      Begonia, a pest that eats its leaves

      Hi, can you please help me with a treatment plan?
      They were planted in spring, with bulbs, in pots, kept outside on the patio.
      This is my first year having them, and for a while something has been eating their leaves.

      Hello. The begonia in the pictures shows specific symptoms of a pest attack (possibly caterpillars, or various larvae), but in the absence of photos of them, an exact identification is not possible. In this case, you can treat with a broader spectrum insecticide such as Mavrik 2 F, 5 ml, in a dose of 5 ml/10 L water. To increase the effectiveness of the insecticide, it is advisable to add an adjuvant to the solution such as: Break Thru S 240, 2 ml, in a dose of 2 ml/10 L. Spray the solution as finely and evenly as possible on the plant, on the topside and underside of the leaves.
      Afterwards, 10 days after completing the treatment, it is recommended to use a maintenance product: Contra X, 500 ml, applied directly by spraying. It can be used for plants that have been attacked by pests.
