plant aphids
They act by feeding on the sap of the plant, reducing the fruit to the point of removing all the nutritional and energy resources which lead to its death. That’s not all, the honey substance they produce and which is released on the plant encourages the growth of fungi to create a domino effect with other types of damage over time.
Natural fertilizer against aphids: just one ingredient is enough
It is important to counter the attack, not allow them to lay their eggs (remembering that they are very quick to do so) and then go and eliminate those already present. A chemical insecticide is better to opt for the natural one, which not only acts against lice, but gives the plant the necessary nourishment to survive.
Garlic against aphids
The ingredients needed for DIY natural fertilizer are:
1 liter of water
5 cloves of garlic
Proceed by letting the garlic cloves macerate in a container for at least 24 hours. Immediately afterwards, the mixture must be poured into a saucepan with a liter of water, letting it boil for 20/25 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let cool, then pour the solution into a spray bottle.
The natural garlic-based insecticide should be sprayed on the plant, up to twice a day. It eliminates not only aphids, but also caterpillars – ants – red spiders and mealybugs. Its properties will also be an excellent food for the plant.
