| Brassica and apple growers will be pleased to learn that the dreaded Cabbage White Caterpillar and Codling Moths in fruit trees can be controlled by nematodes. Commercial growers have been successfully using the nematode Steinernema carpocapse for some years on the two pests and now it is available to everyone. |

 Codling MothThe nematodes are applied directly to the cabbages and other brassicas as a wash. We supply 3 applications to be used as soon as you see the pest to kill caterpillars that will hatch over a period of time. Quote: "I was amazed with the results when I used it. After the first application most of the caterpillars disappeared but you need to use a further two applications five days or a week after each other to ensure all hatchings are killed. The solution needs to be applied to all leaf surfaces and you need to make sure that you spray the pest. Pests not directly sprayed will not be controlled so do make sure that you hit them."

For Codling Moths the nematodes are used to control the over wintering pupae on trees and ground from September. The nematodes are applied with a pump sprayer during the evenings or on dull days. |
