Product Information

Maggots often chew or strip plant roots and tunnel stems affecting water and nutrient absorption in severely injured plants resulting in lost vigor, turn off-color and eventually death.

Effect of entomopathogenic nematode species, split application and potting medium on the control of the fungus gnat, Bradysia difformis (Diptera: Sciaridae), in the greenhouse at alternating cold and warm temperatures. Beneficial predatory Stratiolaelaps scimitus ( Hypoaspis miles) mites are considered as excellent biological agents to target and kill the soil-dwelling pupae of the western flower thrips that present in the soil.They're not actually attracted to the plant but the soil, so they can be found on all kinds of plants. pH will have no affect and Electrical Conductivity (EC) is not an issue with the infective juveniles.

Make sure that you shake or otherwise agitate the solution every couple of minutes to aerate the solution and stop the nematodes settling to the bottom. Some nematode species will predate on several different insect pests, whilst some only attack one pest. All of these products are labeled as a soil drench treatment against fungus gnat larvae and all but Scanmask are labeled for thrips pupae. Vine weevils are common pests that feed on over 200 species of plant, including fuschia and rhododendron, as well as berry fruits, like strawberries and raspberries. Tip: Fungus gnats are usually brought in from the grower when acquiring new plants, or sometimes they come in bags of potting soil.For the mini yellow sticky traps, simply place them in the soil around your plants using the wooden stand holder provided. The flies themselves are an unsightly nuisance but most of the damage is caused actually by their young.
