Pests of red banana and their control

Scale insect pests of red banana

Scale insects are a general term for a type of pest, not a single pest. The damage caused by scale insects to red banana is mainly manifested in feeding on the young and tender leaves of red banana. In the early stage, due to the relatively small size of the pests and the fact that scale insects mostly gather under the leaves, it is not easy to observe them. But in the later stage, the entire leaf may be covered with scale insects, causing the leaves of red banana to turn yellow, affecting its normal growth and flowering, and affecting its ornamental and practical value. There are many ways to prevent and control scale insects, and they are all very simple. First of all, what we must do is to check frequently. If we don't check, it is easy for scale insects to breed and it is very easy for scale insects to spread. After finding scale insects, they should be scraped off immediately. If they have been infected with this pest and there are many of them, the red banana needs to be sprayed with drugs regularly.

Whitefly Pests on Red Banana

I believe everyone is familiar with whiteflies. After infecting red banana, other plants will also be easily infected by whiteflies. Whiteflies are extremely tenacious, causing great harm and strong reproductive capacity. For ordinary plants, it will take only a few days for the whole plant to collapse and die after being infected with whiteflies. The prevention and control methods are relatively complicated. First, you can apply some oil on the yellow board and use the characteristics of whiteflies to lure and kill them. In addition, you can also spray drugs for treatment. Finally, you can also reduce the number of natural enemies of whiteflies. In winter, it is necessary to eliminate insect eggs in time to avoid the breeding of pests in spring. The soil chosen for planting should preferably be sterilized.
