Do beneficial nematodes actually work?
Beneficial nematodes can be a great alternative to chemical pesticides, and a very effective addition to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. However, beneficial nematodes are living organisms and using them for pest control does require accurate information, proper storage and shipping and careful application.
How do you know if nematodes are working?
Using a spade or shovel, turn up the ground where nematodes were applied, to check for dead larvae. Once you have seen dead larvae, this tells you that the nematodes are working.
What is the best time to apply nematodes?
It's a good idea to apply your nematodes during low light periods (morning or evening are best). It is very important that you mix and apply your nematodes quickly so they don't 'expire' in the can. You want to insure the nematodes have a chance to get into the soil before the water is evaporated.
What beneficial nematodes kill?
Beneficial Nematodes hunt down, penetrate, and kill most soil dwelling pests. They will remain effective for about 2 years, but annual applications are recommended. They will also attack over wintering adult insects, pupae, diapausing larvae, and grubs when they are in the soil, bark, or even ground litter.
