In this video, I'll show you how to get rid of caterpillars on beets. Having noticed spoiled leaves on beets, you must immediately find out what kind of pest has appeared and what control measures to take. In my case, this pest is a beet miner fly, popularly called the beet fly. The small gray fly is found everywhere, with the exception of the northern regions. It resembles a simple house fly, but smaller in size - 7-8 mm. During the summer, two generations usually develop: the first flies fly out at the end of April or the beginning of May, the second - at the end of July or the beginning of August. It actively breeds on plantings of beets in wet summers. During the summer, the female makes 2-4 ovipositions, her fertility reaches 100 eggs. Larvae hatch from them, which gnaw thin passages in the pulp of beet leaves. The leaf turns red, bubbles and partially dies off. And seedlings at the stage of the first true leaves usually die. So how do we get rid of caterpillars and beet flies and what measures to take against them. You will see everything in my video.
