What should I do if there are bugs in the cinnabar root?

1. Aphids

Aphids are very harmful to cinnabar roots. They mainly suck the juice from the leaves, stems, buds and other parts of the plant. Over time, the leaves will turn yellow and curl, and may even fall off. This type of insect is more common in poorly ventilated, dark environments.

Prevention and control methods: When the number of aphids is relatively small, they can be removed manually using suitable tools such as a toothbrush to brush the insects off and away from the plants. When the insect pest is serious, it is recommended to use omethoate to spray and kill the insects once every 7-10 days.

2. Moth pests (beet armyworm/spodoptera litura)

Moth pests generally include the beet armyworm and the fall armyworm, which always harm the leaves of the plants. They will eat the leaves, resulting in only veins on the leaves, seriously affecting the ornamental value. This type of pest is more likely to occur if the plant is placed in a hot, humid, stuffy and unventilated environment.

Prevention and control methods: After discovery, the diseased leaves should be removed as soon as possible, collected and burned to prevent other healthy leaves from being damaged. At the same time, spray Yitaibao and Kuaishaling. Once discovered, prevention and control must be carried out as soon as possible without delay.
