The pest of Forsythia suspensa

The common pests of Forsythia suspensa include aphids, caterpillars, diamond heart insects and snails.

Insect pest

Aphids and caterpillars

The control of aphids and caterpillars is mainly in the growth period of pseudoforsythia plants, especially in pruning plant branches, cutting off the diseased branches in time, which can reduce the occurrence of aphids and caterpillars. In addition, chemical treatment can also be used, that is, spraying 1000 times of Omethoate solution on the leaves.

Insect pest

Borer

The borer is very harmful. It enters into the stem of pseudoforsythia in larval stage, which leads to the failure of flowering and bearing of pseudoforsythia, and even more serious, the whole plant will die. The prevention method is to clean up the fallen leaves and dead branches in time in winter to remove the insect eggs, trim the branches and leaves in time to deal with the injured branches and leaves, or poison the pests with 40% dimethoate cream 500 times liquid or 80% dichlorvos original liquid..

Snail

Strictly speaking, snails are not pests, but they can harm flowers and larvae. The prevention method is to sprinkle lime powder around the false Forsythia for prevention and control. In addition, it can also be killed manually to reduce the harm.
