Want to get rid of wireworm? Plant phacelia in the aisles

Phacelia pignolata (Phacеlia tanacetifolia Benth.) — an annual plant of the family Modulistica, valuable honey plant. Characterized by rapid growth, the accumulation of a large amount of green mass. Root phacelia covers the soil depth to 20 cm during the period of growth of green weight, while improving the structure of the soil, it becomes loose and breathable. Phacelia can grow on any soil.

Phacelia grows quickly, forming large green masses. Unpretentious, cultivated in various conditions, on poor sandy and stony soils. Phacelia is a good honey plant. Bloom 6 weeks after sowing, so sow it in the spring until the beginning of June, it will flower all summer and autumn. Its tender leaves and stem to quickly decompose and serve as a good nitrogen fertilizer.





Phacelia unpretentious, possesses cold resistance may fall to tolerate frosts to -7-9 °C, so can be sown immediately after thawing of the soil. Sowing can be produced as a series, and randomly. The consumption of seeds — 8-10 g/ m2. Phacelia belongs to the family of hidrofila and thus may be a predecessor of any vegetable crops.

Sowed phacelia in the beds in the spring and landed on it then the seedlings of vegetables (zucchini, cabbage, etc.), thus protecting the seedlings from extremes of temperature at night and during the day is shade and wind protection. Planting seedlings is carried out in the beds of phacelia, making a pit and then sprinkle them with compost. 5-7 days phacelia cut it and mulch the soil in these beds.

Sowing of green manure

Sow phacelia can be any time from early spring to late autumn, the best time is June — July. For sowing the seed packet to mix with a glass of dry sand, scattered site and zaboraviti. Optimum depth of sowing is 2-3 cm amount of seed 150-200 gr. at a hundred. Soil digging with a turnover of formation to produce the accumulation of green mass in the flowering period.

In one season you can get 2-3 in the rotation. the period from sowing to beginning of flowering is 40-45 days.

After three weeks of flowering to mow the grass and dig the plot, digging the green a lot. The thicker you sow the grass, the more green mass and more is recycled back to the soil. After the first digging of processed soil down to the bayonet of shovel, and the bottom rises to the surface is not recycled soil. For high-quality processing of the soil with a bayonet spade, it is necessary to sow on newly raised land phacelia seeds. After such processing of the soil in the fall will receive a quality layer of the light, fertile soil.

Highly fall and podzimny crops, allowing us to obtain rich soil in early spring before the planting of main crops. To improve the quality of land (if the land has already been planted), in the fall after harvest, sow a plot of phacelia. For 1-2 months until frost phacelia grow and improve soil quality.





Phytosanitary properties of phacelia

To improve harvest of tomatoes, cucumbers, plant them on a plot planted with phacelia. In the grass and make a small nest hole and plant. Phacelia, releasing volatile, disinfect the entire area, retains moisture, attracts pollinators and distract pests. Vegetable crops do not get sick, grow faster, no empty shell. Sow phacelia around the beds, shrubs, trees for disinfection of site, pollination.

To increase the yield of potatoes after hilling, sow phacelia strips between the rows — it will help the top layer of the soil is not compacted, retains moisture, provides extra oxygen to the tubers. Promotes the growth and quality maturation of the tubers.

There is evidence that phacelia can inhibit the development of nematodes in the soil. Improving and enriching the soil phacelia makes it unfavorable for the habitat of harmful insects, in particular, after several years of growing phacelia, you can see that it eliminates the wireworm and other pests, prevent the emergence of viral diseases in vegetables, potatoes, etc.
