If you’ve ever grown berries, you know they’re delicious – but they can harbor some pretty nasty pests. These tiny critters can destroy a berry patch in no time. That is, unless you get a handle on the problem early on with a few simple pesticides for strawberries. Here are your options for keeping dangerous pests at bay and maximizing your fruiting season. Chemical pesticides are widely used for controlling pests on agricultural farmland and horticultural crops, but the continuous use of such chemicals cause an increasing concern about potential risk to human health, as well as damage to the environment.Pest control is essential in a strawberry field to protect the yield. There are many methods of controlling pests and insects, including preventive measures and pesticides.
Natural Pesticide For Strawberries
What You Will Need
And now, you’re ready to begin. In a spray bottle, combine 2/3 water with 1/3 vegetable oil (or distilled white vinegar). Add 5-6 drops of liquid soap, and then fill the bottle the rest of the way with water. Shake well before each use, and spray over any leafy areas where you’ve noticed pest activity. This organic pesticide can be used throughout spring through summer when pests visit your strawberry patch.
Making the Spray
- Place the peppers in a clean glass or ceramic bowl.
- Pour the water into the bowl and allow the peppers to soak for about two hours.
- Add the garlic cloves, crushed wasp nest and soap flakes to the water and mix well. The mixture will begin to smell wonderful at this point! Allow the solution to sit overnight.
- The next morning, strain out solids by pouring through a strainer lined with cheesecloth into a spray bottle (or any other container with a narrow opening). Add more water if necessary so that you can shake it up easily when applying later on!
Using the Spray
The spray should be applied to the plant every 3-4 days. To do this, you should:
- Spray the leaves and fruit of the strawberry plant with the spray
- Apply it in the morning on a dry day
- Spray thoroughly
A natural pesticide spray can be a good alternative to using commercial pesticides.
Pesticides can be a great tool in the home gardener’s arsenal. However, there are many reasons why you might prefer to avoid using pesticides. For one thing, pesticides pose health risks both to the plants and people who consume them. On top of that, they can also harm wildlife in your garden and pollute groundwater supplies. Pesticides can also be expensive and inconvenient to apply.
Finally, some pesticides may even work against you by making your plants more vulnerable to disease or pests without actually killing them outright! That’s where natural pesticide sprays come into play: they’re safer for both people and the environment than many commercial options available today—and some even work better than chemical-based sprays at controlling pest populations in your garden!
