Damage caused by black vine weevil and its larvae.

The black vine weevil is one of the most important pests in gardens and roof gardens. Its larvae feed especially on the roots of plants, which can cause wilting and eventual death. The adult beetles feed primarily on the leaf edges of the affected plants, resulting in the typical and unsightly "bay feeding".

NEMATOP® IN USE

Control black vine weevil with nematodes

The nematode species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Heterorhabditis downesi are specialized on black vine weevil larvae, among others, and can use them for their own feeding and reproduction. The nematodes are supplied alive in a powder. For application, they should be mixed with water exactly according to package directions and applied to the affected areas.

How do nematodes work?

Nematodes are threadworms about 0.5 mm long, of which there are over 20,000 different species worldwide. The species Heterohabditis bacteriophora specializes in controlling the larvae of black vine weevil and is particularly effective. The nematodes penetrate the pests, where they secrete a bacterium with which they live in symbiosis. The bacterium kills the pest and the nematodes multiply inside it until it is consumed. The nematodes then move on to infest the next pest. This process repeats until all pests are controlled. This results in a lasting, biological pest control.
