- Katavarm is a common term that refers to caterpillars of different kite species that attack vegetarian plants.
- To eat through tender stems on the soil line, to destroy agricultural crops and gardens, cutworks appear in the herd.
- Cutworm control measures include preventive work, garden monitoring, physical obstacles and manual removal.
While moths are usually comfortable in the garden, their caterpillars can cause a lot of problems. These caterpillars – the collection is referred to as a cutworm – can cut the plantation of the garden overnight.
Since moths can pass through three generations a year, you should learn how to identify the cutworms and the disadvantages caused by them. Here are ways to reduce the number of eggs that will hatch and get rid of the cutworks.
How to identify Katavarm and their disadvantages
While there are color variations, most of the cutworm species in American gardens look very similar. Caterpillars are smooth and about two inches long. They can be dull or shiny, brown, tan, black, pink, gray, or green, and concrete, or striped. There are cutworks that carry up the stem of plants and surface cutworks that live at the soil level.
When the plants are small or tender tissue, the damage to cutworm is the most severe in the spring. Climbing cutworm trees, shrubs, vines and vegetable plants creep in leaves to cut holes in the leaves or eat buds and fruits.
A quality of the surface cutworm is identified that they usually curl into a tight ‘C’ shape when they are usually upset. It is also how the surface cutworms feed: They curl their body around the stem and start eating. Due to feeding, the plants cut just above the soil surface.

How to get rid of cutworks
There are different ways to get rid of cutworms, and each has its own advantages. Depending on what you want, here are six options that can work for your garden.
Manual removal
Inspection of the garden in the evening or long ago in the morning when the cutworms are most active. When cutworms are discovered on plants or ground, physically remove them while wearing gloves and drop or drop the insects in a bucket in a bucket.
Aluminum foil collar
You can create a physical barrier to prevent the surface from attacking the plants and climb the cutworm. Cut a strip of aluminum foil about 12 inches wide and bend it in half so that it is 6 inches long. Cut into short length so that the collar is not very large. Push one end of the collar into 3 inch soil, and the other end extends 3 inches above the ground. Leave it for several weeks until Katavarm goes to the next stage of his life.
Cardboard collar
Cut heavy duty cardboard (mailing tube) in the ring with a side slit to fit around the plants. Position aluminum foil collar with several inches of collar under the soil and above the soil.
diatomaceous earth
diatomaceous earth There is a gritty, sharp powder that damages the cutworm as it crosses and causes it to dehydrate and die. Sprinkle it generously in a circle around the tender plants.
Dish soap and water spray
There is evidence that a spray bottle filled with water and about 1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid will kill the cutworm. This will only work when the solution is sprinkled directly on the cutworm.
Commercial pesticides
Synthetic pyrethroids will work very well to reduce losses from pesticides such as deltamethrine, siplutrin, bifanthrin, permethrin, and lambda-sihloothrin katavarm. Organic Pesticides Bt (Basillus Thurningnenesis) or Beneficial nematodes Will also work.
Carefully follow the label directions to prevent damage to beneficial insects, pets and humans. There is often the most effective time to apply between midnight and morning.
How to keep the cutworm away
The best way to prevent cutworm damage is to take initial control measures in the garden to reduce the number of moth eggs.
- Clean the remains and weeds around your garden to make areas less attractive for laying of eggs.
- To garden soil In the soil to destroy eggs, larvae or pupa in the soil.
- Leave the area of three to four feet of bare soil around valuable plantation so that it is more difficult to crawl for the cutworm.
- Keep weeds under control Because they can act as a host for young Katvarm larvae.
- Use manure instead of green manure, as compost can encourage laying eggs.
- Maintain three to four feet of buffer of dry clay along the edge of the garden to make it unnecessary for cutworks.
Fasting
-
Cutworms can be removed manually and can be immersed in a bucket of soap water, or a straight spray of soap water will also kill a cutwar.
-
No, baking soda does not firmly kills Katavarm.
-
The garden is attracted for leaf garbage and weeds to lay your eggs. To prevent the onset of the kite (and cutworm) life cycle, keep the area of the garden clean with weeds and until the soil often becomes to kill the eggs.
-
Yes, Katavarm is the most active between evening and morning.
