Steinernema feltiae
Fungus Gnat/Root Knot Exterminator
Target Pests:
Fly pests known collectively as "fungus gnats". Plant parasitic
nematodes, particularly those of the Root knot group. Humpbacked flies,
Fruit flies, Raspberry crown borer, Leaf miners, Cabbage maggot, Cucumber
beetles, Shore flies, Black cutworm, Tobacco cutworm, White grubs, Beet
armyworm, Onion maggot, Subterranean Termite and more.
Description:
Steinernema feltiae is a specially selected beneficial insect parasitic
nematode. Our isolates have been developed to be the best available in
the industry.
Product Information:
Steinernema feltiae is packaged on a sponge without dehydration and without
the use of unacceptable solvents, preservatives, or inhibitors making this
product suitable for use in organic and conventional gardening and farming.
The sponge formulation has the advantage that the nematodes can be easily
removed from the sponge into water and applied using a conventional garden
sprayer, a watering can, a hose-end sprayer, or introduced through closed
irrigation systems (not soaker hoses). Also, pieces of the sponge containing
nematodes can be placed on floating root mats of aquatic plants growing
in water, gardens, and ponds to control damaging fungus gnats. We also
pack our nematodes in small plastic injectors that can be used to inject
nematodes into bore holes made by wood and stem boring insects, into flower
pots and other indoor plant containers. Our nematodes are produced in natural
insect hosts with no artificial media. The nematodes and formulations we
use meet organic standards making them suitable for use in organic gardening
and farming.
Release Rates:
300 square feet of planted area - 5 million or 1 injector for 10 - 12 six
inch sites.
Lifespan:
The nematode enters the host and kills it within 24 to 48 hours. It then
reproduces within the hose and searches for new hosts. This hunt and seek
cycle provides long-term control.
Strategic Considerations:
Pesticides may adversely affect nematode survival. Broad-spectrum insecticides
are toxic to nematodes. |
