Exhibitline Sf 5 x 50 million in gel
Exhibitline Sf biological control agent contains the insect pathogenic nematode, Steinernema feltiae, as infective juveniles. It helps control fungus gnat larvae and Western Flower thrips, Onion thrips, and Echinothrips on ornamental plants. Provides up to 6 weeks protection from fungus gnat larvae. Best time of application in the evening just prior to sunset or on cloudy rainy day.
Harmless to the ornamental crops, humans, the environment and other beneficial insects, these nematodes actively seek out fungus gnat larvae by swimming in the thin film of water on soil particles. They locate hosts by detecting carbon dioxide and other waste products. After locating pest larvae, nematodes invade through natural body openings and inject bacteria into the insect. Bacteria develop within the insect and it dies of septicemia. Under optimum conditions, the insect can die within 12-24 hours. Insect mortality will depend on the environmental temperature. The minimum soil temperature should be 14°C / 57°F for nematodes to work most efficiently and the maximum soil temperature should be no more than 30°C / 85°F.
