This already successful product has now been substantially improved. Over many years we have been working with HRI, the leading UK based horticulture research group, to bring forward this exciting development.

Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer contains a newly found nematode, Steinernema kraussei. This new nematode has some very impressive benefits including;

• Consistently greater effectiveness over and above the previous nematode (Heterorhabditis megidis)

• Ability to work at cold temperatures. This new nematode will work at temperatures down to 5ºC (40ºF) (Heterorhabditis required a minimum of 12ºC (54ºF)), so that you can protect your plants earlier in the year.

• Most gardeners notice that they have a problem with vine weevil in February/March (this is when they notice their plants are sick), previously they had to wait until April/May to apply Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer, now they can use the product straight away from March onwards.

• Prevention is better than cure, so it is better to apply the product in autumn, before the problem develops. Again the new Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer nematode will provide much improved performance here. In particular, gardeners can apply it well into November, providing a much longer application window.

To keep a minor problem at bay, one autumn treatment (September - November) should be adequate.

For a serious infestation, treat in the spring and again in the autumn

Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer will kill larvae present.

For a serious infestation, treat in the spring and again in the autumn

Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer will kill larvae present in the area and protect against further larvae damage for up to four weeks.

Apply when the soil temperature is at a minimum of 5ºC (40ºF) and the vine weevil larvae are present. Outdoors, this is usually from March to November.

Indoors, vine weevil can be controlled year round.

Apply directly to the soil around the roots.

Instructions for garden hose feeder application of Nemasys and Nemaslug

These instructions are applicable to all pack sizes up to 100m2 and products in the Nemasys Home & Garden range. However, please note the different application timings in point 4. when applying to lawns.

• Wash the feeder through with water to ensure it is clean.
• Add entire contents of the pack to the bowl of the feeder. Then fill the bowl with water and stir to mix thoroughly. Attach the hose.
• Taking care to keep the feeder in an upright position apply evenly to the whole of the area for 8 minutes using a side-to-side motion to keep the nematodes well mixed. During this time most of the nematodes will have been applied.
• Treat the same area again for a further 8 minutes (or 16 minutes for lawn applications) to apply the remaining nematodes as well as to make sure they are adequately watered in. Applications to lawns require more water to ensure the nematodes are washed through the grass thatch.
• Adhering strictly to the application timings will ensure that any remaining colour in the bowl will be due to inert carrier only and that you have performed an even application.
• This new method provides a simple and effective application, however, it is important to follow the instructions exactly to obtain even coverage.
• Only the following high quality feeders are recommended for use with this method;

o Phostrogen® Handy Feeder
o Miracle-Gro® Feeder

NB: When applying to pots it is still better to use the watering can method as it would be difficult to judge the area and timing.
