What is the small green insect on the rose plant?
During the cultivation of roses, the small green insects on the plants are actually aphids. They pierce the epidermis of the plant to absorb its sap, causing the plant to turn yellow and die, and easily lead to sooty mold disease. In the early stage of aphid infection, they can be removed with a brush. During the outbreak, pyrethrin solution or laundry detergent water can be sprayed for prevention and control.
The small green insects on roses are aphids, which are typical piercing-sucking pests and one of the most common pests on roses. Similar to mosquitoes sucking blood, they pierce the plant epidermis to absorb the sap, harming the leaves and stems of the plant.
After being sucked by aphids, the parts on the roses will show deformities, and in severe cases, it can lead to the plant turning yellow and dying. Moreover, during the process of sucking, aphids can produce germs that easily cause sooty mold disease.
1. Physical removal
Aphids will adhere to the surface of the roses, so when roses are infected with aphids, they can be directly removed with a toothpick or brush. This method is only suitable for the early stage of the disease and cannot be completely removed. Once the aphids outbreak, the workload of this method is too high and the effect is general.
2. Chemical control
During the outbreak of aphids, it is recommended to use chemicals directly for prevention and control, which is the most direct and effective method. We can purchase dinotefuran or pyrethrin solution from the market for prevention and control. Alternatively, we can prepare laundry detergent water or chili water at home for pest control, which can also kill insects.
