In a note it is a question of the insects destroying wreckers of plants it is better and safer, than it is done by chemical means of protection of plants.

Reaping a crop on the site, many truck farmers find out that they have competitors. Wreckers of plants, unfortunately, too hurry sobrat a tribute from our beds. The abundance of chemical means of protection of plants on sale, apparently, should solve long ago all problems ogorodnikov, however to apply pesticides on the hundred parts not to everyone it would be desirable. Mnoyogiye amateur vegetable growers in general refuse flatly chemistry, nadeyas it is often simple on "perhaps" and without knowing that for wreckers there is something, someone is more true, more terribly, than intavir, decis and karbofos – it is their estestyovenny enemies: predators and parasites.
What representatives of fauna are so terrible for wreckers of a kitchen garden? For the insects living and harming in the soil, the special peril is represented by parasitic nematodes of the sort Mermis – microscopic worms who get in a body of an insect and breed there. In rezultate the insect perishes in days two after infection. Razmnozhivshiesya nematodes creep out of a dead insect to the soil where are capable zarazhat the new victim. If number of nematodes in the soil rather high, harm from provolochnik, cabbage flies and other soil wreckers is minimum. At institute of protection of plants biological preparations on the basis of such nematodes are created.
In the soil there lives also large number of types of predatory ground beetles – phaeochrous mobile bugs who destroy soil and land wreckers. At perekopke soils they often catch sight to us and, unfortunately, are so often destroyed – gardeners and truck farmers pochemu consider them harmful. To take these bugs in hands after all it is not necessary – at danger they allocate caustic smelly liquid.
At the wreckers of a kitchen garden living on listyakhrasteny, too is vragi. Ladybugs – tireless isyotrebitel of plant louses, and xishhnichayut not only bugs, but also larvae use special popularity. If red bug with points on wing sheaths the child learns even, larvae it for some reason cause suspicion in adults: dark gray mobile with krasyony points and the larva of a ladybug deprived of wings often prinimayut for a larva of the Colorado beetle. Gets to the dolls of ladybugs who are openly hanging on wide leaves of potatoes even more. And after all one ladybug for the life (at all stages of development) can eat to 1000 plant louses. And one female of this insect can postpone to 600 eggs.
Together with a ladybug plant louses are attacked by predatory larvae of flies-sirfid, or a zhurchalok. These flies saw all – they on coloring are similar to wasps and are frequenters of flowers. Larvae remind them small bloodsuckers who creep on colonies of plant louses, exhausting one behind one. Vysayozhivy on a site a melliferous rastetsiya, the truck farmer can involve a large number of useful insects, among which both flies-sirfidy, and paraziyotichesky equestrians, and the lacewings devouring plant louses and many other naseyokomykh-wreckers.
It is necessary to tell some words about ants. Their presence on a site of the mnoyogy irritates, and not without justification. These insects in literal sense cultivate plant louses, protect them from predators, and for the winter carry away in a muraveyyonik. Plant louses, as we know, feed ants with sweet vydeleniye of the body. Along with it, ants destroy a large number of other insects who are mostly harmful. So value of ants on a site is difficult ocenit unequivocally. And if to take into consideration, what to fight against them prakticheski it is useless, it is better to leave simply these insects alone. As it is difficult to estimate presence on a site of wasps. The larvae they vykarmlivayut the caught and chewed insects, including, and vredyony. However the neighbourhood with these stinging pereponchatokryly is quite dangerous, after all they suit nests more often directly in the house, and that will be with you if to disturb rest a family aspen, it is easy to present.
Thus, gardeners and truck farmers should know, what not everyone naseyokomy, living on a bed – the wrecker, and natural enemies destroy wreckers often more effectively, than people can make it.
