Nemasys Grow Your Own Pest Control Nematodes is a unique mix of different nematode species to target a broad range of pests.

Nemasys has come up with an answer to gardeners' prayers - their new Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetable Pest Control. There is nothing more demoralising for home gardeners, and especially those new to gardening, than growing carrots, turnips, swedes or other root vegetables only to harvest them ready for the pot and find that they are full of root fly.

Grow Your Own is a unique mix of different nematode species to target a broad range of pests - some of the most common fruit and vegetable pests. Especially for the home gardener, it has been specifically researched to combat carrot root fly, cabbage root fly, leatherjackets, cutworms, onion fly, ants, sciarid fly, caterpillars, gooseberry sawfly, thrips, and codling moth. It is so easy to use that the gardeners do not have to worry about application times or thorough investigations as to what the pests actually are; they just follow the programme.

Nematodes kill target pests, in one of two ways, depending on the pest. For pests in the soil, such as root fly maggots, you apply the nematodes as a drench to the soil where they will be. For pests on the plant, such as caterpillars you spray the solution directly onto the pest. Start applying the nematodes when you plant out.

Ants are the exception, ants do not tolerate the nematodes near their nests and move the nests away from these areas.

With the new Grow Your Own mix whilst you are drenching the soil to target carrot root fly, you can also save a little of the solution to spray the soil in your greenhouse for sciarid fly. Equally you can be spraying for caterpillars and if ants are also in the vicinity you can target them at the same time.

When killing above surface pests like cabbage white caterpillars and thrips make sure you spray the pests you want to kill directly with the nematode solution.

Each pack covers up to 60m2.

Spring Programmed delivery 3 x 2 packs at 4 week intervals for 2 months.

PLEASE NOTE – An important condition for the proper use of beneficial insects (biological pest controls) is the correct identification of the pest. Although pests may look quite similar, the controls are very specific in the pest they target; efficient control critically depends on selecting the right biological pest control agent.
