Steinernema carpocapsae
NEMAcontrol carpocapsae is a biological product and contains the insect parasitic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae. After administration, the nematodes actively search for and penetrate the prey, after which they excrete bacteria, killing the prey. NEMAcontrol carpocapsae is completely safe for humans, the environment, the crop and beneficial insects. The nematodes are active at a soil temperature between 12 and 30°C. The parasitic nematodes of S. carpocapsae have both a soil and a foliar application.

  • Fill the spray vessel(s) with the required amount of water.
  • Apply the nematode solution immediately after mixing.

Application

  • The application can be carried out with the usual spraying equipment.
  • Remove all filters smaller than 0.3 mm (300 microns).
  • The pump pressure must not exceed 20 bar/2000 kPa.
  • During application, continuously stir the spray fluid to prevent settling of the nematodes.
  • Use a nozzle of 0.5 mm (500 microns) or larger.

Recommendations

  • Ensure moist conditions during application.
  • Do not apply in sunny weather.
  • (Bottom) temperature between 14 - 30 °C.
  • In a soil application against bank fly larvae, make sure that the nematodes end up on the top layer as much as possible.
  • In the case of a foliar application against caterpillars, ensure a foliar wet period of at least 2 hours.
  • Eels can be applied together with various crop protection agents; for more information on tank mixes, consult your product specialist.
