Capsanem

Steinernema carpocapsae – Entomopathogenic nematodes

How It Works: Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes will enter the pest larvae and release symbiotic bacteria into the body cavity. This bacteria converts the larval tissue into a food source, on which the nematodes feed, develop and reproduce. The host pest dies within a few hours to days after infection. 

Target Pests:

• Shore Fly larvae 
• Caterpillars from the Lepidoptera order.
  • Examples: Box Tree Moth, Tomato Leaf Miner, Diamond Back Moth, Armyworms, Cotton Bollworm, Corn Earworm, Tomato Looper, Cutworms, Silvery Moth, European Pepper Moth, Cabbage Looper, and Cranberry Girdler.
• Crane Flies (the families of Noctuidae, Pyralidae, and Tipulidae)
• The Great Pine Weevil (Hylobius abietis and Capnodis tenebrionis)
• Larvae of Beetles in the Coleoptera order
• Larvae of Crickets in the Orthoptera order

Best Use: Apply when larvae of the target pests are present in your growing space.

Shelf Life: Up to 6 weeks from the week of delivery.
