Pomegranate flower pests and control methods

Pomegranate flower scale insect

symptom

Scale insects are common pests in home flower gardens. The larvae mainly attach to leaves or new shoots, sucking leaves and branches, and secreting mucus, which can induce sooty mold, affect photosynthesis, slow down the growth of pomegranates, cause leaves to fall, and in severe cases may cause flowers to fall and the tree to die.

Prevention and treatment methods

When a small number of scale insects are found on branches and leaves, they can be wiped off with soapy water.

Spray the pesticide in time, once every 7 to 10 days, and spray 2 to 3 times in a row to control the damage.

Pomegranate stem moth

symptom  

Also known as the window moth, it rarely appears in homes. The larvae will damage new branches and perennial branches, slowing the growth of the plant, affecting flowering and fruiting, and in severe cases causing the death of the entire plant.

Prevention and treatment methods

During the pomegranate growing season, check the growth of branches frequently. If you find that the new branches are growing weak and have accumulation, cut the branches off in time to kill the larvae.

Spray the pesticide in time. You can use a waste syringe or other tools to inject 400 to 500 times dichlorvos solution into the insect tunnel, or spray it directly on the branches.

Aphis gossypii

symptom  

Adults and nymphs gather on the host's tender leaves, buds, stems, buds and flowers, sucking food from branches and leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and wilt, and in severe cases, the entire plant to die.

Prevention and treatment methods

Remember to spray 5- degree Baume lime sulfur mixture before bringing it indoors in winter as a preventive measure.

When insect pests appear on plants, it is more effective to spray 1500 times diluted 50% aphidicide emulsifiable concentrate or 800 times diluted 25% phosmet emulsifiable concentrate in time.
