Description
Nemasys L – Vine Weevil Larvae Control (50 Million Pack) (Steinernema kraussei)
Vine Weevil (Otiorynchus sulcatus) is one of the most serious pests seen on ornamental nurseries. It is a constant threat, especially in hardy nursery stock, as adults can arrive on-site from any number of sources, including bought-in plants, and establish a population. Once on-site numbers can build rapidly over a year or two, and if not kept in check can cause considerable damage.
Nemasys L is a highly effective biological control solution designed to target and eliminate vine weevil larvae in soil or container-grown crops. This product contains beneficial nematodes (Steinernema kraussei) , which actively seek out and infect vine weevil larvae, providing rapid and curative control.
Effective Control: Targets and kills vine weevil larvae, preventing root damage and plant loss.
Cold-Temperature Tolerant: Functions in soil temperatures as low as 5°C, making it suitable for use in various climates.
Long-Lasting: Provides protection for up to 4 weeks after application.
Safe and Natural: A biological solution that poses no risk to humans, pets, or the environment.
Application Rates:
Open Ground: 50 million pack treats up to 50m²
Pots/Containers: 50 million pack treats up to 100m²
Usage Instructions:
Prepare Stock Solution: Suspend one 50 million tray of Nemasys L in 10 litres of water in a clean bucket. Agitate the stock solution.
Dilution:
