How to control insect and mite pests in citrus orchards? Rotenone-cypermethrin EC is the first choice
Spring returns to the earth, and the citrus orchard has also put out tender green spring shoots, full of vitality. However, as long as you observe carefully, after the long winter rest, insect, mite and disease damage in the citrus orchard is also quite serious. According to our field observations, the pests currently occurring in citrus orchards include scale insects, aphids and various whiteflies, and the harmful mites include red spiders and rust mites, etc.; in addition, sooty mold disease in ordinary citrus orchards is also quite serious. Control should be carried out early, so as to treat it early, treat it when there is little, and treat it until it is gone. Red spiders, rust mites, scale insects and various whiteflies are all tiny pests with strong resistance that have given people headaches in recent years. With ordinary chemical insecticides, it is very difficult to achieve the expected control effect. According to feedback from many fruit growers, even if pesticides are applied two or three times in succession, they still cannot be completely controlled, which is a great headache. Moreover, citrus aphids and scale insects can also secrete large amounts of honeydew (a sugar-containing liquid), inducing citrus sooty mold disease, thereby reducing the vigor of the fruit trees and affecting the orchard's yield and fruit quality that year. In order to strive for a high citrus yield this year and achieve the goal of increasing production and income. For the above-mentioned pest and disease damage in citrus orchards, it is recommended to use efficient, economical and safe control measures. Using 1.3% rotenone-cypermethrin insecticide EC to control citrus orchard pests can achieve the purpose of controlling insects, mites and diseases at the same time, and can ensure the expected control effect. The best method is: for each mu of citrus orchard, use 75 kg of 1.3% rotenone-cypermethrin EC at a 1:800 dilution, then add lime milk prepared from 4 kg of quicklime, stir thoroughly, and then spray. When spraying, be sure to spray evenly, and the undersides of the leaves must also be completely wet and fully soaked with the pesticide solution. After half a month, spray once more with 75 kg of 2.5% dichlorvos-mite EC at a 1:800 dilution, which can ensure that within 2 months there will be no disturbance from red spiders, rust mites, scale insects, etc. in the citrus orchard. Finally, a reminder to citrus growers: it is best to first use clean water to slake 8 jin of quicklime into lime milk, then wait 24 hours until the lime milk has completely cooled before adding it to the pesticide solution and mixing evenly for use. In addition, the lime milk pesticide solution should be prepared and used immediately, and must not be left overnight.
