Common Pests and Diseases of Ming Fern and Their Control Methods
Pest Control
During the growth of Ming Fern, hot and dry seasons are encountered, and at this time the main pests are predominantly red spider mites and scale insects, which must be controlled by spraying pesticides. For whiteflies and scale insects, omethoate emulsifiable concentrate can be used in the appropriate ratio to eliminate the pests. Pest control requires emphasis on prevention; pesticides should be sprayed regularly to prevent them before they occur, because once an infestation has occurred, treatment becomes relatively difficult. To avoid unnecessary losses, pests must be prevented in advance.
