Nematodes are supplied in a cellulose-based carrier. ENs are applied like any traditional spray application via a boom spray, pump and hose or venturie system. Water volume is critical and we suggest for weevils and scarabs apply a min 500lts per/ha, for Caterpillar controls apply at least 250sqm/ha. Post irrigation is essential to ensure the nematodes can connect to the insect host. If the soil is dry pre –irrigation is recommended.
