NEMATODES AGAINST CODDLING MITE OF APPLE, PEAR AND WALNUT

The codling moth is a butterfly whose larva penetrates the fruit where it develops, causing damage (galleries, rot). Nematodes are microscopic worms that live in the soil and will help you treat your fruit trees: apple trees, pear trees, walnut trees against the codling moth. They move in the soil in search of insect larvae that they penetrate and parasitize by multiplying inside, thus causing their death. Once their target is eliminated, the many nematodes that have developed go in search of other prey and continue to clean your garden relentlessly! Nematodes exist naturally in the soil but rarely in a sufficient way to combat pests. By increasing their density in the soil, you ensure effective protection for your plants. Nematodes do not present any inconvenience for humans or domestic animals.

Directly treat the tree to be protected and the ground around it early in the morning or in the evening, preferably in humid weather, as well as all possible shelters nearby (fence, low wall, etc.).
