Apply early morning or late evening to minimize the effect of heat and sunlight. Turn off artificial lights that may dry plant surfaces too quickly.
Ensure the soil surface is moist at the time of application.
When applying directly to the soil, use at least 4 litres/m² water, or 1,200 l/ha for Chafer Grub.
For drench applications over foliage, use lower water volumes and irrigate within 30 minutes with at least 1 litre/m² to wash nematodes off leaves and below the soil surface.
Keep soil moist for 3-4 weeks after application for optimum results.
Apply the entire spray solution once mixed; do not store for longer than 4 hours.
Remove all fine filters in tubing and nozzles; use nozzles with at least 0.8 mm diameter.
Keep nematode solution continuously agitated or add carboxymethyl cellulose (wallpaper paste) at 0.4% w/v to prevent settling; use mixture within 4 hours.
Do not exceed a pump pressure of 20 bar/300psi, or 6 bar/100psi for Dosatron.
Compatibility:
Avoid mixing with pesticides and adjuvants (wetting agents) unless compatibility is confirmed.
If unsure, avoid application 1 week before and 2 weeks after pesticide application.
Do not mix with fertilizers; however, fertilization directly before or after application should not be a problem.
Storage and Transport:
Use the product as soon as possible upon delivery.
Use the entire pack at once.
Store at 39 to 47°F for a limited period (see expiration date).
Do not freeze.
Store bags in a refrigerator without the box, or in a cool storage room with the carton open but not the bag.
Larvanem (OMRI) from Natural Enemies has been a fantastic solution for controlling soil-dwelling pests in my garden, and I love that it’s organic and OMRI certified.
