Larvanem (OMRI)

Instruction for use

• Apply early morning or late evening to minimize the effect of heat and sunlight. Turn off artificial lights which may dry plant surfaces too quickly.
• The soil surface should be moist at the time of application.
• Apply with at least 4 litres / m2 water if applied direct to soil, for Chafer Grub 1,200 l/ha.
• For drench applications over foliage use lower volumes of water and irrigate within 30 minutes of treatment with at least 1 litre/ m2 to wash nematodes off the leaves and below the soil surface.
• For optimum results, keep the soil moist for 3-4 weeks after application.
• The entire spray solution should be applied once mixed. Do not store for longer than 4 hours.
• Remove all fine filters in the tubing and at the nozzles. Use nozzles with at least 0.8 mm diameter.
• Keep nematode solution agitated continuously; alternatively add carboxy-methyl cellulose (wallpaper paste) at 0.4% w/v to prevent nematodes settling, mixture should still be used within 4 hours.
• Do not exceed a pump pressure of 20 bar/ 300psi, for Dosatron 6 bar/ 100psi.

Compatibility

• Avoid mixing with pesticides and adjuvants (wetting agents) unless compatibility checked.
• Ask your supplier; otherwise avoid application 1 week before and 2 weeks after application of pesticides.
