Pests are part of the ecosystem and it would be impossible to eradicate them, but there are good resources that will help ensure that insects and small creatures do not threaten the health of our plants.
Many of these recommendations do not involve major complications or excessive spending of money. It is enough to implement them to prevent plants from being attacked by pests .
The choice of plants
An important tip and very easy to introduce is the selection of plants. When choosing the plants for the garden , keep in mind their origin, always opting for those species native to your region, as then you will ensure that you offer them the best environment so that they are strong and healthy and thus better resist the attack of parasites and other pests. .
The maintenance of your plants is another crucial matter because if the plant receives everything it needs, it will develop in good conditions and will be strong enough to resist pest attacks . In this sense, the conditions of the soil, the type of irrigation, the fertilizer and the exposure to the sun have an influence, since they are all key elements.
If you use phytosanitary products such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and others, do so in moderation as an excess can become a mistake. Remember that the best thing you can do with nature is to opt for ecological solutions. There are many so take advantage of them.
I have mentioned this many times but I will never get tired of saying it: the best thing you can do with your plants is to check them regularly. Examining plants is a daily job, it’s true, but it’s also a great way to prevent problems. If your plants have been attacked by pests the previous year, you should be especially careful as they are more vulnerable to a new attack. If you detect the presence of pests at an early stage, you can fight them before they spread.
infected plants
Remember never to use cuttings from plants that have been diseased as then the new plants that will grow will also be infected. The same happens if you grow a plant in a place where the plants were previously attacked, because even when you have removed the plants, the parasites remain in the soil.
