Biological Control of Leatherjacket - 2 pack sizes
*PLEASE NOTE* - This product may be supplied as a either brand (pictured) however they are the same product. If you have any queries please contact our tech team.
Nemasys J is a non-chemical product that will naturally control leatherjackets in grass and turf. The presence of leather jackets is usually seen by rough scruffy turf being pulled up by birds & animals as they search for fresh grubs.
*Please note as this is a live product, we organise direct delivery from the manufacturer direct to our customer in "cool-pak" packaging. This does mean that deliveries of nematodes can take from 2-3 weeks to ensure that you receive the most fresh and viable nematodes*
Damaging leatherjacket larvae are laid as eggs in lawns during August by the Crane Fly. The withdrawal of synthetic chemical insecticides means Nemasys J is now the best method to naturally control leatherjackets by using the beneficial parasitic nematodes in Nemaysy J.
The Nemasys J nematodes enter the larvae and stops them feeding within three days of infection. The larvae then die within 10-14 days.
The nematodes complete their life-cycle within the larvae, then enter the soil seeking more hosts, and so the pest control continues naturally.
2 pack sizes are available to choose from:
50 million nematodes covering 100m2
250 million nematodes covering 500m2
