What does he enjoy in Borovice?
It does not have to be pests causing calamities in our forests, it is enough for voracious caterpillars to target your garden. While various pests attacking fruit trees and ornamental plants are relatively well mapped and every gardener at least suspects what his greenery can lurk, we often do not know much about pests on conifers.
Even conifers can suffer and is definitely not just a hated bark beetle. Pine trees specialize in the caterpillars of the wrapper, which eat needles and decimate the shoots and buds on the tree.
Pine also tastes greatly Ryšavá ridge, which is primarily infamous in North America under the literally translated name European pine pilatka. Yes, in America, it is an unwelcome visitor from Europe, just like we say Mandelinka as an American beetle. This ridge of red -rated Americans causes considerable damage and its occurrence is monitored by various universities that also help in the fight against pests.
In our Borovice you can also find a bite of a dark -boyfriend, which typically occurs every ten years. The moth of the sosnocaz is also not known, and it is clear from its name that it certainly does not benefit pines. Like Bourova pine, which is a relatively large moth with a wingspan of up to 8 cm and very voracious caterpillars.
How to intervene against caterpillars?
These caterpillars are very similar for the non -professor. Until they destroy a larger amount of needles in pine trees, they often do not even notice them. However, if you already had the honor, be sure to intervene in early spring.
Many of these species of insects in different stages of development survive in the Hrabka under the trees. If you had a conifer with fallen or yellowed with some branches last year, definitely rake well and burn all organic waste under the trees.
Insecticides specially designed for conifers are used to fight these types of pests. Products such as Mospilan, Carneo are also recommended, but in gardening shops and hobby markets you will find many other products. Apply the spraying according to the instructions. Some insecticides are used repeatedly and have a preventive effect, others are applied in one dose to detect occurrence. In general, these are products against “absorbent and voracious”.
If the caterpillars appear on your trees, you are ruthlessly destroyed, but never touch them. Some species have hairs that strongly irritate the skin.
