Therefore it is better to apply chemicals. This pollination by dust and spraying by any medicine from garden wreckers. For example, means ""Commodore"", Intavir, etc. The cabbage plant louse is not less dangerous. She appears already on more adult plants, cabbage does not perish, but growth and forming of heads of cabbage slows down that leads to decrease in productivity. It is possible to struggle with plant louse on cabbage soap solution and also chemical medicines. Closer to fall often cabbage perishes from cabbage scoops. This is such brown butterfly leading nocturnalism. She lays eggs out of which caterpillars, which very gluttonous are brought on cabbage leaves. If heads of cabbage still small, caterpillars are capable to spoil them completely. It is necessary to fight against cabbage sovka by method of collecting of wreckers and eggs manually from leaves.
