Nematodes are a miracle cure

Yew turned brown and had to buy new plants regularly. Now used nematodes and problem solved. Works great.

Nematodes

These are delivered in the evening and it is best to put them in a bucket of water right away. Stir them and spray them with a watering can, but make sure the soil stays moist for a long time. Otherwise the nematodes will die. With a yew hedge, the result is not immediately visible. It can take a year. But I am confident, the hedge is no longer affected.

Nematodes against Yew Beetle – Biological and Effective Control

The vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a common garden pest that can damage both mature plants and young crops. Adult beetles eat round holes in leaves, while the larvae eat the roots of plants. The larvae in particular can cause serious damage, leading to wilting and sometimes death of the plant. Effective control of the vine weevil is essential to ensure the health of your garden.

What are nematodes against yew beetles?

Nematodes (nematodes) are microscopic worms that are natural enemies of the larvae of the yew weevil. The species Heterorhabditis Downesi and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora are specifically used to combat yew weevil larvae. These nematodes penetrate the larvae through natural openings and secrete bacteria that fatally infect the larvae. The larvae die within a few days, which prevents them from causing further damage to your plants.

Benefits of nematodes against yew beetle

  • 100% Organic: Safe for the environment, pets and beneficial insects such as bees and earthworms.
  • Targeted action: Nematodes only infect the harmful yew beetle larvae and leave other organisms alone.
  • Fast results: Within a few days of application, the larvae are infected and killed.
  • Easy to use: The nematodes can be easily applied with water and a watering can or sprayer.

How do nematodes work against yew weevil?

The nematodes actively search for the larvae of the yew weevil in the soil. Once they penetrate a larva, they secrete bacteria that fatally infect the larva. Within a few days, the larvae die, reducing the population of yew weevils. The nematodes multiply in the dead larvae and then go in search of new prey, which ensures a long-lasting effect as long as there are larvae present.

When do you use nematodes against yew weevil?

The best time to use nematodes against yew weevil is in early spring (March-April) and in late summer or early autumn (August-September). During these periods the larvae are active and vulnerable. Nematodes are most effective at a soil temperature of at least 12°C, so it is important to keep a close eye on the temperatures before starting the treatment.

Application of nematodes against yew beetle

Mix the nematodes with water according to the instructions on the package and apply the mixture evenly to the infected soil around the plants. Make sure that the soil remains moist for two weeks after treatment, so that the nematodes can spread well and do their work. Avoid treatment in direct sunlight, as nematodes are sensitive to UV light. It is best to apply the nematodes in the evening or on a cloudy day.

Safe for humans, animals and the environment

Nematodes are a completely natural and organic pest control method that poses no danger to humans, pets or other beneficial insects. They only target the harmful larvae of the yew weevil, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
