Using soap to curb pests

Soap solution can be used to control some pests especially in horticultural crops, cabbages included, as an integrated pest management strategy.

This approach, however, is only viable when the pest population is low and realistic under smallholder farming systems.

A bar soap or detergents can work well to make the solution. Lather the soap first in water depending on the type of pest and size of the farm, then spray the crops.
