Sciarid Fly Nematodes Fungus Gnat Compost Fly Organic Natural Killer Treatment Treats 12.sqm

Product Information

Apply your Fungus Fly Killer Nematodes when damage to plants is observed or when Fungus Fly activity has been observed. Seedlings, young plants and unrooted cuttings lacking fully developed root systems are particularly vulnerable to larvae. Mini yellow sticky traps catch and kill the adult gnats, and so using this combination deals with both life stages for a higher chance of complete eradication. Made from plant extracts, it provides the necessary nutrition for house plants and improves overall plant health by bolstering natural defences against pests and diseases.

Nematodes Steinernema feltiae are natural parasites of the fungus gnat larvae, which hide in your soil and hatch into new flies. Preventative – As a preventative apply as part of a structured periodic application or in advance of historical seasonal infestations. They are completely compatible with beneficial insects such as ladybugs, lacewings, and praying mantids and do not harm earthworms.This site is maintained by Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment in the College of Natural Sciences. Andermatt's sticky traps use a double combination of bright yellow card and black line patterns to really attract the gnats. Common egg-laying sites include moist organic debris/potting soil, decaying wood (mulch), and ground cover plants. Steinernema feltiae is primarily used against fungus gnat larvae and western flower thrips pupae in the soil.

Nematodes are generally applied in water suspension as spray applications to the surface of plant growing medium to target larval and pupal stages. Some carrier cellulose may not fully dissolve and can block watering can holes, so monitor and clear holes as necessary. Fungus Gnats ( Orfelia and Bradysia) are gray to black, mosquito-like insects that prefer warm, humid conditions. Slowly pour the nematodes into the water whilst stirring the solution to ensure all lumps are dissolved. Stir and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the nematode to separate from the packing material.

House Plant Boost is an organic liquid fertiliser that improves the strength and resistance of your plants, where our Fungus Fly Killer Nematodes and Mini Tulip Sticky Traps will offer protection by killing common house plant pests. If new plant material is introduced into a greenhouse area, or if yellow sticky card monitoring indicates that fungus gnat populations exceed action thresholds, conventional insecticides can be used to quickly reduce adult populations. The beneficial nematodes will gradually sink to the bottom so stir occasionally as you pour to keep the nematodes distributed in the water. No, for example fungus gnat nematodes can be applied to a single plant pot with a minimal fungus gnat infestation to stamp it out early. Utilise these predators in combination with your Fungus Fly Killer Nematodes for the complete protection against Fungus Fly infestation.

Beneficial Nematodes are supplied in a cellulose-based carrier and can be applied with any equipment traditionally used for spray applications. miles) helps break up the life cycle and eventually controls fungus gnat infestations by feeding on larvae and pupae. The effectiveness may be improved by adding a wetting agent and try to apply them in high humidity conditions for foliar applications. Do NOT apply at other times, even if it is overcast, as they cannot tolerate high UV light ie direct sun.If you were to squeeze the pot 1 or 2 drops of water would come out, so not waterlogged but not dry. Our beneficial nematode products are exempt from EPA required pesticide registration, so they are a great control option for commercial interiorscapes since no license or registration is required for application. Adult fungus gnats do not damage plants; however, they can vector diseases like Pythium, Fusarium and Verticilium. Fungus gnat flies are black or gray in color with clear wings, relatively small (3-4 mm) in size and commonly associated with compost and natural soils with high organic contents.
