Treatment of potatoes from Colorado Beetle

Each person who has a cottage plot or a small garden near the house, seeks to plant potatoes. People grow this garden culture for a long time, you can even say that potatoes are the second bread. Without it, it is almost impossible to do without it: we prepare the first dishes, very much love to fry potatoes, bake and make potato mashed potatoes. It is not so difficult to grow this garden culture that is not so difficult, only it is important to properly approach the question of the fight against the Colorado Bucket, which harms potatoes, and at the same time harm and neighboring cultures.

Fight with beetle is not easy. What just does not have to do to reduce the number of these pests in the country area. As soon as the potato sprouts appear on the light - the Colorado beetles are attacked right on them. If you put everything on a sidier, then after a week from potatoes, nothing will remain, the beetles eat all the green stems, damping the plants of nutrients and full development. In addition, Colorado beetles are often transferred from one plant to another disease. So, if potatoes do not die from the attack of Colorado beetles, he may die due to diseases.

Some daches, not starting the struggle with the pest, they simply threw their country areas, believing that the precious time is more expensive than the forces spent on growing home potatoes. And what to do to those who persistently keep looking for ways to combat Colorado beetles? Hope only for good luck and not give up, because there is still no such a magic drug, which and the beetle will win, and potatoes will leave the whole, and will provide a good harvest.

Treatment of potatoes from Colorado Beetle

The colorad beetle received such a name for no accident. At the end of the old century in Colorado, unknown striped beetles attacked the local potato field. They destroyed completely all potato fields in the district. People could not save plants from pests. The crop was lost. From those times and the struggle between this small, externally attractive, but very terrible pests began.

The Northeast of Mexico is considered the birthplace of the Colorado Beetle. According to scientists, these small pests gradually won America, moving at a speed of 200 km per year. Thus, gradually beetles attacked most of the world, every year causing more harm to potatoes and other plants.

It is noteworthy that the beetles eat the upper juicy sprouts and leaves and not only in potatoes, they loved other garden crops: eggplants, tomatoes, peppers and grated. In addition to the fact that the pests eat a lot, they also reconcile quickly.

The easiest and most effective way to combat pests is the collection of the beetle manually. As the dackets say that all ways are good in the fight against the colorado beetle. It is worth starting the fight against the beetle from a safe method in terms of ecology and human health. Zhukov must be collected manually, preferably on a sunny day. The best time to collect - noon. Immediately worth the patience, as it is not very entertaining. It is best to collect beetles in gloves and fold in a bucket to destroy. Try to shoot from potatoes not only adult individuals, but also pending eggs and larvae. Go first throughout the entire area and collect adult moving beetles, and then carefully inspect each bush, lift the leaf from the bottom - the larvae is hiding there. They must also be collected, pour kerosene and burn. Can be placed in a strong salt solution.

The best time to combat the beetles - before the start of germs. You can cook for pests the box with a surprise. To do this, take potato cleaning or cut the potatoes into several parts. Then you need to put future bait into the solution of chlorofos or carbofos (prepare this: 5 tbsp is taken on 1 liter. Funds) and leave for 5 hours. Having tasted such a treat - the beetles will die. Similarly, you can proceed after the potato will be dug, for prevention.

The colorado beetle is very sensitive to different smells. If you put between rows of potatoes of culture with a strong smell, then you can thus beaten most of the insects. It is not worth counting on a complete victory, the coughing will still go to sweet plants. Dill, basil, calendula, velvets, legumes are suitable as dischargeing plants.

You can also do this: as soon as you plant potatoes, decompose between the rows of the onion husk. It is desirable that it was not just the upper dry shell, but with pieces of onions. Over time, the bow begins to rot and the strong smell will prevent the beetles to come close to the potatoes.

Help in the fight against pests birch sawdust and fir branches. Twice a month you need to sprinkle a routine with a prepared raw material, plus spraying with a mouth. You can prepare it alone from 10 liters of water and 100 g of birch tar. Processing the area with such a solution can not be 2 times a month.

After digging up the tubers, treat the section with a solution of chicken litter (4%).

Cut the number of pests is possible with the help of ordinary ash. In addition to the fight against the Colorad beetle, you will have a chance to get a great potato harvest. Some enterprising daches handle potatoes with corn flour and even cement. Such dust acts on the pests is detrimental: as soon as it falls into the stomach - swells and beetles perish.

Chemical preparations in the fight against pests

The colorado beetle does not like when toxic substances fall on the plants. Pests to nicotine are very sensitive, so you can independently prepare a solution for spraying potatoes. We take 500 g of chopped tobacco (the raw material must be dry). If the real tobacco failed to find, you can buy cigarettes. You will need 200 pcs. Finished raw materials pour cold water (10l) and leave for 2 days. Then it is possible to strain the infusion and before proceeding with spraying, add 40 g of a soap solution (the economic soap to rub on the grater, add some water so that the mixture becomes liquid). Spray the bushes of potatoes by this solution.

If the methods described above do not give positive results, it remains to be resorted to chemicals. Popular preparations for treating potatoes: "Decis", "Karate", "Sonnet", "Sumi-Alpha", "Marshal".

Before proceeding with the processing of potatoes, you need to familiarize yourself with some rules:

• when working with poisonous substances, care caution. It is impossible to have children and pregnant women during the processing of the site;
• it is strictly prohibited during the treatment of plants to use any food and drinks;
• it is impossible to handle garden crops by any remedies: adaptations with watering can, hoses, brooms, etc.;
• processing potatoes from the beetle is best in dry weather when there is no wind on the street. The best time for spraying is an early morning or evening;
• processing we produce a special sprayer;
• after completing the work, you need to remove your clothes and devices, rinse the sprayer under running water, wash clothes, face and hands well wash with soap, and then go to the bathroom to take a shower;
• after spraying with chemicals, it is impossible to be located on a plot within 1-2 days. Even weeds executed immediately after spraying, it is forbidden to give pets;
• if there are evidence with bees on the site, then they need to remove them to a safe distance. It is believed that bees will not die if they are located at a distance of at least 5 km from the processing zone. A week later, the hives can be returned to the place. If it is not possible to remove the evidence with bees, then they need to be isolate;
• we produce at least 30 days before harvesting.

Folk remedies for processing potatoes

If there is no desire to use Yadohimikati, you can try to treat a small area of \u200b\u200bthe area safe for garden crops and insects by the Biological preparation "Bitoksibatsillin". This drug is widely used in many countries of the world, starting from the period of mass appearance of pest larvae. We prepare this solution: 10 liters of water takes 200 g of the drug. Per 100 meters ² It is necessary to spend no more than 4 l liquids. First processing - when they noticed the mass appearance of larvae and many adults. The drug can easily cope with the Colorado Bucket, it will destroy adult individuals and almost completely - larvae. Next processing must be repeated in 2 weeks.

There is another 1 interesting method that can be attributed to the category of safe. The special breed of chickens "Faverol" is able to easily deliver a plot from pests. To do this, you need to start teaching chickens to feed with an admixture of crushed raw potatoes and tops. So, chickens are gradually taught to the smell of plants. Starting from monthly age, you need to add scratch-extermined in powder every day. Each day the dose of bait needs to be increased. Already at 3 months of age, young chickens are released on the plot hungry so that they independently have had food. As a result, the chickens eat almost all beetles on plants. This can be done only under the condition that the potatoes were previously processed by pesticides.

Agrotechnical techniques in the fight against the colorado beetle - when non-pests for pests of potatoes are planted on the site. For example, "Gatchinsky", "Early Belarusian", "Zubtnok", "Spark", "Zhukovsky", "table". But here you need to understand that there is no such variety of potatoes, which will bypass the beetle.

Any decoctions and infusions on the water can scare the pests. To justify expectations and get rid of Colorado beetles, it is necessary to respect care measures, the same as when working with poisonous substances. Cooking broths need to immediately prior to treatment, and 10 days later to repeat the spraying again.

What to treat potatoes from pests:

1. Field hat and dandelion. We take in equal proportions of the dandelion and the hat, fill with water, put on fire and wait when the mixture will boil. Cool, filter and take half a liter of the ragger on 1 bucket of water.
2. We are preparing a decoction of Cepurela. We put in the bucket dry cleanliness, the rambling as much as possible. Pour stems with water, put on fire. We wait for the mixture will boil, after which it is cooled, focusing on 10 liters of clean water we use 500 ml of concentrated beam.
3. Well helps in the fight against the beetle of infusion of ash with wormwood. To do this, we take only fresh wormwood (200 g), crushing, add 200 g of wood ash without impurities, pour boiling water and insist for 3 hours. After that, the mixture should be mixed and strain. This liquid spray bushes, you can use the method of pollination of pure ash (do not forget that it must be pre-samped). A few days later, not only beetles will die, but also larvae. And after a week, not a single beetle will remain on the landings.
4. Garlic and tomatoes in the fight against Colorado Beetles. We take 3 kg of tomato tops, pour 10 liters of hot water, boiling for half an hour. When the decoction is enjoying, filtering. 2 liters of decoction mix with 10 liters of water and add 40 g rubbed into a small grater of the household soap.
5. You can make the infusion of garlic for spraying the plant: out of 200 g of heads or arrows (need to crumple) and 10 liters of water we prepare a solution for spraying, add a household chopped soap (40 g) before use.
6. In the autumn time of the year, when the harvest is assembled and the tops are burned, we do not give the beetle to go into the soil to winter. We shove the beetle like this: we fold the young barbell, spray with a chicken litter solution.

Let's sum up: the mechanical way to combat the beetles - the occupation of time consuming. Suitable for small in size. Biological substances prevail in the fight against pests. They will not harm their useful insects, animals and man, and in garden crops are preserved all useful substances. As a result of the use of such drugs, you can get rid of pests and get environmental pure potatoes. Of the minuses, we note that the drugs do not act on the larvae, so the beetles may appear again and need to repeat the processing again.

Folk methods are always harmless, but not always effective. Beetles gradually adapt to different preparations and cease to be afraid. Therefore, in the fight against the Colorado Bucket, you need to constantly change ways of destruction and drugs, and then you can count on success.
