The sycamore lace bug can potentially devastate all plane trees.
It is actually a stink bug that comes to “suck” the sap from the underside of leaves.
Whitish and blackish blemishes appear and the leaves fall off. Spots are tiny but coalesce. They’re often grouped near leaf veins.
Tiny quarter-inch (3mm) bugs feed in clusters on the underside of leaves.
Spraying an insecticide is a well-known method and it is the most effective one.
But to protect our planet, there is a method that derives from organic gardening.
Simply pressure-spray the trunks and structural branches of your plane tree with rapeseed oil to dislodge and suffocate the insect pests.
I would like to learn about a treatment against japanese scarabee in my vinegrape, an organic treatment that does not cost too much money and that is naturel.
Lots of thanks to you !
