5 Natural Remedies for Root Maggot Control

Beetles are garden pests that can be very destructive. These pests eat and destroy plant roots, causing slow and erratic growth of their crops, sometimes even killed. They are particularly active and annoying during the first planting season.
They are often invisible and grow underground to feed the roots of a variety of crops such as cabbage, radishes, turnips, carrots and onions. Infested plants by the larvae of the root appear yellowish, stunted, wilt and sometimes during the day, when the sun is at its peak. beetles leave burrowing holes and plant food, cultures that make susceptible to rot as the black rot disease.

Adult worms are dark gray flies that look like a housefly, but smaller. Measuring about 1/5 inch long, which lay their eggs in the soil at the base of their favorite host plants. Worms hatching eggs are yellowish-white in the form of bowl larvae. They have a stubby tail and a tapered or pointed head.
Lifecycle beetle
Beetles overwinter in cocoons of pupae. Adults first emerge in early spring cocoons pupa and quickly begin to mate. female worms lay their eggs on the plant stems at ground level or in a crack in the ground near the stems of the plant, which has about 50 to 200 eggs at a time.
The eggs hatch in a few days and newly hatched larvae then drill its way down into the soil where they will eat the roots, root hairs and the seeds germinate. They continue to feed on crops for about one to three weeks before entering the pupal stage to mature to adulthood. Many generations occur in one year.
How to control beetles
Floating row covers - When it comes time to lay eggs, the female flies are attracted to moisture in newly planted rows of seeds. The new seed should be covered, ensuring that the cover extends at least 6 inches on each side of the rows of seeds. This will prevent the flies get in mature females to lay their eggs.
Paper collars - In plants transplant, you can wear a necklace of thick paper at the base of the plants to keep the female worms lay eggs around the stem.
