"GOOD BUGS" BENEFICIAL INSECTS FOR OUR ORCHARD OR GARDEN.
SOURCE
Hello friends of the farms in this opportunity I am going to talk to you that if you want to have a garden and garden with healthy plants and without pests is an objective that we all raise. To achieve this, we must conserve a natural balance between the pests and diseases of our crops and their natural enemies, such as some insects that we will now talk about.
If we create an orchard and garden with the necessary conditions so that these natural enemies of the plagues inhabit, we will avoid the appearance of these we must obtain a beneficial environment so that they can inhabit.
First we must plant flowers and aromatic plants that produce large amounts of pollen to attract these beneficial insects. The flowers of daisies, petunias, sunflowers, coriander, lavender, dill and fennel are ideal to attract beneficial insects in our garden and garden.
BENEFICIAL INSECTS ARE THE FOLLOWING:
APHIDIUS COLEMANI
Small parasitic wasp that eliminates all kinds of aphids, this small insect detects the molasses of the aphids at a long distance, places its eggs inside the aphids, from which a new wasp will be born over time, controlling in this way its population. These wasps lay eggs inside their prey, causing a certain death. Whitefly, caterpillars, aphids, cochineal. Each wasp is specialized in hunting a species of plague insects.
WARNINGS CAZADORAS:
They go through the whole orchard reviewing plant by plant, leaf by leaf, looking for caterpillars or other harmful insects to capture them and take them to their nests. This group includes many wasps that frequent our garden and even make their nests near our crops, being aggressive in case they are disturbed, such as the paper wasp, which lives in a hive that she makes with cellulose.
CENTIPEDE.
It is a predator par excellence feeds on insects harmful to our plants. It needs moist soils and where there are stones that allow it to hide. He is the perfect guardian of our garden. This is a very active predator. It feeds on insects harmful to our plants constantly. To favor its appearance it is advisable to install rocks or bricks in humid areas since they need places to hide.
SYRUPIDS:
They are hunting flies of all plague insects that are soft, such as aphids, whitefly larvae, woodlice.
SPIDER OF GARDEN.
As the centipede another terrible predator that helps us achieve a balanced ecosystem among the insect population that roam our garden and garden. Perhaps it is difficult to understand and the most normal thing is that the spiders cause fear or an incredible sense of disgust to many people. Although it is not a very appreciated insect, like others already mentioned, it is a terrible predator and controls very well the population of harmful insects in the garden.
MITES:
They are tiny arachnids that are continuously crossing our plants in search of other mites, such as the red spider or the crystalline spider. An example of a predatory mite may be the Amblyseius swirskii
CRISOPA.
They are the number one destroyers of the white fly, deposit their eggs in the larvae of the fly and nothing else they start to eat them. Place bottles in your garden and garden, this will make the lacewing spend the winter sheltered after having spent all the spring and summer taking nectar from the flowers of your garden and garden. They have a beneficial role in the ecosystem, devouring different pests of aphids, thrips, woodlice, butterfly larvae, etc. Very used in organic farming so if you do not have them you can always buy. With aromatic and hotel of insects its appearance is very probable.
FLY SINGUE:
It is a large fly that feeds on other insects such as caterpillars that can be double size. Promachus latitarsatus is an example of Singue.
MANTIS.
As in any garden, mantids can not be absent, perhaps it is not the most effective insect to fight pests because only a few individuals reach adults, but it can consume large amounts of insects. Especially the females, since they need to eat to lay their eggs. Once the putting is over, they are ready to continue eating again and again until finally they die exhausted.
THE LADYBUG.
Finding ladybugs in our garden and garden is synonymous with being totally healthy. An insect that has practically gone down in history due to the excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. It is vital to have a sufficient population of ladybugs in our garden and garden. It is the main predator of aphids, mites, lice ... The Ladybugs belong to the family of insects of the coleoptera and there are plenty of different species of ladybugs adapted to each geographical area of the planet. They are small with bright colors and black specks on their body.
Unfortunately, this beautiful image is increasingly difficult to see. The excessive use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and other aggressive treatments with our environment have made it increasingly difficult to see large populations of ladybugs in orchards and gardens. A ladybug can consume a large number of these small insects and if we consider the large number of eggs that a female can get to put during their reproductive cycle we have before us the great ally of the horticulturist. The perfect biological insecticide.
WASP.
They are big consumers of larvae of harmful insects, and they perfectly control the development of these pests since they destroy them from the beginning. Create spaces like ponds in your garden and garden with flowers and aromatic plants that allow the Wasps to find suitable conditions to inhabit. We already know its vital function for the ecosystem and its importance. They pollinate a multitude of plants in their search for the nectar of flowers. In our garden it is of vital importance for the formation of new fruits. One way to attract them and help them in their hard work is planting sunflowers
THE FEMALE OF RELIGIOUS MANTIS
Devours the male as soon as he completes the copula so that he can feed his future offspring. It eats all kinds of insects for this and we have to have its population controlled since it also devours beneficial insects. Despite what many legends say, the mantis poses no danger to humans. It is one of the most voracious predators in the orchard and, therefore, should be one of the most protected insects because it controls populations of grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, flies, etc.
HEMIPHTERS.
The majority of those in this group are insect pests, but there is a part known as killer bugs, which are specialized in hunting other insects. They have a sucking device, which they inject into their victim, thus sucking all the juice.
SOURCE
THE SCISSORS.
They are predators of other insects. They are capable of eating very large insects, especially woodlice and aphids. The latter affect our plants in a very significant way, being the most dangerous pests for our Eden. With the earwigs, these pests will be devoured in a very short time and will disappear from your garden.
In summary why we are going to use chemical agents to fight the plagues and diseases of our garden and garden if nature offers us the best remedies in itself.
