Methods for controlling and preventing pest infestations in spring roses
Today, let's introduce the experience in plant care for controlling and preventing pest infestations in spring roses. It's some very useful tips worth collecting!
Methods for controlling and preventing pest infestations in spring roses
Previously, I shared with you that after the first bloom of spring roses, we must take good care of pest control, especially against insects. If pest infestations are not controlled in a timely manner at this stage.
Then the roses may be eaten down to just the stems. The simplest way to prevent and control rose pest infestations is to use this "Rose Guardian" kit. However, many gardening enthusiasts don't know what insecticides are needed for which insects. Today, I mainly want to share with you four types of pests that roses are particularly prone to.
1. Aphids
The first type is aphids, which usually feed on the tender leaves of roses. Therefore, we can easily spot them on the tender leaves, which are the new shoots and buds. They primarily affect the tender leaves of roses and are easy to identify.
2. Small caterpillars
The second pest is the small caterpillar, which usually eats the new leaves of roses but only consumes the leaf tissue, leaving the veins untouched.
So after they finish eating the leaf flesh, the leaf may only be left with the veins. This type of damage is caused by small caterpillars, which we can usually find on the back of the leaves.
3. Thrips
The third pest is thrips, which cause blackish-brown lines on the back of the leaves and may cause the leaves to curl, indicating an infestation.
4. Insecticide
No matter whether it's aphids, small caterpillars, or thrips, you can use abamectin and dinotefuran insecticide to achieve good control.
Because it contains abamectin and dinotefuran, it is a type of complex insecticide that can effectively control various pests.
5. Spider mites
The fourth pest is the spider mite. On the back of the leaves, we will find many tiny white spots, sometimes with some red-brown spots.
If observed closely, the surface may also show silk-like formations. Leaves infected with spider mites become very brittle. Generally, if we prevent spider mites, using abamectin and dinotefuran is sufficient.
But if infested with spider mites, using abamectin and dinotefuran is not very effective. Therefore, we will need to use miticides like etoxazole or fenpyroximate later on. These are the four types of pests that roses are more prone to, along with their control methods.
The comprehensive explanation of the methods for controlling and preventing pest infestations in spring roses shared above is hoped to be of help to you.
