My cabbage has been free of pests for several years, without the use of chemicals.

Any gardener will be pleased to see cabbage that has not been attacked by pests. You can achieve their complete absence without spending a large amount of your own strength and other resources on this.

Of course, you can get rid of pests with the help of chemicals. But the fact is that the latter almost always negatively affect the vegetables themselves and the soil.

It is much more effective and safer in this case to use valerian. The recipe is simple: a bottle of the drug must be dissolved in 3 liters of warm water.

To enhance the effectiveness of the solution, it is recommended to add a few drops of shampoo or soap solution. The last component is necessary in order for the product to linger on cabbage leaves for as long as possible.

The principle of operation of valerian is quite simple: the pungent smell repels pests, they do not eat leaves and do not lay eggs on them. Pests here mean butterflies, caterpillars, all kinds of beetles.

The duration of the effect depends on the next rain or watering. The fact is that soap and shampoo will be washed off at the first hit of water. If you want to get a longer effect, it is recommended to use professional adhesives.

For example, the biological adhesive Liposam can be used. This gel-like substance is beige in color. It should be added in the amount of a few drops to a solution of valerian.

You must adhere to the following recommendations:
Processing is best done in the morning or evening hours.
Use a spray bottle for this. Spray in calm weather.

An important addition: A can of Liposama costs 350-450 rubles. It must be added in small quantities.

But at a cost, a solution with this component will turn out to be a little more expensive than with a soap solution. However, the cost is covered by high efficiency.
