8 1 NATURAL PESTICIDES – 8.24 - FROM GARLIC

4. Produce your own natural Pesticide from Garlic

Garlic has fungicidal properties and strong odour effective for natural pesticide

Garlic has natural fungicidal and pesticides properties that work effectively to control pests. For maximum efficacy in pest control, avoid using any chemical fertilisers. That’s because chemical fertilisers can reduce the content of vital ingredients in garlic to fight pests. Garlic also contains Alisin caused the strong smells of garlic. Many people don’t like the garlic smell. Not only people, but insects are also resentful of the smell. The stinging sharp aroma of the alisin makes the pest reluctant to approach. Apart from being disliked, alisin has a negative effect on their coordination system. The effect of Alisin in garlic will not cause the pest resistance since the smell alone has made insects reluctant to approach. Alisin also blocks the formation of enzymes so that bacterial metabolism stagnates. The ends of the bacterial growth are inhibited until they die.

The pesticide from garlic can control aphids, ants, termites, whiteflies, beetles, borers, caterpillars, snails, and caterpillars.

Here are 9 simple steps to make garlic natural pesticide

   Prepare five medium sized garlic bulbs. Extract and remove the outer skin.

·         Turn the garlic into puree using crusher such as blender, mortar or pestle.

·         Mix with 1/2 litre of water.

·         Let the mixture soak for at least six hours, better for one night.

·         Add some dish soap. We recommend using potassium-based soaps, because the ones that are too hard will damage the plants.

·         Use a soft cloth to filter the mixture.

·         Place it in a glass bottle with a tight lid.

·         When ready to use, dilute the mixture in 4 litres of water.

·         The best way is to use it immediately after preparation. When stored for a long time, it will lose its potential.

This pesticide solution can be directly applied to plants by spraying the solution into the plants. Spray plant parts once a week to provide protection against insects. In the rainy season, you need to spray twice a week.

Organic garlic pesticides have a very strong taste. After spraying, the taste will remain in the plant for about one month. So, it is better not to spray too close to harvest time, because it can interfere with the fruit or vegetables produced.

8 1 DAWA ZA ASILI ZA WAdudu – 8.24 - KUTOKA KWA KITUNGUU SAUMU

4. Tengeneza Dawa yako ya asili kutoka kwa Kitunguu saumu

Kitunguu saumu kina mali ya kuua wadudu na harufu kali yenye ufanisi kwa dawa asilia

Kitunguu saumu kina mali asili ya kuua wadudu na wadudu ambao hufanya kazi kwa ufanisi kudhibiti wadudu. Kwa ufanisi mkubwa zaidi katika kudhibiti wadudu, epuka kutumia mbolea yoyote yenye kemikali. Hiyo ni kwa sababu mbolea za kemikali zinaweza kupunguza maudhui ya viungo muhimu katika vitunguu ili kupambana na wadudu. Vitunguu pia vina Alisin iliyosababisha harufu kali ya vitunguu. Watu wengi hawapendi harufu ya vitunguu. Sio watu tu, lakini wadudu pia huchukia harufu. Harufu kali ya kuuma ya alisin hufanya wadudu kusita kumkaribia. Mbali na kutopendwa, alisin ina athari mbaya kwenye mfumo wao wa uratibu. Athari ya Alisin katika kitunguu saumu haitasababisha upinzani wa wadudu kwani harufu pekee imefanya wadudu kusitasita kukaribia. Alisin pia huzuia uundaji wa enzymes ili kimetaboliki ya bakteria itulie. Mwisho wa ukuaji wa bakteria huzuiwa hadi kufa.

Dawa inayotokana na vitunguu saumu inaweza kudhibiti vidukari, mchwa, mchwa, nzi weupe, mende, vipekecha, viwavi, konokono na viwavi.

Hapa kuna hatua 9 rahisi za kutengeneza kitunguu saumu kiua wadudu asilia

• Tayarisha balbu tano za saizi ya kati ya vitunguu saumu. Futa na uondoe ngozi ya nje.

• Geuza vitunguu saumu kuwa puree kwa kutumia kipondaji kama vile blender, chokaa au mchi.

• Changanya na 1/2 lita ya maji.

• Acha mchanganyiko uloweke kwa angalau saa sita, bora kwa usiku mmoja.

• Ongeza sabuni ya chakula. Tunapendekeza kutumia sabuni za potasiamu, kwa sababu wale ambao ni ngumu sana wataharibu mimea.

• Tumia kitambaa laini kuchuja mchanganyiko.

• Weka kwenye chupa ya glasi yenye mfuniko mkali.

• Ukiwa tayari kutumika, punguza mchanganyiko katika lita 4 za maji.

• Njia bora ni kuitumia mara tu baada ya maandalizi. Ikihifadhiwa kwa muda mrefu, itapoteza uwezo wake.

Suluhisho hili la dawa linaweza kutumika moja kwa moja kwa mimea kwa kunyunyizia suluhisho kwenye mimea. Nyunyizia sehemu za mimea mara moja kwa wiki ili kutoa ulinzi dhidi ya wadudu. Katika msimu wa mvua, unahitaji kunyunyiza mara mbili kwa wiki.

Viuatilifu vya vitunguu vya kikaboni vina ladha kali sana. Baada ya kunyunyiza, ladha itabaki kwenye mmea kwa karibu mwezi mmoja. Kwa hivyo, ni bora kutonyunyiza karibu na wakati wa kuvuna, kwa sababu inaweza kuingilia kati na matunda au mboga zinazozalishwa.
