In addition to preventing mosquitoes, we should also pay attention to small snails and not clean up in time to eat leaves and bite roots
Do you know? In addition to paying attention to the pest infestation, you also need to pay attention to snails, which are actually a pest, especially wild snails.
They are eating vegetables and plants, watery vegetables are easy to be eaten by snails, and snails also know how to eat, specially eat those tender places, once the snails bite off the vegetable heart or rhizome part, can not continue to grow, can only be replanted, in addition to some peel snails are edible, if your vegetables and plants are raised in the outdoor soil, pay special attention to it.
Let's first understand the snail, the most favorite to eat plants is the gray snail, the distribution range is very wide, they will use the tooth tongue to grind the plant a little bit and then eat it, the plant after being eaten is not only unsightly, if it is serious, it will also lead to plant death. They generally breed 1-3 generations a year, especially in the rainy days, high temperature seasons, breeding particularly fast, dry season, will be lurking during the day, night out of harm.
Probably from mid-May to early October, the snail will be particularly active, most of the eggs will be under the stone or in the mud crevice, each snail can lay 50-300 eggs, so in order to reduce the snail's damage to the plant, you must often clean up the place where the plant is farmed, see the snail's secretion to follow, you can definitely find the snail spawning place and hiding place, and then sprinkle snail buster particles or salt, quicklime, grass and wood ash, etc. to destroy, reduce the source of insects.
Lime powder is mainly used around the fruit tree, sprinkled 40-50 cm near the root of the tree, can not be sprinkled too much about a layer of about 3-5 mm thick can be, sprinkled more may also have an impact on the plant, as long as the snail's abdomen passes through the quicklime powder will die.
The role of grass and wood ash is not to kill snails, but to scatter grass and wood ash on plants, snails climb up and feel particularly dry, do not want to eat plants, and then snails will go. The principle of salt and quicklime is the same, it is sprinkled on the place where snails often appear, and the bottom meat will lose water and die after contact. Snail buster particles are light blue in appearance and have a special fragrance that attracts snails and then dies.
After the active period, they will begin to overwinter below 12 degrees in mid-to-late November. Therefore, the production of snails has a lot to do with temperature and rainfall. We can plough the soil every once in a while, expose to the sun, and dry for three or five days, then the environment is not conducive to snail life, and we can also eliminate some small snails and snail eggs, or crawl away, I wish everyone can raise healthy plants and vegetables.
