€18,95 EUR
Unit price perEstimated delivery between 30 January and 06 February.
Beneficial animal for controlling ear weevil larvae. For outdoor use. In packages of 10 million or 50 million.
Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday.
Nematodes (Heterorhabditis sp.) Supplied in quantities of 10 million or 50 million in a mixture of fine clay. Nematodes, also known as roundworms, are microscopically small. They are found naturally in the soil, but usually not in large enough numbers.
After watering the product, the nematodes actively search the soil for earwig larvae. When a larva is found, it is infected by nematodes and dies. Infected larvae turn ochre. The dead larva then acts as a kind of “envelope” in which the nematodes reproduce. These nematodes can only live on insect larvae and therefore do not harm plants.
Treatment times
Since only the larval stages of ear weevil are infected by the nematodes, it is important to coordinate the timing of treatment with the ear weevil larval life cycle. In the garden and other treatment areas, treatment can be done in May/June as well as in August/September .
User manual
Use at a soil temperature between 12 and 25°C for effective treatment.
The contents of the bag are dissolved in water and watered onto the soil near the affected plants. The soil should be kept slightly moist for a week after treatment.
10 million is enough for a treatment of approximately 10-20 m² , and 50 million to approximately 50-100 m² .
Follow the fight
The control of ear weevil larvae is very effective, but as the adult weevils can live for over a year, eggs will continue to be produced during the first year. Therefore, collect any adult ear weevils at night with the help of a lantern, and follow the control in the soil. 2-3 weeks after the treatment, you should be able to find dead brown larvae along the roots of the plant.
Tip!
For easier deployment, please use a nematode dewaterer !
