Description: Entomopathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora
Best Used: on the larvae of:
- Weevil (Otiorhynchus spp.)
- European Chafer Grub (Amphimallon majale)

Works by: the 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 hors to days after infection.
Suggested Application Rate: 250,000-500,000/m2, depending on pest pressure and crop type.
