Product description Gooseberry Sawfly lay eggs that develop into larvae that damage Gooseberry plants. Gooseberry Sawfly larvae will also attack Red and White Currants. The larvae will shred and defoliate leaves, and can leave severe damage if left untreated. The larvae look similar to caterpillars in size and shape, and are of green colouring with black dots. Gooseberry Sawfly larvae can be controlled naturally and safely with Gooseberry Sawfly Killer nematodes, which are deadly to the Sawfly larvae but safe to humans and wildlife. Gooseberry Sawfly Killer contains Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes. 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. Infected larvae will be completely broken down by the nematodes. The nematodes reproduce inside the larvae, releasing more nematodes into the surrounding area. Apply your Gooseberry Sawfly Killer Nematodes when damage to plants is observed or as soon as Gooseberry Sawfly have been observed. The optimum period to apply is from April to October. One pack will treat an area up to 35m2 or multiple Gooseberry bushes. 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 your plants and ensure spray directed onto the Gooseberry Sawfly larvae. 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.
