Sycamore Tiger Treatment - 25 Million Nematodes (SF)

Treatment with Steinernema Feltiae nematodes to control the plane tree tiger

The corythucha ciliata , also called the plane tree tiger, is a pest of the plane tree native to Asia. The adults feed on the foliage of plane trees by sucking the sap, leaving brown marks and discolorations on the leaves. Damage can weaken the tree and reduce its ability to produce chlorophyll, which can lead to premature leaf drop and reduced growth.

Steinernema Feltia nematodes, an effective natural product on the plane tree tiger

Nematodes are microscopic worms   entomopathogenic (or auxiliary).

This nematode kills insects at the larval stage
Once applied to the plane tree, this nematode comes into contact with the pest (the larvae) and penetrates it by its natural means.

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 kills the larvae. Under optimal conditions, the infested insect stops feeding very quickly and dies within 48 to 72 hours.
