The main pest of honeysuckle is aphids. In hot and rainy environments, they often damage new leaves and vine tips, causing curling and affecting growth. Commonly, 40% dimethoate emulsion at 3000 times dilution is sprayed, or 25% phosmet emulsion at 1000 times dilution is sprayed. In addition, there are two simple methods:
① Using a ratio of 5 g of cigarette butts soaked in 70~80 ml of water for 24 hours, rub slightly, filter out the residue with gauze, then spray;
② Use 1:200 diluted washing powder water (soapy water). To improve efficacy, add a few drops of rapeseed oil (do not use animal fat), stir thoroughly until no oil slicks are visible on the surface, then spray with a sprayer, or add a little ginger water and spray; the effect is also very good.
"Mieyajing" sold in flower and plant shops: add 200 ml of water per small packet; after spraying, it takes effect in 20~30 minutes.
