The first signs of aphids appearing on cucumbers

Usually aphids can be observed in mid-July, early August, but in greenhouse conditions, it appears earlier. Cucumbers are one of the favorite delicacies of these insects, so you should pay special attention to this culture. The first signs of the appearance of aphids are twisting of the leaves, yellowing and falling off of the leaves, flowers and ovaries on the shoot. Aphids tend to settle on the inside of the leaf, so it is extremely difficult to notice its presence in the initial stage of infection. You should thoroughly look through the shoots and lower leaflets to see it.

Types of aphids

Aphid, this small insect 1.5-2.5 mm, has a dark green, black and yellow color. On her tiny head there is a strong mouth and proboscis, with which she pierces the surface of the sheet. One of the ways of movement of these small insects is ants, which carry them around the site. Aphid has one peculiarity; its body releases “honeydew”, a sweetish liquid. Ants seize their colonies, drink the liquid they excrete and transport it from one bush to another on themselves. Aphids reproduce extremely quickly, so the infected area becomes a kind of pasture.

Such methods operate quite effectively at an early stage, do not have side effects, quickly decompose and do not collect in the soil and plants, as well as completely harmless to both humans and the plant culture itself.
