Onion peel against spider mites
INfusion of ONION HUSK AGAINST TICK ON CUCUMBERS
The spider mite pierces the leaves and sucks the juice out of them. First, light dots appear on the leaves, then they become larger, forming spots, discolor. And severely damaged leaves turn yellow and dry.
With the onset of warm weather with high temperatures and high humidity, spider mites may appear on cucumber plants. It is located mainly on the underside of the leaves, creating a web on their surface.
An infusion of onion peel helps me fight this pest.
I cook it like this: 200 g of dry onion peel pour 10 liters of warm water, insist 6 days, filter, add 40 g of laundry soap. And then I spray the plants, especially the underside of the leaves.
I repeat the treatments if necessary, but not earlier than after 10 days. In addition, in the fall, after harvesting, I remove all plant residues with the roots and burn them, and remove the top layer of soil with a thickness of at least 5 cm.
FOLK MEANS OF THE FIGHT AGAINST THE SPIDER MITE
TRIPLE IMPACT ON THE SPIDER MITE
A spider mite in the country can appear anywhere: in the garden, and on vegetable beds. At my neighbor, this pest even made its way into the flower garden. The most unpleasant thing is that it quickly develops immunity to any kind of poison. A neighbor discovered a spider mite when watering - the flowers below were covered with cobwebs, and this is a clear sign of the appearance of a pest. She took emergency measures: she washed each plant with soapy water (1 part liquid soap to 10 parts water) and rinsed with clean water.
I try in advance, back in the spring, to treat the plantings with protective preparations. And for the summer I prepare three different natural compositions so that the pests do not have time to get used to them.
For June: pour 100 g of onion peel with 5 liters of water, leave for 5 days, strain and generously spray the leaves.
For July: pour 5 chopped heads of garlic with 5 liters of water, leave for 5 days, strain and process the plants.
For August: pour 500 g of crushed dandelion leaves with 5 liters of boiling water, leave for a week, strain and spray the leaves 2 times (morning and evening).
Such monthly treatments help prevent the reproduction of spider mites. And they do not harm the plants at all!

A friend suggested that an infusion of Persian chamomile helps against spider mites, aphids, thrips, scale insects and mealybugs. Crushed flowers (100 g) pour 1 liter of water for 12 hours, then strain. For 1 liter of water, take 5 ml of infusion and 4 g of green soap, mix and spray the plants. Wash with warm water after 24 hours. Is this remedy effective?

From scale insects and a worm, such an infusion is useless. It can only help against aphids and to some extent from thrips. However, I am confused by the concentration. I think that it will be more effective if you take 20-30 g of dry pyrethrum powder per 1 liter of boiling water. Brew, cool, strain and immediately sprinkle with green soap. Can be enhanced with tobacco dust.
From a tick, pyrethroids do not work well. They are used only as an additional, secondary component or for containment. If you still use the recipe suggested by your friend, then you do not need to dilute the infusion.

In the greenhouse last summer, the lashes of cucumbers dried and turned yellow. On the leaves, we could make out a barely noticeable spider web, and then microscopic mites. They sprinkled the leaves with tobacco dust, but some of the bushes withered anyway. What are the remedies for ticks so that it is not harmful to eat cucumbers?

To combat ticks, you can use the biological preparation MatrinBio. It is created on the basis of the natural active ingredient matrin, obtained from plants of the genus Sophora, similar to acacia. The drug is detrimental to pests at different stages of development and destroys the eggs of mites, which is important to prevent their re-proliferation. The last processing of plants is possible in 3 days, therefore MatrinBio is used even on fast-maturing and green crops. The drug is safe when used in greenhouses, and due to its versatility, it destroys many pests: aphids, thrips, whiteflies, cutworms, leafworms, cabbage moths and whiteflies, cruciferous fleas, onion fly, asparagus leaf beetle, etc. Protection of the drug lasts up to two weeks .
