How to prepare decoctions and infusions against pests
Now very many try to grow crops with minimal use of chemical protection of plants from pest infestation. First, pesticides are expensive, and secondly, they are far from harmless, since toxic substances accumulate in the soil. I want to share folk recipes and methods against pests, which I do with my own hands and use from year to year in my garden.
Against the wireworm
It is very difficult to get rid of the larvae of beetles from the family of nutcrackers. Thin and flexible, they, as an awl, drill rhizomes, root crops, bulbs, potato tubers. Of the weeds, wheatgrass rhizomes are most loved. Therefore, the first way to deal with a pest is to carefully weed the garden.
The neutral soil does not like the pest larva, and if it is acidic, lime or dolomite flour should be added to it. And if you add potassium chloride, it will strengthen the effect.
And you can completely get rid of wireworms with the help of baits. For this, in June, I lay out a bunch of freshly mown grass, where the click beetles are picked to lay eggs. There will be more of them if we put shiny glass here. It is only necessary to inspect baits more often and to destroy pests.

Against the Colorado potato beetle
With this insidious pest I struggle so. Digging in the forest rhizome elecampane (this raw material, by the way, you can buy in the pharmacy), pour 150 g chopped roots 10 l water, boil and I insist for 24 hours. In dry weather, I spray the tops. As a result, the number of beetles and their larvae sharply decreases.
All the potato beds I plant with beans. The beetle does not tolerate such a neighborhood. This also makes it possible to obtain a crop of two crops from one plot.
Against the bear
It's harder to get rid of this large insect. I have tried, as it seems to me, the most effective way. We need to steal 200 g of wheat grains in a water bath, then impregnate this "porridge" with chlorophos and moisten with sunflower oil. After 6-hour exposure, I dig in poisonous grains in places where the tracks of the bear are seen. Trying such a bait, the bear gets out, where he dies. It is necessary to collect dead insects and burn them.
Against the onion fly
This insect lays eggs on the soil or on dry scales of onions. Out of them come out larvae, which destroy onion planting. To some extent, early planting and sowing are saved from their invasion.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to combat this pest is to use salt. I am preparing the following solution: in 10 liters of water I dissolve a glass of salt and water the row spacing of beds, trying not to get on the feather. The first time I do this, when the leaves reach a length of 5 cm, then I repeat the procedure every 20 days. Onions will be fresh and green until the fall.
When a fly emerges, the soil is sprinkled with a repellent mixture consisting of ash, tobacco dust and black ground pepper, taken in equal amounts. It is enough to do this twice with an interval of two weeks. After processing for four days I am digging the soil to a depth of 2-3,
Against the cruciferous flea
These insects damage not only cabbage, but also radish, turnip, radish. To scare them off, it's good to plant tomatoes, garlic and onions next to these crops.
In the mornings, once a week, I spray the planting with infusion of garlic, tomato tops, potatoes or I spend pollinating with a mixture of wood ash and lime-pushers. It is necessary to take a glass of both, be sure to sift, mix and through a double layer of gauze to spray on the plants.
I also prepare a special solution. I take a glass of garlic, stepsons and leaves of tomato, as well as potato leaves, all this is chopped and pours 10 l of warm water. Then stir, filter, add 1 st. l. liquid (or green, tar, household) soap and spray the plants.
Against the cabbage worms
Against these pests I am preparing such a remedy: for 100 parts of water - 3 parts of salt and 2 parts of lime (by volume). With this white "milk" I spray the cabbage with a broom. This method is not harmful to plants. It is better to carry out such a procedure in the evening every 3-4 days, until the worms cease to bother cabbage.
Against aphids and leaf-eating pests
It is necessary to take about 5 kg fresh potato leaves (or 2 kg dried), pour 10 l of water, boil for 30 minutes, insist night, strain and dilute with water three times, and then add one of the above types of soap.
You can also use the same truly universal wood ash. 300 g raw materials need to be sifted, pour boiling water and boil 20 minutes. When it settles, strain and add up to 10 l of water.

Against melons and gourds
This pest sucks the juices from the leaves, shoots, ovaries and flowers of pumpkin cultures, because of what they wrinkle and twist. To fight this enemy of plants, I collect onions all the winter long. 200 g of this raw material pour 10 l of water, I insist for two days. 1 l of working fluid is consumed at 10 mg.
Very good help to get rid of this pest mustard infusion -100 g per 10 l water.
And the infusion of the roots of the celandine "works" not only against the melon aphid, but also against such a dangerous pest of cucumbers as tripe. I take 100 g of dry roots, I insist for two days in 1 l of water, and then I spray the plants.
The beds, where cabbage grows (of various species, but especially color), should be very densely sprinkled around the perimeter and around the plants with eggshells. It helps with slugs.

A real "bomb" for all kinds of pests of the garden and garden is a mixture that is prepared from several components used in everyday life.
You need to take a few bubbles: birch tar (40 ml), iodine (10 ml), fir oil (30 ml), ammonia solution, or as it is called ammonia (10 ml), and 10 g boric acid pre-dissolve in 100 ml of hot water. All this should be poured 10 l of water and spray fruit trees, berry and ornamental shrubs, flower and garden crops.
In use, it is advisable to protect the respiratory system with a respirator so as not to inhale ammonia vapor. Simultaneously, the agent serves as a foliar feeding of plants with microelements.

Ants do great harm to garden crops. They settle where there is more heat - in greenhouses, greenhouses and under covering materials.
The most harmless and safe method of combating these insects is the use of boric acid. 1 tsp powder should be dissolved in 200 ml of water and shed the places of accumulation of ants. There will be a double benefit from this: the expulsion of insects for which boric acid is poison, and plant nutrition as an important trace element for them.

Sour cabbage helps cabbage growing in the garden, get rid of caterpillars. When the flight of the Butterflies starts, I do so.
Strongly peroxidized sauerkraut (1 kg) pour 3 l of water, I insist 3-5 days, filter, add a liquid tar soap and spray the planting.
For the butterfly-cabbage butter I also prepare a thick sugar syrup, which I pour into small and shallow containers and arrange around the beds on the supports to make them higher. For this I use halves of rectangular paving slabs. In each vessel I throw a pinch of dry yeast. The peculiar smell of fermentation attracts whitewashes, "pecking" at the bait, they simply stick to the surface and can not fly.
And the harvest of cherries, cherries, irgs, I save from the invasion of forty and other birds, having hung on the branches old CDs for the ropes in them. A bright light reflecting surface repels the birds.
Peas and calendula, planted along the edges of potato plots, do not give the Colorado beetle a go. The same role in relation to the majority of pests is played by the marigolds, which are located along the perimeter of the beds with garden strawberries.

If planting cucumbers suffer pests, protect them!
For example, a greenhouse whitefly sucks juice from leaves. Damaged leaves turn black and dry. The main method of combating it is the destruction of weeds. Doors and windows should be covered with gauze.
There will be an effect from washing the lower part of the leaves on which insects collect. After this procedure, loosen and sprinkle with sawdust, peat or humus.
Melon horn affects flowers, ovaries and shoots. Appears usually in the second half of the summer. Transfers to cucumbers from weeds. Therefore, it is important to destroy wild plants here.
Against the pest, spraying with bitter red pepper is effective. 30 g freshly chopped peppers and 200 g tobacco dust mixed with 10 liters of hot water. The infusion is left for a day and filtered.
Then add 1 art. l. liquid soap and 2-3 art. l. wood ash.
Downy powdery mildew can affect the plant at any stage of its development. The cause of this disease can be a sudden change of temperature, cold rain or watering with cold water. In this case, you should stop all fertilizing and watering for a week, ventilate the greenhouse and spray the plants with a solution of copper sulfate.

The garden strawberries on my site were so overpowered by pests that I decided to say goodbye to this culture. But the case helped. On the way to the dacha, the traveling companion told how to restore the plant health.
Chemistry saves strawberry mite for a short while, and bushes of the second year give a very modest harvest of tasteless berries.
On the advice of an unfamiliar woman, I poured plantings with a solution of coniferous extract. If this is not possible, you can collect in the forest coniferous needles in such a quantity that it is enough to generously pour under each bush. Frankly, I did not expect such a healing effect. Strawberries after such a “treat” grew to the delight of everyone - large and very tasty.
