AI GeneratedThis video provides a guide on how to identify and treat red spider mite infestations on tomato plants. It explains the signs of an attack, such as fading leaves and cobwebs, and demonstrates a simple remedy using a potassium soap solution and a specific spraying technique to ensure the pests are eliminated.
If the tomato leaves start to fade and dry like this, react immediately. The cause can be mites,
also known as red spider mites. When it's hot, they hide under the leaves and reproduce quickly.
And when you see this fine cobweb, the attack is already serious.
The treatment should be prepared as soon as you notice the first signs.
I need water and potassium soap. Use potassium soap intended for plants.
In one liter of water I add one spoonful of potassium soap. I stir until the potassium
soap dissolves. I pour the dissolved potassium soap into the sprayer. Write me in the comments,
from which country are you watching me? It's nice to know that we are watching each other
all over the world. The most important thing is where you spray. Mites mostly hide under the
leaves. That is why it is not enough to spray the plant only from above. Treat the plants in the
evening, when the sun no longer hits the leaves directly. First, rinse them well with plain water,
especially on the underside. This will remove most of the mites and cobwebs.
When the excess water is drained, apply the prepared potassium soap solution.
Never spray the plants in strong sunlight and the highest heat.
