Common insect pests of Clivia
Yellowing leaves and stagnant growth are common problems in clivia maintenance, and the threat of pests is often ignored. This paper systematically analyzes the characteristics of three typical insect pests and eradication plans to help growers achieve precise control. Clivia Pest Diagnosis and Solutions Underground Pest: Earthworms destroy the root system Earthworms invade through holes in the bottom of the basin, and their burrowing behavior causes damage to the soil structure. The victim plants show as follows: 1. 0.5 cm particulate feces appeared on the surface of the basin soil 2. Emergency treatment: ·Prepare a 1:800 dichlorvos emulsion solution·Irrigation twice in a row at an interval of 7 days·Cooperate with bamboo sticks to manually turn the soil and check for pests in branches and leaves: scale insects invade the insect and gather on the back of the leaves, secreting honey dew to induce coal pollution disease. Prevention and control points: 1. Use a soft bristle brush to physically remove at the beginning. 2. For severe infections, spray with Bizhi Medicine 3. Strengthen ventilation to reduce recurrence rate Seasonal pests: Red spider outbreaks are prone to occur in high temperature and dry environments. Characteristics: ·Yellow spots appear on the leaves·Red spider webs visible on the back of the leaves. Control combination: 1. Leaf spray morning and evening to moisturize 2. Alternate use of abamectin/pyridaben 3. Isolating sick plants to prevent spread and pest control must follow the principles of "early detection, accurate identification, and rapid treatment." It is recommended to carry out monthly: -Inspection of the front and back sides of the leaf surface-observation of the loosening of soil-regulation of environmental temperature and humidity combined with physical removal and chemical control, and establishment of a pest warning system can reduce the incidence of pests by 90%.
