It is necessary at least once a week to inspect the leaves of trees and shrubs, as well as the surface of the bark of trees for the presence of malicious insects. Inexperienced gardeners pay attention to the problem only when it already comes out, for example, when the leaves sent to the caterpillars will begin. In this case, it is already too late to take any effort and a plant can perish.
There is a certain order of seasonal pest control to prevent their harmful effects on plants in the garden:
- Immediately after the melting of snow cover, the garden must be removed from the rotting fruit left from spring, leaves and plant residues. It is better, of course, to do it late in the fall so that in the spring, the amount of unnecessary material in the garden is minimal. The fact is that the remnants of rotting vegetation and leaves are an ideal place to develop harmful insects and microorganisms that may cause the disease.
- After swelling, the kidneys in the trees comes the time to combat weevil. These minor bugs who are very loved by the bark and the leaves of the trees, winter on the surface of the fallen leaves, and it is important that they will not get into the crown in the spring. For this put traps with glue at the foot of the strain.
- May is the time to treat plants against a flue dew.
- Against the appearance of the paste, the cause of which can be fallen in autumn leaves, trees in the spring are treated with fungicide-based solutions.
- So that the tree does not suffer from the life of a silkworm, apple moth, hawkering or leafpers, it must be processed before the appearance of buds.
Biological methods to combat pests
The popularity of such methods is a relatively low cost of work and less harmful influence on plants from the chemical elements. Also, at the expense of its safety for soil, plants and their fruits, treatment with biological preparations and decoctions can be carried out even during crop maturation. At the same time, the high rate of decay of biological preparations is the key to their safety.
Conditionally such methods can be divided into several approaches:
- Spraying by biologically active substances and decoctions from plants.
- Attraction of insects and animals in the garden to combat pests.
- Installation of barriers and traps to prevent pests to plant.
To increase the effectiveness of the fight against insects and other types of pests of fields and gardens, you must remember the care of the soil. Timely application of fertilizers, additives, the constant soil mulch will reduce the likelihood of the development of harmful microorganisms or insects.

- Calendula.
- Chamomile.
- Celandine.
- Needles.
- Long husk.
- Garlic and other plants.
Plants or their flowers are collected in dry weather and dried. Then brew them on boiling water, filter and leave to cool. Next, the decoction is diluted with water and spraying garden crops. If necessary, the procedure must be repeated in a week. It is worth noting that, despite the relative safety of biological sprayers, with them you also need to work carefully, as with chemical. Special attention should be paid to the consistency of the beam. After all, if you go over, you can create a lot of problems. In addition, it should not spray healthy plants, limit only those who got sick. It is worth remembering about pollinators who significantly increase the yield of cultures. Therefore, the spraying work must be carried out either early in the morning or late in the evening. To make events more successful, it is necessary to determine which insects pests of fields and vegetable gardens caused plant disease.
Recently, preparations have recently been obtained, which in their composition have pheromones that attract a certain type of insect or birds to combat pests.

On the contrary, chemical processing defenders think. They believe that without it, the plants are more likely to die, not to mention a good crop, and the means of struggle do not have a negative impact on the human body.
Biologists and agrotechnology scientists believe that without chemical and biological methods of struggle to grow, it is almost impossible to grow, however, the rules for their use should be followed. It is impossible to pour a narrow-minded garden with pesticides and hope for a wonderful result. Work on the care of plants should be comprehensive and timely.
