What pests are sprayed with wormwood?

Spraying on the basis of wormwood decoction can be used to protect fruit and ornamental trees against aphids, ants and caterpillars. This is an effective ecological method to reduce their plant-feeding colonies. You can make them diluted with water or clean, concentrated.

Wormwood slurry spray can be applied differently as needed. From diluted to concentrated or direct application. Perfect for fighting caterpillars, earth fleas, aphids or snails. The quite intense aroma makes it worth spraying in the evening or early in the morning, depending on the possibility.

Wormwood spraying should be done in moderate weather. In hot weather, they are inadvisable due to their strong effects.
