4 best method of control wireworm autumn

Wireworms one of the most common pests in the garden, which could suffer a very big part of our harvest. Most of all he likes to eat our potatoes, but also will not give up carrots or beets.

But the fight against wireworm can (and should!) Begin to fall to the next year of your crop does not hurt. And now I'll tell you I'm some of the most effective ways that I use myself and that helped me.

1. Wireworms likes acidic soil

If you are in the area a lot of wireworms, the first thing to do is to determine the acidity of the soil. I advise you to use this The easiest wayAbout which I have written a separate article.

Most likely your soil is strongly acidified and it needs to be limp. deoxidation procedure is quite simple and you can use wood ash, lime or even baking soda. In addition, it not only save you from wireworm, but also improve fertility (almost all of the plants in the garden do not like acidic soil).

2. Do not leave crop residues in the soil

I think all familiar with this situation, when to dig a bed of potatoes or carrots, you will surely come across several small kartoshinu that are not noticed during harvest time harvest.

And many people (including myself before) do not collect such residues, and buried in the soil, because they will still rot until the next year. But I later learned that these residues are an excellent dressing beetles! Therefore, I advise you to dig a bed with a bucket and collect it all forgotten crop in the ground.

3. Mustard our protector!

Unfortunately, very few people practicing planting of green-manures area after the season, because it is superfluous fuss with planting, mowing, etc.

But green manure (especially mustard greens and legumes) does not only improve the yield of your soil, but also kicked wireworms from your site. Personally, I am sure once every two or three years of planting land and green-manures can all boast of their good soil!

4. Wireworms catch on live bait

Such traps are made very simple and you can use them during the season. Take a few large kartoshinu and cut each into 3-4 parts. Then to sit down on the side rods and buried in the ground by 15-20 centimeters.

Coli serves as a reference to check our traps every day. Affected wireworm kartoshinu need to throw away, and on the pristine refresh slice and then buried in the ground.
