Larva BioControl
Biological broad-spectrum larvicide — Living biocontrol, Self-perpetuating.
Biological broad-spectrum larvicide from Vegalab Crop Science, powered by Steinernema carpocapsae (live infective juveniles, 50% w/w). Larva BioControl targets Soil-dwelling larvae — cutworm, webworm, fungus gnat, weevil, beetle grubs, and has been tested on Greenhouse crops, Strawberry, Ornamentals and Turf.
Mode of action
Live entomopathogenic nematodes infect larval pests through natural openings and release symbiotic bacteria that kill the host within 24-48 hours. The nematode population self-perpetuates on infected hosts, providing season-long control. Pollinator-safe.
