Steinernema carpocapsae

Exhibitline Sc biological control agent contains the insect pathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae, as infective juveniles. It is used to control of Leatherjackets and Cutworms in turf.

Target Pests

Leather jackets
Cutworms

Key Features

Steinernema carpocapsae will actively seek out leather jackets and cutworms in the soil.
Simple and safe to use, carpocapsae occurs naturally in soils.
Apply through ground sprayers or irrigation
Apply anytime whenever ground temperatures are above 12°C

How It Works

Harmless to the ornamental crops, humans, the environment and other beneficial insects, these nematodes actively seek out vine weevil 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 12°C for nematodes to work most efficiently and the maximum soil temperature should be no more than 26°C.

Delivery System

50 million entomopathogenic Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes in an inert carrier in sealed trays
