| 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. | |
| Nemasys L is available in two pack sizes | |
| With only the best amenity essentials available, from turf dressings and fertilisers to spreaders and mulch material we have the essentials you need to ensure uniform and healthy turf and lawns time after time.
• Lawn fertilisers • Grass seed • Herbicides • Spreaders • Mulch material • Ornamental bark mulch | |
