Thin asparagus spears can indicate that plants need care. Common reasons include young plant age, insufficient nutrients, overharvesting, crowded conditions, and stress from pests or diseases. To achieve thicker spears, gardeners should ensure proper fertilization, avoid aggressive harvesting, provide adequate spacing, and monitor for pests and diseases. Patience is essential.
Citrus stink bugs, small shield-shaped insects, can damage citrus fruits by causing brown spots and misshapen fruits. To manage infestations, gardeners should identify stink bugs early, employ organic methods like hand-picking, encouraging natural predators, using neem oil, and set up physical barriers. Preventive measures include keeping gardens clean and monitoring nearby plants.
