| | Controlling vine weevil with nematodes | |
| | Vine Weevil (Otiorynchus sulcatus) is one of the most serious pests seen on ornamental nurseries. They are a constant threat, especially in hardy nursery stock, as adults can arrive on site from any number of sources, including bought in plants, and can easily establish a population.
Nemasys L - A curative treatment for use in temperatures above 5°C If larvae are found within your pots it will be necessary to apply a curative drench treatment of nematodes.
When used correctly nematodes can provide an excellent corrective treatment effect. Studies and experience have shown control levels in excess of 90% in many cases. However, success is based very much on correct timing and application. | |
