NEMAGREEN

nema-green® contains nematodes of the species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora for biological control of white grubs and other lawn pests.

Grubs are the larvae of the leaf horn beetle. The best-known pests of this family in our country are the cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha), the June beetle (Amphimallon solstitiale), the garden leaf beetle (Phyllopertha horticola) and the tumble weevil (Hoplia philanthus).

Mode of action of nema-green®

With nema-green®, white grubs on lawns can be controlled biologically, effectively and sustainably – without danger to people, pets and plants. All products contain beneficial nematodes that penetrate the living grubs and secrete their biological bacterium, causing the pest to die after two to three days. The nematodes reproduce in the dead hosts, leaving them after about two weeks and seeking new, living hosts. This process continues until the number of pests is greatly reduced.
