Message Board - Natural Turf: worms

Just took over local cricet club square is full of worm casts,what is the best product on the market to control worms.

Worms

Unfortunatly lumbricides are now pretty inafective as they`ll only last about a month or so.

But Use a carbendazim based product.

Culturaly Manage OM (Which you shouldn`t have much thatch on your square anyway)

And Avoid Lime based products that`ll increase PH as they (Worms) like Alkaline conditions.

But you know what..I`ve got a PH of 5.5 and minimal OM and i`ve still got problems with them

Suppose that throws the rule book out doesn`t it !

Everyone has the same problem.

Thanks

I had our sport areas sprayed in october last year with a Carbenazine product and we have'nt seen a worm since !!
4 months thats not bad.

thats cos your sports area is astro.....hiya steve.....

Believe it or not at certain times of the year we do get worms on top of the astro !! Strange but true.

yeah but are they casting... not just going from one side of your campus to the other to spy on the girls,, if they are casting are they using Kango hammers...hehehe

For the past couple of years I,ve sprayed the whole ground with a carbenazim based product once before the start of the season April and at the end of the season September, it seems to have a cumlative effect and my worm problem has gone, hopefully

Worms are hermaphrodite - they look at the boys too, ticky.

hi hipper....i thought hermaphrodite meant they have male and female reproductive organs,? (so if you tell them to off ,they can)
