FIND AND DISARM TRIPS

TRIPS ON FLOWERS

Favorite thrips plants, which they settle on first of all, - hibiscus, bougainvillea and spathiphyllum. These cultures, as an indicator, immediately notify about the beginning of infection. Over time, I learned to quickly respond to the appearance of an intruder..

HOW TO DETECT

Thrips feeds on plant cell sap - silvery tracks from sucked cells appear on the foliage. Likes to settle on the underside of leaves, in buds and flowers.

EFFECTIVE DRUGS FOR TRIPS IN FLOWERS

You need to fight thrips only with systemic drugs.. Since the insect can fly away during processing, and after the leaves have dried, it will start eating again. I think the most effective means are "Aktara" and "Confidor". I water the plants with them at the root.

ONE TREATMENT FROM TRIPS IS LITTLE

At ambient temperature +20-25 city, processing is carried out 1 times in 7 days. If higher +25 city., thrips life cycle is accelerated and needs to be processed more often - 1 times in 5 days. Usually, to get rid of the trips, enough 3-4 procedures.

ADDITIONAL FLOWER TRIPS CONTROL MEASURES

In addition to irrigation with a systemic drug, I remove all affected flowers and buds from the plants. Also, to reduce the population, before processing, I wash the crown with soap or just under the shower. I also use phytosprays. After spraying, I put the plant in a bag and tie it tightly.

I'm divorcing the "actor" 1,4 g for 2 liters of water. After three times watering with the solution, I immerse insecticidal sticks in the ground. They act as fertilizer and insecticide 3 months.
