Nematodes against cockchafer larvae
The grubs of the cockchafer have a whitish, caterpillar-like body with three pairs of legs and a light brown head capsule. They can reach a length of 5-7 cm. This makes them considerably larger than the grubs of other beetle species such as the garden chafer, June chafer or diving beetle. The larvae of the cockchafer cause significant damage by feeding on plant roots. Beneficial nematodes are the natural enemies of cockchafer grubs and can be used for biological control. The nematodes search for the grubs in the soil, penetrate them and kill them.
Application of nema-green® cockchafer
The nematodes are supplied in a natural carrier material and mixed with water in accordance with the application instructions on the inside of the packaging. The nematode solution is then simply applied to the affected areas using a watering can or the nema-sprayer. Nematodes require moisture and are sensitive to UV radiation, which is why we recommend application in overcast and humid weather conditions. If the soil is dry, we recommend pre-watering to allow the nematodes to penetrate the soil as effectively as possible.

Frequently asked questions
What are nematodes?
Nematodes are small threadworms with a length of approx. 0.5 millimetres. Some nematode species are entomopathogenic, which means that they can parasitise and kill insects. Nematode genera with these properties include Steinernema and Heterohabditis, which we use in our products.
When can I control white grubs with nematodes?
Nematodes are an effective biological control agent for white grubs. In order to achieve the best possible effect, it is important to know what type of grub you are dealing with and to use the nematodes according to the respective life cycle.
