Agralan Vine Weevil Nematodes – Natural Control for Vine Weevil Larvae
Vine weevils are destructive pests, with larvae feeding on plant roots and stem bases from mid to late summer through winter. This can significantly weaken or kill plants, especially those in containers. Vine weevils also pose a threat to strawberries and some garden border plants. The larvae are distinctively cream-colored, ‘C’-shaped, with brown heads.
Active Ingredient: Beneficial nematodes (Steinernema kraussei)
These microscopic nematodes actively target vine weevil larvae, feeding and reproducing inside their hosts. The infested larvae stop feeding and die, breaking the pest's lifecycle.
Application:
-
Supplied as a powder to be mixed with water for easy application.
-
Suitable for use with a watering can, sprayer, or Aquanemix system.
-

Usage Guidelines:
-
Optimal treatment periods are October (autumn) and March (spring).
-
For maximum efficacy, apply in autumn and consider a follow-up treatment in spring if necessary.

Ensure the soil or compost remains moist for several days after application to support nematode activity.
This environmentally friendly solution provides an effective defense against vine weevil larvae, ensuring the health and vitality of your plants.
