Aphids attack plants and feed on their sap until they die. It is important that these insects are eliminated as soon as possible, creating a substance that can also thwart their arrival. Experts advise against the use of a chemical insecticide because it not only pollutes the environment, but it could also have a devastating domino effect on the plant itself. For this reason, nurseries recommend a type of natural fertilizer, to be prepared with an ingredient that is also a great protagonist in the kitchen.
Because aphids are dangerous for plants
Plant lice – also known as aphids – are small insects that can have different colors depending on the type. There are greens and blacks, as well as some types that affect different favorite plants.
Their reproduction is very rapid, which is why it is important to immediately notice their presence on the plant before they even lay their eggs. These little lice affect many crops and there are up to 3,000 different types in the wild. It is estimated that their favorite crops are ornamental plants like roses or vegetables ranging from zucchini to tomatoes, then cauliflower and peppers.
The attack is facilitated in most cases by a very young culture and a mild ambient temperature. The damage they cause is innumerable, both direct and indirect on neighboring plants.
