PlantBitter melonThere's a big problem, when the fruit grows up so hard, you'll suddenly find that there's so many small holes in it that you don't want to see at first, but when it's actually cut open, you'll find out that there's a fat little bug in it, and you're eating the inside of the fruit
The bug is the most troubled of the people who grow the bitter melon, and it is called the worst enemy of the bitter melon: the melon fly。
It is difficult to resolve the problem once and for all, and the usual approach has little effect. It can only be effectively addressed by using the technique of “accompanying” to grow other crops and bitter ones alongside them。
We're going to introduce the three bitterling “brothers” who, together with the seed, can take care of the scavenger。
Let's find out how destructive the melon fly is
The melon fly looks like a fly, but smaller than a fly, is brown, has transparent wings, it is not destructive in itself, nor can it drill holes in a bitter melon, but it lays its eggs on the skin of a bitter melon, which is life-threatening, because it can successfully lay its eggs with its own tip of its tail. A worm can't drill a bitter melon, but a larva can。
Little white and white larvae are born within the bitter melon, growing up on bitter melons, and the more they grow up, the more they dig around, the more they eat。
From the outside, we can only see a tiny hole, but it's been chewed up by the larvae
It's so destructive, but it doesn't bother me。
Why is the usual method not working
There are usually three ways to treat the melon fly, but each has its own ills。
Pesticides
There's a problem with drugs — what happens next? Because it's a crop that blooms in a row, you can handle it well. What about next? If you keep taking drugs, you'll get pesticide residues. If you grow them, don't you hurt yourself
Packing of fruit bags
With a special bag of fruit, it's a physical insulation against insects, so the melon fly can't lay eggs. It does work and it is safe, but the disadvantage is that it's too labour-intensive to see how much can be made of a bitter melon, how much less it can be grown, and how inefficient it is to grow a pack。
3. Use of trappers
Now there's a sticky plate that can trap a melon fly into a worm, but you'll find that an old farmer doesn't usually use a sticky plate, because it's got a decoy on it, and it's gonna attract more melon flies, even if they kill a part of it, the sum remains the same。
With three "brothers," it's better if the worms are gone. Eat
A truly effective and sustainable approach, where three vegetables are planted next to a bitter melon, will allow the melon fly to go around and no longer need to lay eggs on the melon, and eventually the melon will be of reasonably good quality。
1.Tomatoes
The tomato plant releases something called “tricholine”, which is volatile, conceals the chemical signals sent out by the guacamole, knowing that the guacamole flies determine where the guacamole is, by its chemical scent, and if the signal is not received, nature will not be able to locate it and find it。
The guacamole fly rushes in to lay its eggs, but loses its way and flies everywhere. It's a real rush。
It should be noted that tomatoes are planted about 10 days in advance of the bitter melon to ensure that the two are staggered, otherwise they will take nutrients. One cane of tomatoes can be grown between two tacks of bitter melons (approximately 80 cm wide), with a distance of more than 50 cm, to prevent excessive staggering of roots. When mixed, you can spray a little soda once a month, which will prevent fungal disease, just in case。
2.Beans
The bean horns attract bees and grasshoppers, both of which are worms and natural enemies of the guacamole fly, which is tantamount to planting bean bean bean bean bean bean bean bean bean bean beams. If the guacamole fly comes near, i'm sorry, but the guacamole fly is not a vegan one, and they will beat the guacamole fly to the head, or even become their meal. It is natural that the guacamole fly saw these two men, who were afraid of the wind, and who wandered far away from the idea of laying eggs。
It would be better to grow short bean bean bean bean, for example, four season bean, because bitter melons and bean bean bean bean are vines, which is easy to compete for. The bean horns can be planted on the edge of the gutter where the scavengers climb, using vertical spatial differences, so that the bean bean bean horns grow in the lower layers and the scavenging go up。
Free bodyguards for the pain melons. The pain melons really bloom。
Mint
The melon flies are more afraid of the odour of mints, i. E., the volatile ingredient of “mint alcohol, mint ketone”, which has a strong effect on the general pests, usually covering a 2-metre radius, protecting the ferocious, but close to the guacamole, and the smell of a direct astronomical snot in the brain, where the melon flies can barely stand, and can only be awake to the “warning” of the mint。
A mint can be planted around a bitter melon field, forming a 30 cm wide “separation belt” and, if the plot is small, can be placed intensively on the edge of the field. When the mint principal grows to 20 centimetres, the top sprouts are immediately strangled and the side branches are promoted. The more thick the leaves, the greater the range of deworming。
But i would suggest that you grow the first two crops, because the mint root system will grow long, clean up from time to time and be more troublesome for some, and save time for the first two。
Without the melon fly, it's big and delicious
With these “good brothers”, you'll find that the number of guacamole flies has dropped dramatically, and the rest of them are completely unconvinced, and we'll get everything we need, clean and clean and full of bitter melons
How can there be less fresh and good cooking? My neighbor zhang was very good at making bitter melons, and he made me a bean poached melon, and he ate it once for many days。
Wash our own good guacamole, cut it apart, scrape the guacamole and seeds inside, and cut it into thin pieces. Burn a pot of water, put a few drops of salt in it, put a piece of bitter melon in it for a couple of seconds, see the color turn green and then get it out, and then pass the cold immediately, so as to maintain a sense of fright。
Open the cans of soyfish that were bought from the supermarket, tear them up into small pieces, and fry them with garlic paste. Almost
This dish, bitter melons, salty soybeans, delicious fish, and the smell of garlic chili sauce
And this bitter melon is our own fruit of victory. Don't they have a bad temper after being driven away from the melon fly to enjoy our food
In any case, instead of fighting with him, why don't we call the three “good brothers” of the bitter one to take a fall, and they'll be easy, they'll be happy, and they'll be able to eat the good stuff, and they'll end up with the bad luck
