Unfortunately, even for fluffy evergreen Christmas trees and other coniferous plants attack pests, and fighting with them is just as relevant as on any other plants. The means used to destroy parasites are in many respects similar to those used in flower and vegetable crops.
Preparations for pest control of coniferous plants
Spraying of coniferous trees from pests is carried out mainly in the warm season. Depending on the size of the plant, either a large or a small sprayer can be used.
Lozhnoshitovka
Like the true scabbard, this insect is omnipresent and with pleasure settles on the coniferous, hitting the needles. After that, they look plastered with sticky, whitish discharge of spherical form. This is the shield of insects, which, unlike conventional scabbards, is of circular shape. The "Aktara" remedy is successfully used for the extermination of insects.
Hermes
Like the scabbards, these insects, covered with whitish down, are located on each branch. After the sooty layers appear, which significantly reduce the ornamentality of plants. Parallel to the weakened tree can attack fungal diseases and without proper treatment it will die. To avoid the worst scenario, it is recommended to spray with "Commander" or "Aktara".
Spider mite
Very intractable insects are spider mites, which first entwine with a white spider web tree, and after that the fruits of its activity become visible - the tick feeds on the juice from the soft needles of the current year, and over time they become brown and dry up. Particularly affected trees in arid years. For processing use "Fitoverm", "Apollo", "Actellik", "Oberon" and others.
Sawfly
Adult individuals are not harmful to plants, but their larvae, or rather caterpillars are very voracious and completely eat young pine needles, leaving bare branches. The means of combating this scourge include "Bi-58", "Decis" and "Actellik" .
