The first sowings of winter rape will begin in mid-August. Everything indicates that, just like last year, cabbage root fly larvae will pose a major threat to winter rape crops. In addition to chemical insecticide treatments to combat the adult form, it is also worth applying the microbiological Shield preparation to the soil. The preparation strengthens the natural tolerance of plants to pest feeding. It creates unfavourable conditions for the development of harmful organisms, including their overwintering, thanks to which plant development proceeds properly. VitaFer Soil Shield is best applied to the soil before pre-sowing cultivation and mixed with the soil to a depth of 5-10 cm. It works effectively in a wide range of temperatures and is characterized by rapid action. The first effects in the form of cessation of feeding of pests living in the soil can be observed after 24-48 hours from application. In favourable conditions (appropriate soil moisture), we can observe a reduction in the population of cabbage root fly larvae by 40 to 50%.
