What plants on the site are considered a “nursery” for aphids

0

One of the most common pests on the site is aphid. It is incalculable and, despite its size, causes colossal damage to the economy. Surprisingly, in some cases, summer residents themselves invite this pest to settle in their garden. Let's talk about it. Aphids will certainly appear after you dare to plant these three plants on your plot.

Black elderberry

The berries of this plant are used more often in folk medicine, and even in individual cases. Elderberry blooms in beautiful bunches.

Rarely any gardener plants this plant – mostly it is a wild bush. And it is from the elder tree that an aphid infestation can begin.

It is useless to spray the tree in this case and most often the elder tree is mercilessly cut down.

Roses

The next place where the aphid will move to, if destroy the elder, there will be a rose. Hardly anyone would dare to cut down an entire bush in order to fight a pest.

But the trouble is that the pest does not make a choice between varieties and often settles on the tops of young shoots in the bud area.

That is why it is so important to process the rose garden.

Viburnum

Viburnum berries are good for the body, but it makes sense to look for a safer alternative. The fact is that the aphid not only feeds on the juices of this bush, it also winters on the viburnum.

Therefore, the real nursery of the aphid and its offspring is the viburnum, and if vegetable and fruit crops grow next to it, and especially tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and umbrellas, then 100% of the aphid settles in the bed.

If there is nowhere without a viburnum, it makes sense to transplant it outside the garden and vegetable garden.
