Im looking for a naturel solution to rid of my caterpillars on my plant. I heard a diluted spray of aloe Vera may help but im not sure does anyone know anything? or any alternatives

Diphel PRO DF , I would mix in a organic wetting agent like yucca extract along with it

can be mixed with alot of stuff np, read manuals of other existing products to see if u can mix in other stuff . I would spray low rate in start of season and when u know pressure changes in ur zone raise the rate to mid-highest and also increase spraying cycles from 7-14 days preventative to when needed in pest pressure every 3-4 days and also after rain storms .

like many pest or molds, I would scout exp when they are known a issue daily and even bend the branches/buds when doing so cause it def can prevent some major obvious damage and lower chances of way population becoming more of a issue .



amazon nd other wholesalers has a better price, but here’s general info on yucca extract. Wetting agent 1/32-1/16th teaspoon per gallon

Sure, but it’s not gonnea kill ur caterpillars if the pest populations exist. I would use that for ur wetting agent with ur foliars vs buying yucca if you got enough aloe for whole season . Build a soil has a 200x extract of aloe I used to use, very beneficial and great wetting agent

I am testing button quail for bug control. I regularly dose my plants with ladybugs, have several praying mantis egg sacks that have hatched.
