    In winter, black bugs started up in bean stocks. Will it be possible to plant pristine beans? How to make sure the seeds are not damaged?

      - Most likely, we are talking about a caryopsis, a small copper-brown bug that damages beans, more rarely, nuts, peas, peas, lentils, horse beans and soy.
      Untouched beans can be planted. To make sure they are whole, drop the beans into a container of cold water for 3-5 minutes. If they have bugs, they will float to the surface.
      In the future, to protect plants from pests, follow four simple rules:

      - remove weeds on time;
      - plant beans when the soil warms up to +10 deg., Do not wait for tangible heat;
      - Do not bring manure directly under the beans, but use it under the predecessor or in early autumn;
      - before planting, hold the beans for an hour in water, a growth promoter or a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

    We gardener know the meadow moth "in the face"! Modest grayish insects are harmless, they eat nectar and do not live long. But their caterpillars are extremely voracious and almost omnivorous.

    They enjoy eating the hard leaves of those plants that other pests neglect: beets, sunflowers, corn, cereals. And the drier and hotter the weather, the stronger the appetite of the caterpillars. The worst thing is the periods of mass reproduction of the insect. When they fly, they look like snow flakes, which is why the meadow moth is also called a snowstorm.
    Since moths and their offspring live not only in vegetable plants, but also in natural meadows, it is impossible to avoid the appearance of a pest. No matter how you look after the garden, insects will fly from the side. But prevention is necessary. For example, hibernating cocoons in the soil die during digging with the turnover of the formation, with early spring harrowing. Cocoons of the summer generation perish when loosening rows.
    In general, the fight with the plague is due to the fact of appearance. It is necessary to inspect the landing, destroying manually the caterpillars and masonry. If the pest multiplies massively, it will be necessary to resort to chemicals.
