Product Detail

Downcast Worm Treatment offers a modern, non-pesticidal solution for managing worm casts on fine turf and grass surfaces. Unlike older products that relied on chemicals harmful to the environment, this plant-nutrient-based liquid works by improving turf condition and encouraging worms to remain active below the surface rather than at the top of the sward.

By supporting healthier soil conditions in the root zone, it promotes deeper worm activity, which helps minimise casting on the turf surface. The formulation contains small amounts of nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), and iron (Fe) to aid plant performance without forcing excessive growth.

Turf responds quickly with improved colour and vigour, while avoiding sudden growth flushes when applied at the recommended rates. Users can expect a significant reduction in visible worm casts, along with low risk of leaf scorch.

Downcast Worm Treatment is simple to apply using standard spraying equipment and includes a spray marker dye for accurate coverage. It also enhances chlorophyll production, improves plant stress tolerance, and is suitable for any grass area affected by surface casting.

This product acts as a soil conditioner rather than a fertiliser and should be used alongside a normal nutrient management programme for best results.

* Always follow the Usage guide and Aftercare advice

Available in 1L & 10L containers

  • Initial application coverage: 5,000m²
  • Follow up application coverage: 10,000m²

First application of the season (September - March)

  • 2ml/m² in 25-40ml of water
  • 20 litres/ha in 250-400 litres of water

Continue to apply fortnightly until the worm casts have gone:

  • 1ml/m² in 25-40ml of water
  • 10 litres/ha in 250-400 litres of water

Allow 2-3 days after application for a noticeable reduction in surface casting. In very wet conditions, shorten the interval between applications. Avoid applying just before rainfall, and reapply if heavy rain occurs. Always read and follow the label directions before use.
