Vetikatega nakatunud Agave taimed võivad surevad mäda.
Agave (Agavaceae) taimed loovad esteetiliselt meeldiva taimestiku xeriscape aedades, madala veega taimedega ruumides. Kaktidest sarnanev sarnasus on agave mahlakad mitmeaastased taimed, millel on lihavad, peened lehed, mis mõnikord on teravate hammastega vooderdatud. Need ulatuvad suurusega väikestest taimedest, mis sobivad ideaalselt siseruumides 12-suu kõrgusega rajatisteks, mille varred on kuni 40 jalga kõrgemal. Agave vaenlased hõlmavad mitut tüüpi vigu, mis võivad taime välimust mööda tuua ja põhjustada tõsiseid kahjustusi.
Kaalumälude putukad
Kaalud sisaldavad kolme tüüpi putukaid ja üle 1000 liigi Põhja-Ameerikas. See mitmekesine rünnakute rünnak võib tõsiselt kahve tekitada, taimede liha sirgudes ja sapimisel. Nakatunud taimed on värvi muutnud ja aeglustunud kasvu. Soomustatud kaalud, pehmed kaalud ja mealiboogid kuuluvad kogu ulatuses putukate perekonda.
Atlandi rünnaku ohvriks langenud skaalad hõlmavad Latani skaalat (Hemiberlesia lataniae), oleander-skaalat (Aspidiotus nerii) ja austraalikaalu (Lepidosaphes ulmi). Neil on kõva kate, mis kaitseb nende kehasid ja naiste mune.
Lisaks imejahale, pehmetele kaaludele ja mealybugs'ile tekivad niinimetatud leetjasjäätmed. Lillesibul kasvab musta hallituse, mis põhjustab taimede edasist kahjustamist. Pehme kaaluga, mis söödavad agaavale, kuuluvad poolkeralised liigid (Saissetia coffeae).
Taimeliigesi vaenlane on suur juutsakaste (Puto yuccae).
Snout Weevils
Päikesepikendused (Scyphophorus acupunctatus) on tõsised kahjurid ja toituvad mitmest Agave liikidest. Pruunikas-mustad putukad on umbes poolteist tolli pikkad ja neil on pikad tuharad. Nad närivad taimi ja jätavad mädanenud haavad. Naine-pahkluu rasvkarbid asetavad agave niisutavad munad. Vastsed söödavad taime mahlakese tuuma. Kahjustatud taimed hakkavad kollapsi, kui kudede mädanemine areneb ja lõpuks surevad.
Lehtkülmutatud taimevigad
Kui lehtkülmetest taimevigastused läbivad anagve liha, jätavad nad taimele helekollase armi. Need on suuremad kui kaalud ja nina nõelad ja nad võivad kasvada kuni tolli pikkusega. Nad on kergesti äratuntavad. Neil on pruun kitsas keha, terav pea ja valge riba taga. Külma ilmaga leiavad nad kaitstud alasid, nagu puuraukud, puukütuste pragud ja prahide vaiad.
Kahjuritõrje
Agave'i vigade esinemise kontrollimine hõlmab meetodite segu. Looduslikud vaenlased, näiteks parasiitide isased, kes söövad kaalusid, võivad aidata kahjuripopulatsiooni kontrollida. Insektitsiidse seebi ja aroomiõli pihustite madalate mürgiste lahuste abil saab väikseid nakkusi kõrvaldada. Tugevamad müügilolevad pihustuspestid võivad kahjurite hävitada, kuid need võivad kahjustada läheduses olevaid taimi ja hävitada kasulikud putukad.
FAQ - 💬
❓ How do you treat agave mites?
👉 If Agave mite has entered your collection, and evidence of contamination is found on more than one plant, rotate at least two translaminar miticides (three is preferable), spraying your entire collection top to bottom (but mostly the top) at 4-week inter- vals, deferring to miticide instructions.
❓ What happens if you get poked by an agave plant?
👉 A more common symptom of exposure to agave plants is skin irritation, or dermatitis. This can happen when a person is pricked by the sharp spines or if the sap gets on exposed skin. It can cause a very painful, prickly feeling rash that can develop into weeping blisters.
❓ What is growing out of my agave plant?
👉 When agaves reach maturity, they send up a giant stalk out of its rosette of leaves. That means the parent plant is about to die.
❓ Why does my agave have holes?
👉 The most common sign of agave snout weevil is damage right where leaves meet the plant's stem. The plant's lower leaves usually show the first signs of wrinkling or wilting around May. Sometimes, you can spot a tiny hole about the size of a pencil near the base of a leaf where the weevil burrowed to lay eggs.
❓ What does aloe mite look like?
👉 1:4814:27What are Aloe Mites and what to do with them? | #aloe| #careforaloesYouTube
❓ How do you get rid of aloe mites?
👉 Physical removal is the only way to get rid of the galls. Some people recommend cutting the growth off of the plant and treating the area with a pesticide that kills arachnids, but the plants often continue to grow the unsightly galls, even after the pests and their current growths have been removed.
❓ Does agave plant make you itch?
👉 Exposure to Agave plants has been reported to cause skin irritation and rashes.
❓ Is agave toxic to dogs?
👉 Agave (Agave spp.), which grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 11, is mildly toxic to dogs and humans when ingested. It probably won't kill your canine companion, but it will probably cause discomfort and pain.
❓ Should I cut the agave stalk?
👉 We certainly wouldn't recommend cutting the stalk until you have fully enjoyed the spectacular show. After it finishes blooming, go ahead and cut the stalk off (not an easy thing to do) because it's pretty unattractive and as it dries up, could topple over and hit something.
❓ What is a death bloom?
👉 So, what is a death bloom? A death bloom is a single flower stalk that grows vertically from the apex of the plant only once during its lifetime. As the plant produces seeds, it redirects energy away from the roots and leaves towards the seeds, resulting in the eventual death of the plant.
❓ How do you prevent agave weevils?
👉 Minor infestations can be controlled by removing and discarding the affected plants. With rare or special specimens, chemical prevention using a broad-spectrum insecticide applied to the soil at the base of the agave plants in spring would also be effective in controlling agave snout weevil populations.
❓ What are these bugs on my agave plant?
👉 They usually infect agave plants growing in zones 8 to 10, and outdoor agaves are more prone to infestations than indoor potted agaves. Signs your agave is infected with the caulotops barberi bugs include chew marks on the leaves, scabs, spots, or speckles. The bugs might also cause the succulent to grow deformed or stunt its growth.
❓ What is snout weevil damage to Agave?
👉 Snout weevil damage is extensive and soon leads to death of the plant. The agave is a succulent plant also known as the Century plant. This is due to the bloom habit of the plant.
❓ What is Killing my agave plants?
👉 This pest is a double edged sword, doing damage to agave and other plants in both its beetle and larval form. Damage occurs quickly, followed by death because the bite of the weevil deposits bacteria that literally rot the agave.
❓ How do agave weevils get inside plants?
👉 The insect uses its proboscis to tunnel into an agave’s roots and heart. Because it’s feeding inside the plant, the weevil doesn’t reveal its presence until the agave starts to lose nutrients and die.
