Viburnum treatment for aphids: an irreplaceable salvation from pests

This medicinal plant is a wonderful decoration for the garden both during flowering and fruiting. Since it is a favorite delicacy of many pests, the treatment of viburnum from aphids will help to protect the culture as much as possible from their influence. Then, in the middle of a frosty winter, the gardener will be able to enjoy the beautiful view of crimson berries under the snow cover.

Insects, for the most part, infect the foliage of the plant, eating it. Because of this, the berry does not receive enough nutrients from the environment. Its fruits diminish and it itself is depleted.

Timely treatment of viburnum from aphids

A gardener should always have a special sprayer in his arsenal - a useful and convenient thing at a summer cottage. Thanks to the extended holder, the worker will be able to penetrate deep into the bush or get to its highest point. The device sprays liquid economically but efficiently.

During the flowering period, whole colonies of aphids are under the brushes. Most often pests completely stick to the stems and leaves, thereby depriving the culture of adequate nutrition. They also infect young one-year-old shoots. To feed themselves, insects begin to feed on plant sap. This leads to the fact that the leaves curl up, protecting their "conquerors". Therefore, it is extremely difficult to get to such places. Experienced gardeners recommend cutting off the affected shoot. Then new branches will depart from it in the future, and the bush will become more curly. But with regular processing of viburnum from aphids, insect pests will appear on it much less often.

It is almost impossible to eliminate the enemy with the help of herbal preparations. Either they are already used to such weak means, or experts advise completely inappropriate options. For this reason, many gardeners use chemicals.

Transition to spraying

First, according to the instructions, strongly acting insecticides of chemical origin are bred. Then the entire crown is sprayed. Particular attention is paid to inflorescences. During this period, it is not too late to process them, since the flowers that are at the edges are sterile. They do not set berries, but only serve to attract pollinators. Among other things, during such a procedure, it is important to use protective equipment:

• glasses;
• mask;
• gloves.

These vapors can cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract as well as the skin. Failure to comply with safety rules will lead to the development of allergies. As a result, the treatment of viburnum from aphids will be a salvation for her, and an incurable disease for a gardener.
