Specifications

Active Ingredients 1 x pack of 250 million- Steinernema feltiae
Tech Comments Environmental conditions: Steinernema feltiae is active between 10-31°C/50-88°F but performs best at temperatures between 14-26°C/57-79°F Soil or air temperature below 5°C/41°F and above 35°C/95°F can be lethal Nematodes are susceptible to ultraviolet light (UV): do not use them in direct sunlight Timing: Timing and frequency depend on the pest species and the crop environment (relative humidity, soil moisture and temperature). Consult a Fargro technical advisor for advice on the best strategy for your situation. The moisture content of the soil must be kept high for several days after application. When possible, irrigate the crop before and right after application. For foliar application, spray Steinernema feltiae when relative humidity will exceed 75% for several hours after the treatment Adding an adjuvant and/or an anti-desiccant/humectant can be beneficial. Ask your Fargro representative for more information. Spray in the evening (or morning in some cases) allowing nematodes to work for several hours within the optimal range of temperature and humidity, as described above.
