At this rate, my plants will be gone by harvest !!
Hey,
Yup a regular citrus based dishsaop without all kinds of perfumes and colours if possible. Health stores stock all kinds as do bulk stores.
This will take care of a bunch of pests and most eggs. What it does is forms a kind of skin around the egg and dries it out preventing it from maturing.
It also makes for an unpleasant snck for what is chomping on your babies. It wont work for every pest but Its a good clean start.
Usually 2 applications will do. But it is important to watch for wilting, a sign that your plants are suffocating from a coating on the leaves. All you need to do then is rinse it off. But, the soap should sit for 24 hrs.
There are some good insecticidal soaps you can find at garden centres that have an extra kick to take care of some hardier pests but I always have tried the plain 'ol soap first...in the soil as well since many pests egg in soil not on the leaf or main stock.
Pics will help some of the more 'pro' growers to ID what your pest is.
good luck, none of us want to see babes die.
