Nemasys L

Nemasys L to control Taxus weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) and other weevil species such as Otiorhynchus armadillo and Otiorchynchus sallicicola.

Steinernema kraussei

Nemasys L is a biological product and contains the insect parasitic nematode Steinernema kraussei. Once administered, the nematodes actively search for and penetrate the prey, then secrete bacteria that kill the prey. Nemasys L is completely safe for humans, the environment, the crop and beneficial insects. The nematodes are already active at a soil temperature of 5°C, making them usable early in the season. Application of S. kraussei is especially well suited in perennials, cut flowers and small fruits. 

Nemasys L Chracteristics:

• Controls the taxus weevil and other weevil species.
• Safe for humans, environment, crop and beneficial insects.
• Kills prey by secreting bacteria.
• Apply in damp conditions.

• Remove all filters smaller than 0.3 mm (300 microns).
• Pump pressure should not exceed 20 bar/2000 kPa.
• During the application, stir the spray liquid continuously to prevent settling of the nematodes.
• Use a nozzle of 0.5 mm (500 microns) or larger.
• The spray liquid cannot be stored.
