Best Answer

Aphids, hoplia beetles, spittlebugs and true bugs eat poppy plants. The flowering plants in question (Papaver genus) prove less vulnerable to the above-mentioned predatory feeders when such cultivation requirements as full sun, light fertilizer applications and well-drained soil are adhered to. The same situation will obtain in protecting poppy plants from attacks by down and powdery mildews, grey molds. Rhizoctonia root disease and tomato spotted wilt viruses as well as from nutrient and water-logging disorders and water deficits.
