My poor
dwarf pak choy are full of holes and green droppings recently. I check through
the leaves and notice that there are a lot of uninvited guests, happily enjoying themselves
for this pesticide free pak choy.
These worms are either in light brown or
light green in color. I just hate them. My pak choy grew so beautiful before
invaded by these creatures!!!
These little
creatures really cause a lot of damage on my pak choy. I hand-pick and destroy
the worms every single day but I still can see them everyday! Their grow rate was
so fast!
I do
not like to harvest green vegetable that have not fully reach their mature
stage. I feel it is a waste, as the green vegetable may grow bigger in
little short time.
But at last, I decide to harvest the pak choy. I had
inspected the pak choy for worms every single day in 2 weeks time, but it did
not turn well. I better harvest it before the worms finish them for me.
eeyyee...you hand-pick them? gelinya woohh...kalau i mmg either i cabut pokok terus or letak racun if no choice...once they invaded yr vege at the stage, then finish...look very ugly then...
ReplyDeletebtw any green veges we harvest, bf cook make sure soak in salt water for sometimes, it will kill the insects and clean the veges...
hahaa....sis. i tak takut pada worm. masa kecil-kecil dah pandai gali cacing bagi ikan makan. macam lelaki ja kan. haha. ya la. super ugly!!!!!! ya, thanks for reminding me. i heard that b4 but i forgot. the vege stil sit in the fridge. lazy. sebab susah mao cuci a lot soil terlekat :(
ReplyDeletesayang lah sayur ni..dah jadi rezeki ulat.Tak apa ya..mana yg.tinggal rezeki olive.Nanti tanam lagi.
ReplyDeletehaha. ya la sis. nanti i nak tanam labu air macam sis. tertarik dgn hasilnya
DeleteTo prevent the caterpillar number increase, is to check earlier for butterfly eggs. The butterfly like to lay their eggs on underside of the leave. Nampak telur titik putih tu.
ReplyDeleteI am having the same problem as well with my greens with caterpillar and snail.
hmm...i was always too late. the eggs were already turn into small small green worms by the time i checked. Hate the caterpillar & snail. our greens will have a hard time to grow if these creatures are around. susahnya
Deleteowh... teruk juga ye serangan yg dilakukan... elok jugalah dituai awal dpd langsung tak merasa...
ReplyDeletetu la...terpaksa diharvest. cant imagine kalau yg ditanam komercial tu, racun yg disembur mesti banyak
Deletethat's why kalau beli sayur kat pasar, jgn la beli yg almost perfect. Itu dah sah2 letak racun.. pernah Rizal belikan, dia celur pun masih kuat bau chemicalnya seakan2 bau minyak gas, buang satu pot.
ReplyDeleteAgree Lynnhelite! takut la kan. makan sayur pun risau.yish! best la tengok ur post abt kk. had been there for 3 yrs last time. rindu!
