Nemasys L contains the parasitic nematode of Steinernema kraussei and is used for controlling black vine weevil in the larval stage. The Steinernema will seek out the vine weevil and penetrate them and infect them with bacteria which stops them from feeding. The vine weevil will then quickly die and the Steinernema will continue to breed and seek out more vine weevils. This product is completely safe for people, environment, crops and beneficial insects. Steinernema can be used between March and October or when the soil temperature is above 5oc.
