Nemasys 250 million/Tray case of 5

Beneficial nematodes are microscopic worms that attack and kill targeted insects, without affecting any other organisms. Within the infected insect, the beneficial nematodes continually reproduce and then spread out for long-term control.

Controls: Fungus Gnat and Western Flower Thrips.

Applications for Fungus Gnats: Fungus gnat larvae can be controlled with Nemasys® by making frequent, light applications (50 million/1100 ft² [100 m²]) or less frequent applications at higher rates (50 million/550 ft² [50 m²]). Application interval selected should be based on grower preference, management program, and crop growth characteristics. Regardless of interval selected, applications of Nemasys should begin early in the growth cycle. Apply in a sufficient volume of water to thoroughly soak the soil but not beyond the point where water overflows or leaches from pots, typically 30-50 gallons/1000 ft² (115-190 L/100 m²). Applications of Nemasys, should be made to moist soil and applied in the early morning or late evening to avoid high temperatures and nematode desiccation. Remove all sprayer filters of 50 mesh or finer and maintain pump pressure below 300 psi to avoid damaging nematodes. If Nemasys is applied over foliage, irrigate immediately with plain water to wash nematodes into the soil. Soil temperatures should be between 50-86 °F (10-30 °C).

Application for Western Flower Thrips: Begin a Nemasys® program early in a growing cycle by drenching soil at a rate of 50 million/1100 ft² (100 m²). Apply in a sufficient volume of water to thoroughly soak the soil or growing media, but not until water leaches from pots, typically 30-50 gallons/1000 ft² (115- 190 L/100 m²). Following the initial soil drench application, begin weekly or twice weekly foliar application using a light rate of 50 million/4400 ft² (400 m²) or a heavy rate of 50 million/2200 ft² (200 m²). For foliar applications, apply in a sufficient volume to assure uniform foliar coverage, but do not apply to run-off, typically 2.5 gallons/1000 ft² (10 L/100 m²). Applications should be made in the early morning or late evening to target thrips when their mobility is generally low and to avoid nematode desiccation. Do not apply in direct sunlight. Use blackout curtains, close vents, and switch off artificial lighting during and for at least 2 hours after application so as to minimize both UV light and heat exposure to the nematodes. Spray adjuvants will promote improved application uniformity and allow nematodes to reach the pest more effectively. Remove all sprayer filters of 50 mesh or finer and maintain pump pressure below 300 psi to avoid damaging nematodes. Soil or growing media temperatures should be between 50-86 °F (10-30 °C).
