Agave Treatment - 100 Million Nematodes (SC)

Treatment with carpocasae nematodes to combat the Agave Weevil

The agave weevil is a common pest that attacks agaves, causing significant and often irreparable damage. Fortunately, there are effective methods to control these pests, including treatment with carpocasae nematodes.

A natural product effective on agave weevil larvae

SoluNéma Agave contains parasitic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae.

Nematodes are microscopic worms   entomopathogenic (or auxiliary).

This nematode kills insects in the larval stage
Once applied to the plant, this nematode comes into contact with the pest (the larvae) and penetrates through its natural channels.

As soon as the nematodes have entered the larva, the bacteria which live in symbiosis with the nematodes are released. These bacteria produce a toxin that causes the larvae to die. Under optimal conditions, the infested insect stops feeding very quickly and dies within 48 to 72 hours.

A harmless organic product

These microscopic worms are non-toxic for applicators, local residents and animals.
With no re-entry delay (DRE), this organic treatment is ideal for application in nurseries and urban areas.

Packaging: 100 Million - To treat 20 to 40 agaves

Application period

1 to 2 applications from March to June and 1 to 2 applications from September to November.
