it’s obviously some kind of a joke with a biological bias! So assumed most of the friends in my mini-poll. And they are all wrong.
Today, few gardeners-fans know what good harvest can bring these tiny red bugs with black dots on the wings. About the purchase the same cruise employees think and at all units.
But a resident of the village of Tabory Okhansk district Andrey Vasilyev not only thought, but decided to put the matter in a big way. In his opinion, no fancy insects are not necessary for any one grower who wants to grow really high-quality and environmentally friendly products.
– This little bug is a very voracious predator, well kills pests of cultivated plants, – says Andrey. – Don’t need no spraying crops with harmful chemicals when at the site will employ these workers. Moreover, aphids, whitefly and many other pests eat not only the adults but also the larvae. The larvae even more.
If the garden gets aphids, spider mites, San Jose scale, medvenica or mealybug, a crop can not wait. Plants
quickly wither under the onslaught of insect pests. Here comes to the aid of a good appetite ladybugs. Besides red-winged workers no holidays, no weekends, they work constantly. Moreover, do it with pleasure.
one day an adult ladybug can destroy more than 150-170 individuals lontoossa aphids, and the larvae is 10 times more. Smart “mother” prudently lays eggs of its progeny near the colony of aphids. Wow “the kids” something to eat.
Andrey Vasiliev – beginning farmer. Five years ago he moved to Tabor from the city, where, he says, one fuss. Having lived in the world for 43 years, 15 of them in the cities, he now knows: to truly live only in the village.
Now his business is growing vegetables for themselves and little for sale, is in the process of “commissioning” work. Recently, Andrew has built a greenhouse, where the summer growing cucumbers and tomatoes, and winter green onions. Yes, he expects to work in the winter in the greenhouse has several levels of heating. When released on “industrial revolutions”, will be engaged in the implementation of the vegetable production, the main value of which is that it will be grown without chemicals. But… with God’s help, and ladybug.
the Idea is to massively purchase insects came to Andrew recently, but it is not his personal know-how. According to the farmer, in the South of Russia the collection and selling of ladybirds were commonplace. They were not even considered hundreds and pounds. Once he thought that here, in the Urals, is also possible. Yes, and there’s no other way, to something have no time to do.
so far, however, in recognition of Andrew sellers ladybugs do not stand at his door. But it not scary, because the summer is yet to come. Here, is established in the nature of full heat will come out red-and-black beauties out of their winter burrows, the kids will be more time on the street to spend and things will go. The garden use, and the guys will be on what ice cream to buy. Not to mention the benefits of environmentally friendly products for consumers, and every year becomes more and more.
According to the calculations of the farmer, for the first time, it will need not so much of Coleoptera “workforce” – the heads of two hundred of the force. But that’s enough to thoroughly clean the greenhouse of all pests.
by the Way, do you remember about one particular ladybugs? She has always been a symbol of the children’s luck. The kids know if the rhyme “ladybug, uleti on nebco, where your kids eat candy” insect took off from the hands, it means happiness or good luck will be exactly. But in small businesses they are essential.
