Carrot Root Fly Nematodes

Carrot root fly nematodes provide a robust defence against carrot root fly infestations by targeting and killing the eggs and larvae of this pest. These beneficial nematodes disrupt the life cycle of the carrot root fly, preventing damage to carrot roots caused by larvae feeding.

Best Time to Apply Carrot Root Fly Nematodes

For optimal protection, apply carrot root fly nematodes during the carrot root fly’s active periods: from April to June and August to October. Ensure the soil temperature is at least 10°C for effective nematode activity and pest control.

How to Store and Apply Carrot Root Fly Nematodes

Storage: Immediately store the nematodes in the refrigerator or at temperatures below 5°C upon delivery. Use them before the expiry date indicated on the package to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Application: Water the nematodes into the soil within 30 minutes of application to wash them off the leaves and into the soil where they can act against the pests. Maintain moist soil conditions for optimal results and effective pest control.
