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

Product Information

The other important point is to apply the correct amount of nematodes as evenly as possible over the given area with enough water to achieve permeation and not excessive run off. Fungus gnats spread through flying adults, and can also be brought onto location through larvae contaminated soil. Place the stand holder into the soil in a pot, keeping the sticky card a few centimetres above the ground. Applications of nematodes should be made to moist soil and applied in the early morning or late evening to avoid high temperatures, UV exposure and nematode desiccation. Let's face it, us plant parents will do anything to protect our green babies, especially if there is a pest that can harm it.

The Fungus Fly, also known as the Sciarid Fly, can cause severe damage to many plants including house plants and plants being propagated. The flies themselves are an unsightly nuisance but most of the damage is caused actually by their young. This is due to the vast majority of live products, hardware and seed items being sent out from separate warehouses and the costs involved. Adult flies are nuisance to people and disseminate fungal spores from plant to plant as they disperse through the greenhouse. 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.The nematodes are then reared in state of the art liquid fermentation facilities before being formulated into a product which is able to keep the nematode in an alive but dormant state so that it reaches the grower in the best condition. You will need to treat all of your plants that are planted in potting soil, not just the ones showing signs of infestation.

Nematodes are compatible with a number of different pesticides; however, they are generally not compatible with organophosphates, carbamates, nematicides, and hydrogen dioxide. Within the now dead larvea there will start to grow a new generation of useful nematodes that will once again start to seek out larvae to infect.Fungus gnats / sciarid flies are usually a problem with young seedlings and cuttings during the first six weeks of cultivation. Adult fungus gnats do not damage plants; however, they can vector diseases like Pythium, Fusarium and Verticilium. The House Plant Mister/Sprayer included in this bundle is the very tool required for the latter application process.

However, use of these insecticides is restricted due to their environmental pollution and human health concerns, development of resistance to pesticides and removal of some of the most effective products from the market. Sciarid fly (also known as fungus gnat or compost fly) is a troublesome pest of houseplants and plants in greenhouses and conservatories. The beneficial nematodes will gradually sink to the bottom so stir occasionally as you pour to keep the nematodes distributed in the water. Fungus Fly Killer contains nematodes that kill Fungus Fly larvae (sometimes known as Sciarids) in the compost of house plants.

They are completely compatible with beneficial insects such as ladybugs, lacewings, and praying mantids and do not harm earthworms. Fungus Fly Killer contains Steinernema feltiae nematodes for the effective biological control of Fungus / Sciarid Fly. Slowly pour the nematodes into the water whilst stirring the solution to ensure all lumps are dissolved. Vine weevils are common pests that feed on over 200 species of plant, including fuschia and rhododendron, as well as berry fruits, like strawberries and raspberries.

Then water all your plants and do not try to achieve full drain as that will leach out the nematodes.But the 7 million active units in each container will hunt down, penetrate, and kill fungus gnat larvae. This site is maintained by Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment in the College of Natural Sciences. The resulting damage commonly shows up as nutrient and/or water deficiency brought about by decreased root absorption. Maggots often chew or strip plant roots and tunnel stems affecting water and nutrient absorption in severely injured plants resulting in lost vigor, turn off-color and eventually death.
