Why does hydroponic culture produce insects

The water source is a high incidence area for mosquito spawning, especially the static water surface

Hydroponic plants belong to a relatively closed water source, coupled with the nutrition produced by plant roots, it is easier to provoke mosquitoes

The picture shows the larvae that do not change the water in time

The following figure shows the larvae produced in the hydroponic environment with many roots

As the temperature rises and mosquitoes become active, how can we maintain a refreshing environment for hydroponic green plants

Change the water frequently to avoid insects

It takes 2-3 days for eggs to hatch, so we need to change the water every 2-3 days to prevent eggs from giving birth or hatching

In the figure below, the water is not changed in time, and larvae appear

When changing water, pay attention to the root cleaning of plants and wash away the sticky attachments

If there are too many roots of plants and there are rotten parts, they should be reduced in time to avoid breeding of rotten parts

Put it back into the cleaned container (the container can be sterilized with boiling water or disinfected with carbendazim)

Note: you can also use liangbaikai as a new water source

Raise fish in the water and eliminate insects

Some hydroponics that are not easy to change water can raise some small fish in the water. The small fish will use larvae as bait to help you eliminate it

The picture shows fish and flower co culture. Is it better for small fish to swim around

The picture shows an ornamental tank raised with plants and goldfish

Vitamin B2 insecticidal

Mosquitoes hate the smell of vitamin B2. Putting a few tablets of vitamin B2 in the water can "smoke" away mosquitoes without damaging plants

Keep ventilation and avoid attracting insects

Placing hydroponic plants in a ventilated place is not only conducive to the growth of plants, but also can prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in the water

Note that hydroponic plants generally do not need to be exposed to the sun. They can be placed on the balcony in the shade for ventilation

Or put it on the closed windowsill for a while

Clean more and eliminate insects

In order to keep clean and sanitary, wipe the leaves with a wet cloth and remove the dead leaves to keep the green plants clean as a whole

There are many mosquitoes in spring and summer

We should find and deal with it in time
