Common Pests of Peach Blossom and Their Control

Common Pests of Peach Blossom

Peach blossoms may be infested with insect pests. Common pests of peach blossoms include aphids, scale insects, red spiders, and red-necked longhorn beetles.

Aphids usually appear in spring and will affect the growth of peach branches. On the other hand, a large number of aphids gathering on the branches of peach will also affect the ornamental value of peach.

Red spider mites can harm the branches, leaves, and flowers of peach trees. In the early stages of the infestation, there will be some very small light yellow spots on the leaves. In severe cases, the leaves will dry up, curl, turn yellow, and fall off.

The red-necked longhorn beetle will eat the bark of the peach tree, harming its growth.

Peach pest control

Pests harm the growth of peach trees, so how can we prevent and control the pests of peach trees?

When we plant peach trees, we must pay attention to reasonable fertilization and reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer so that the peach plants can grow well, which can prevent the occurrence of pests.

If peach trees are infested with aphids, we can cultivate some natural enemies of aphids, such as ladybugs, flower bugs, etc., and use natural methods to prevent and control the harm of aphids. However, if the situation is more urgent, pesticides need to be used to kill the aphids.

If red spider mites appear on the peach plant, we can pay attention to pruning the branches and leaves of the peach on a daily basis so that the whole plant can get light and the ventilation performance can be enhanced. Water it in time when it is dry. This can reduce the reproduction of red spider mites. In addition to these more natural methods, we can also use pesticides to make solutions according to relevant ratio requirements and spray them, which can effectively kill red spider mites.
