Specifications

Active Ingredients 86% Heterorhabditis bacteriophora – 14% inert biodegradable carrier.
Control Mode of action: The nematodes enter the pest and release symbiotic bacteria into the pest's body cavity. These bacteria convert the host tissue into a food source, on which nematodes feed, develop, and reproduce inside the host. This kills the pest within a few hours to days after infection. Visual effect: Infected pest insects in the root zone turn yellow to brown but may be difficult to find, due to rapid degradation. Infected foliar pests simply fall to the ground. Sportnem-H is mainly used for biological control of chafer grubs in lawns. Pests controlled: Beetles (Coleoptera): Weevils (Curculionidae): Black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) and other Otiorhynchus spp. White grubs (Scarabaeidae): European chafer (Amphimallon majale); Summer chafer/June beetle (Amphimallon solstitialis); Amphimallon aestivus; Common cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha); Common garden chafer (Phyllopertha horticola); Phyllophaga spp.; Welsh chafer (Hoplia philanthus) and other Hoplia spp.; Japanese beetle (Popilia japonica); Oriental beetle (Anomala orientalis); Asiatic garden beetle (Autoserica castanea); Dune chafer (Anomala dubia); Brown chafer (Serica brunnea).
