General remarks concerning biological control in turf and lawn
More info
  • Before starting application of natural enemies, the lawn needs to be free of harmful pesticide residues.
  • Fertilizers and iron sulphate do not influence the nematodes' action, if applied in 'normal quantities'.
  • In case of doubt concerning the side effects of chemicals contact your Biobest technical representative.
  • Before spraying the nematodes with a (field) sprinkler, carefully follow the user's instructions (thoroughly rinse the tank in which the nematodes will be poured, etc.).
  • The garden chafer (Phyllopertha horticola) are effectively controlled by B-Green. The action against the cockchafer and the summer chafer is not effective enough. Please contact Biobest N.V. if you are not sure which type of beetle you are dealing with.
