GARLIC INFUSION WITH NEUTRAL SOAP
INFUSIÓN DE AJO CON JABÓN NEUTRO
How does it work?
The infusion of garlic with neutral soap is a very effective natural remedy against pests such as Tuta ABSOLUTA, the green mosquito, psyllae, thrips and also against certain fungi such as white mold. Garlic has insecticidal, fungicidal and repellent properties thanks to its sulfur compounds, especially allicin, which acts by interfering with the nervous system of insects. Neutral soap, for its part, helps the mixture adhere better to the leaves and enhances the action of garlic by weakening the protective layer of insects.
How is it prepared?
Preparing the garlic infusion with neutral soap is simple and quick. Here is the recipe:
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 liter of water
- 1 tablespoon of neutral soap (liquid or grated)
Preparation:
1. Crush or crush the garlic.
2. Place the garlic in a pot with the water and bring to a boil.
3. Turn off the heat, cover and let it rest for 12 hours.
4. Strain the mixture and add the tablespoon of neutral soap.
5. Mix well and store in a bottle with a lid or directly in a sprayer.
Use within a few days to maintain its effectiveness.
How to apply it?
The garlic infusion with neutral soap is applied by spraying directly on the leaves, stems and affected areas of the plant.
How to use:
- Spray the plants completely, especially on the underside of the leaves.
- In case of active pest, apply every 3 days until you notice improvement.
- As a prevention, a weekly application can keep pests away.
Tips:
- Apply in the early hours of the day or at dusk.
- Avoid applying under intense sun or if rain is expected.
- Shake well before each use.
- Do not apply on open flowers to avoid disturbing pollinating insects.
