Aphids often annoy gardeners and gardeners. She sucks the juice from the leaves and thereby destroys the planting. The pest starts not only in areas. He attacks and domestic flowers. To deal with it effectively, you should know where aphids come from on plants.
How aphids appear in areas
Many are faced with the "invader" in summer cottages and gardens. Once warm weather sets in, young leaves and tree shoots and plantings are attacked aphids. It seems that it appears from nowhere.
But infection occurs in two ways:
- She is being carried different types of ants.
- New individuals hatch from eggs wintering in tree trunks.
In the cold season, ants carry aphids and their eggs from plants into their nest, so that it does not die from frost and an icy wind. With the onset of warm days, foragers plant their "pets" on young leaves and begin to graze, zealously guarding the "feed base" from ladybirds. Aphids can appear on any plants and seedlings.
Interesting!
Little workers feed on the paddy, the lope secreted by the plant louse. They tickle the antennae of the aphids with their antennae, and she gives them a drop of a sweet drink.
If there are too many insatiable pests on a tree or shrub, then working ants begin to spread them to other fruit crops and weeds. So thanks to the efforts of a garden species, aphids appear on plants.
But the insect is able to independently take care of the continuation of a kind. Females hatch from eggs and reproduce new offspring. In mid-summer, winged females and males appear from the next masonry. They fly to other plants and lay eggs in the bark of trees and shrubs that must survive the winter.
With the onset of heat from the masonry, new individuals are shown. The cycle repeats again.
Most affected by aphid invasion:
- fruit trees (including Apple tree, pear, plum and cherry);
- roses;
- currant;
- cucumbers;
- tomatoes;
- pepper;
- cabbage;
- viburnum;
- dill;
- raspberries.
How does aphid appear on home flowers
Pests Spread Over indoor plants. This happens in the warm season, when gardeners send "pets" to the balcony - and they are attacked by winged individuals.
On a note!
Aphids are not able to fly high. Therefore, residents of the first and second floors are more likely to encounter an insect. Sometimes the wind helps the parasite. He picks it up and transfers it to other leaves.
But this is not the only way for the pest to enter the apartment. Formed by aphids in the following ways:
- flies through open windows and doors;
- brought by people on their clothes and shoes;
- gets into the house with other plants, bouquets of flowers.
All purchased potted flowers are processed. shop chemicals or home infusions and they are kept in quarantine for 2-3 weeks, and the bouquets of wildflowers collected in a field or forest are placed away from houseplants.
Aphids multiply rapidly and spread through plants. From weeds, she crawls onto trees, bushes and fruit crops. In this, foragers often help her. To protect the garden, you need to fight not only with aphids, but also with anthills.
