What are the common pests of aloe vera?

Aloe bollworm

The cotton bollworm is the most dangerous pest on aloe vera. It can bite the tender leaves of aloe vera, causing the branches and leaves of aloe to be damaged or even withered.

Prevention and treatment methods

1. Use poplar forests or black light to lure and kill adult insects

2. Strengthen the management and daily maintenance of aloe vera, pay attention at all times, detect pests in time and take control.

3. Use pesticides for prevention and control when the disease occurs. During the larval stage, use 40% omethoate spray for spraying and control to kill the pests in the cradle.

Aloe scale insects

Many plants are troubled by scale insects, and aloe vera is no exception. Scale insects mainly occur on soap aloe, and are relatively less common in other aloe varieties. Scale insects can stick to the back of aloe leaves, and sometimes appear on the front of the leaves to suck the sap of the leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Prevention and treatment methods

Use pesticides for spray control, such as 50% 1605 emulsifiable concentrate or 50% trisulfuron.

Aloe Red Spider

Red spider mites often appear in the hot and dry summer. July to September each year is the outbreak period of red spider mites.

Prevention and treatment methods

During the winter, remove small weeds around your aloe plant. When red spider mites appear, discover them in time and spray them with 2500 times of 40% omethoate. Spray once every 4 days for 2-3 times in a row.
