Product description Cutworms are the larvae of several moths, the most common being the Turnip Moth (Agrotis segetum). They are grey to brown in colour and curl up when disturbed. Cutworms feed at night, on the ground surface, and damage vegetables, salad plants and low growing ornamental plants. They feed on the roots of seedlings and collapse young plants where they have been feeding. Other symptoms of damage show as girdled plant stems, severed roots and wilted plants. Cutworm Killer contains Steinernema nematodes that can be applied as a soil drench to control and kill Cutworms. The nematodes enter the larvae via a natural opening, like the mouth, and feed on the contents of the larvae. A natural bacterium is produced by the nematodes inside the larvae, which kills it. The nematodes reproduce inside the larvae, releasing more nematodes into the surrounding area. Once the Cutworms are killed, the nematodes die back to natural levels in the soil. Apply Cutworm Killer Nematodes when damage is observed or when Cutworms have been located in the soil. The optimum period to apply is between April to October. Choose a humid or wet day to apply your Nematodes. Nematodes are UV-sensitive and will not survive long when exposed to bright, sunny conditions. Apply the nematodes early in the morning or early evening to utilise optimum humidity levels. Empty contents of your 25 million sachet of nematodes into a bucket or container of 2.5 litres of water and mix thoroughly. Fill your sprayer (hand held sprayers should suffice, with filters removed - or use our Nema Super Sprayer or 8/15 Litre Pump Action Sprayers for optimum nematode application) with the mixed 2.5 litres of nematode concentrate and add another 5.5 litres of water so you are left with 8 litres of nematode solution. spray the soil and ensure plenty of the spray solution is applied and directed where possible directly onto the Cutworms. Ensure soil is moist for 2 weeks since application. Full instructions are provided on delivery. Legal Disclaimer You can store unopened nematode packs in a fridge but it is best to ensure you apply your nematodes as soon as possible for the best results.
