Possible Fall Bulb Problems

In autumn, the rainy season favors problems of a fungal nature, because the conditions for fungal diseases are often created. In this context, it is important to have previously worked the soil well, to avoid problems with a well-drained soil. Cuban zeolite can be another useful preventative remedy. The possible cryptogamic diseases are varied, so you have to keep your eyes open observing the different plants in the field.

Among the insects, on the other hand, the season is especially suitable for slugs that, taking advantage of the humidity, move more and can create many problems for many leafy vegetables, decimating lettuce and cabbage. One of the most typical enemies of the autumn garden is the cabbage, which together with another similar moth (the turnip or lesser cabbage) undermines the plants. The red cabbage bug can also appear between September and October. In the garden there are usually the presence of Asian and green bugs, while in fruit plants we find mealybugs.

The arrival of the cold then leads the insects to winter, giving a little respite to our garden.
