyllum is the most common pest on flowers, often clustering on branches, leaves, and fruits. Adults and nymphs use needle-like mouthparts to insert sap into the flower leaves and branch tissues, causing the branches and leaves to wither, or even the whole plant to die, and can induce coal pollution disease, which is extremely harmful.
The body of the mesozoan is wrapped in a layer of cuticle carapace, which is not effective if sprayed directly with drugs. It is like a lice that sucks human blood, sucking up the sap of the plant, thus causing great harm to the flowers and trees, the affected plants not only grow poorly, but also appear yellowing of leaves, early leaf fall and other phenomena, which will seriously make the plant wither and die.
Talk about some local methods, and try it for meat friends who don't want to use drugs:
1. Mix white wine with water in a ratio of 1:2. When treating insects, water the surface of the potting soil. Mesozoans begin to move at room temperature of 7 °C in the spring. It can be watered once in april, and then every half a month or so, and the effect is seen for 4 consecutive times.
2. Use 50 ml of vinegar (rice vinegar), put the small cotton ball into the vinegar and soak it, and gently rub it on the stems and leaves of the affected flowers and trees with the wet cotton ball, you can shake off the shell worm and kill it. This method is convenient and safe, which can not only achieve the purpose of pest control, but also make the damaged leaves return to green and shiny.
3. Gently and repeatedly wipe the diseased plant with alcohol, you can get rid of the mesophyllus, and you can get rid of it very cleanly and thoroughly. If you wipe the orchid diseased leaves with alcohol, not only can you get rid of the mesozoites, but also the larvae that are not clear to the naked eye, they are also completely killed, and the second year is rarely found to be harmful to the mesozoites, this method is simple, safe, and the effect is also very good.
4. Use diesel, washing powder, water according to the ratio of 10:0.6:6 into the mother liquor, at this time the mother liquor contains 60%, milky, diluted with water containing 30% of the medicinal solution, carefully sprayed on Milan, kumquat, cycad shell worms. After a week, most of the mesozoans changed from fresh orange to dry state, indicating that this method has a good control effect on mesozoans.
5. Mosquito coil insect treatment method. The mosquito coil is lit, placed on the pot under the harmful insect flower plant, and then covered with a plastic film bag, together with the flowerpot for about 1 hour, to kill aphids, red spiders, whiteflies, etc.
6. Garlic essence: Function: control of crop, flower pests and garden lawn pests: aphids, lepidoptera larvae, mesozoites, thrips fruit flies, leafminer flies, floating dust, beetles, red spiders; Sanitary pests: mosquitoes, flies and ants. How to use: Garlic essence is more sensitive to alkalinity, so it should be diluted with water and then add acid (acetic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid can be), adjust the pH to pH below 6.0 (the best pH is 5.5-6.0) in addition of garlic essence, so that the effect of garlic essence can be exerted. The earlier you use it during the growth phase of the plant, the better the results. Dilution multiple: use 170-500cc of garlic extract per land (hectare), dilute 100-1000 times, depending on the density of local pest occurrence and experience and self-allocation. Spreading it before or beginning to occur can avoid pest infestation, and if pests have occurred in large numbers, they can be used with other pesticides. Depending on the degree of pest, spread every 1-2 weeks.
7. Wind oil essence insecticidal method. Sprayed with 400 to 500 times liquid of wind oil essence, it has a fumigation effect and penetrates into the insect body, causing the pest to die. In particular, the control effect of waxy shell insects is good.
8. Neem: It can control more than 100 kinds of insects and several kinds of leaf borers and nematodes, such as corn borer, leaf lice, poisonous moth, fruit fly, phylloxera nematodes, class diving flies, two-spot leaf aphids, aphids, powdered shell worms, thrips, whitefly, etc. Its active ingredient is neem oil, which can be used directly after crushing and soaking neem seeds, but the use concentration should be high to be effective, and the use of neem leaf juice is also effective. In the early stage of insect infestation, when the density of the insect mouth is low, it is sprayed, sprayed once every 7 days, sprayed more than three times continuously, diluted 1000 times when spraying, and then added to the spreader after fully mixing with water, spraying and insect habitat.
9. Soot water. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is very toxic to pests and is effective against aphids, thrips, blind elephants, leafhoppers, etc. The preparation of soot water, with 50 to 1 00 cigarette butts in the ashtray, together with the ash added to 200 ml to 300 ml of water, soaked for a day and night, repeatedly mashed, with thin gauze filtered to remove the dregs and sprayed. You can also add a small amount of quicklime, after the lime emulsification, stir and then spray, the effect is better, its active ingredient is nicotine, lime plays a role in accelerating and improving the efficacy.
10. Spraying flowers with laundry detergent solution is an easy way to control insect pests in household flowers. A solution prepared with one gram of laundry detergent and one kilogram of water, sprayed with flowers, can control a variety of insect pests such as shell insects, powder butterflies, green thorn moths, ground tigers, inchworms and so on. Using water infusion liquid such as cigarette butts, orange peel, ginger, garlic, etc., and adding a little washing powder to remove insects can improve the effect and scope of insect removal. The insecticidal ability of laundry detergent is due to the action of sodium alkylphenylate, the active substance contained therein. This substance, when exposed to flower insect pests, can quickly remove the waxy material of the insect body wall, thus entering the interior of the insect body, suffocation and death of the pest. For some pests such as stupid elephants, although they cannot be killed directly, they can poison and paralyze them and stop the harm to flowers.
What should be noted when using the detergent solution are:
1, because the various washing powder components sold on the market are not the same, so it is best to do a little experiment on a small amount of flowers when using, grasp the dosage, and then widely use it when it is harmless to flowers.
2, too much use of laundry detergent solution will make the soil alkalinized, and is not conducive to leaf breathing, it is best to use its solution sprayed for 24 to 48 hours after spraying with water, one thousandth of vinegar water spraying foliage, and with ferrous sulfate water and tao rice water watering flowers, to neutralize alkalinity, strengthen the photosynthesis of the leaf, is conducive to the growth of flowers.
3, washing powder insect treatment must be fully dissolved, so as not to burn the leaves.
