There are several traditional remedies used to treat flower mites. One method involves using a mixture of 0.5 kg each of pepper, pinellia, and tobacco. These ingredients should be chopped and blended together. For every kilogram of the raw mix, add between 0.35 kg to 0.5 kg of water and let it soak overnight. After filtering, you will get the original juice. Then, for each kilogram of this juice, add 5 kg of water before use.
Another remedy uses 0.5 kg of fresh ginger. Crush it with 0.25 kg of water to extract the juice, then strain out the pulp. For every kilogram of the extracted juice, add 3 kg of water before applying it.
A third option is to use 0.2 kg of pepper mixed with 2 kg of water. Knead it into a paste, then strain to create 1 kg of raw juice. For each kilogram of this solution, add 2 to 3 kg of water before use.
In addition to mite control, there are also natural agents that help manage pests like thrips, cockroaches, and other soil-dwelling insects. One effective method is to grind dried arborvitae leaves into a fine powder. This can be applied as a seed coating to repel cockroaches.
Another approach is to dry and crush ramie leaves and stems, then mix the powder directly into the soil. This helps prevent cockroach infestations naturally.
For controlling thrips, take 0.5 kg of pulsatilla root, add 5 kg of water, and boil for 30 minutes. Let it cool, then filter out the residue. Use the liquid to water the plants, which helps eliminate thrips effectively.
These methods are based on traditional practices shared in rural newspapers and have been used by farmers for generations.
