Diatomite as a natural bioinsecticide from the company "Dobri Roslini"

Diatomaceous earth, also known as diatomaceous earth or kieselguhr, is a natural sedimentary mineral formed from the fossilized shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. Due to its unique particle structure, this material has long been used as an effective and safe bioinsecticide. Unlike chemical insecticides, diatomaceous earth acts mechanically, preventing insects from developing a tolerance, making it popular among gardeners, farmers, and homeowners.

Mechanism of action on insects

Diatomaceous earth's primary mechanism of action is the destruction of the chitinous shell. Diatomaceous earth particles have microscopic sharp edges and high absorption capacity. When a pest comes into contact with the powder, diatomaceous earth:

• damages the waxy coating on the surface of the insect's body;

• absorbs moisture and sebum;

• leads to dehydration and death.

Thus, diatomaceous earth does not poison, but rather physically neutralizes insects, making it absolutely safe for humans, animals, and plants.

Garden use

Using diatomaceous earth in the garden can effectively protect trees and shrubs from a wide range of pests. The powder can be applied:

• on leaves and trunks to prevent damage by aphids, ants and caterpillars;

• on the root zone to protect against soil insects;

• into the crown of fruit trees to prevent infestations of codling moths and leaf rollers.

Because diatomite is toxin-free, it can be used even during the period of ovary formation without fear of affecting the quality of the harvest.

Application in the garden

In garden beds, diatomaceous earth helps control Colorado potato beetles, slugs, ants, and other pests. Recommended:

• dust the leaves of potatoes and tomatoes;

• treat the spaces between rows to prevent the spread of slugs;

• Apply powder to the soil when planting to protect root crops.

In addition, diatomaceous earth improves the soil structure: it makes it looser and more breathable, increases moisture capacity, and promotes the development of beneficial microflora.

Household use

At home, diatomaceous earth is used to control cockroaches, ants, bedbugs, fleas, and woodworm. The powder can be sprinkled:

• along baseboards and cracks;

• around areas where insects congregate;

• in closets and pantries.

Diatomaceous earth is odorless, hypoallergenic, and can be used even in areas with children and pets.
