caterpillar nematodes
« on: August 19, 2023, 18:58 »
Evening all
Hope everyone has experienced some.... sunshine today.
OK my sprouts are infested and I dont use that word lightly with caterpillars.
Has anyone used nematodes in this situation.There are far too many to just pick off and I fear my PSB (although covered) may become affected!!

Thanks
Twood
Happy Gardening May your plot be abundant in veg and free from slugs ! :)

Good morning Twood,  I have given up on our brassicas, the only pleasure I have is thinking about all those caterpillars slowly going to sleep in the compost heap!

I tried Neem oil and Lux flakes but could not keep up with the plague.  Next year it will (may) be total isolation with the aid of curtain lace.

Cheers,  Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

Oh dear Tony
that sounds bit of a disaster !!
I'm trying not to give up just yet.  I did have them covered for a while but as the sprouts grew there wasn't enough coverage so I removed the netting. Big mistake. I think at least the limited coverage was doing something  :lol:
Better luck next year
