Start your slug control early and apply at least a week before planting to ensure your garden is safe from slugs.Organise slug nematode deliveriesevery six weeks to ensure the slugs are kept at bay. Toxocariasis– Illness of humans caused by larvae of the dog or the cat roundworm: A helminth infection of humans caused by the dog or cat roundworm, Toxocara canis or Toxocara catiThe nematodes, when applied, will enter the slugs via a natural opening, like the mouth, and feed on the contents of the slug. A natural bacterium is produced by the nematodes inside the slug, which kills it. Infected slugs will be completely broken down by the nematodes. The nematodes also reproduce inside the larvae, releasing more nematodes into the surrounding area. When Should I Apply The Nematodes? Adults: A trap containing nematodes ( S. carpocapsae), isavailable for adult vine weevil. The traps should be placed on the ground below plants damaged by the weevils during the summer. The adults enter the trap during the day and are infected by the nematodes.

If you apply Nemaslug in the early autumn you will reduce the number of slugs laying eggs and consequently reduce the new population emerging in the spring. They arrive in a sachet suspended in a paste. It is best to use them straight away, however, you can store them in the fridge for up to a few weeks (do not freeze).

Kloosterman, Stephen (April 2022). "Small Soldiers". Green House Product News. Vol.32, no.4. pp.26–29. Most UK slug species are herbivorous, eating leaves, flowers, fruits, mushrooms, lichens and decaying plant material. Some, such as the Leopard slug, are carnivorous and hunt other slugs and snails.

It is important to choose the correct nematode for the right type of pest. And to use them in the right conditions. Coghlan, A. (7 September 2005). "Nematode genome evolution" (PDF).

The nematode model species C. elegans, C. briggsae, and Pristionchus pacificus, among other species, exhibit androdioecy, [57] which is otherwise very rare among animals. The single genus Meloidogyne (root-knot nematodes) exhibits a range of reproductive modes, including sexual reproduction, facultative sexuality (in which most, but not all, generations reproduce asexually), and both meiotic and mitotic parthenogenesis. This selectiveness allows for effective slug control without damaging other crucial species within the environment. Reduced Chemical Usage In 2019, a study identified one conserved signature indel (CSI) found exclusively in members of the phylum Nematoda through comparative genetic analyses. [42] The CSI consists of a single amino acid insertion within a conserved region of a Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory factor protein NRFL-1 and is a molecular marker that distinguishes the phylum from other species.

Why does the nematode biological control ( Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita) work for some gardeners but not all? Working with collaborators at Liverpool John Moores University we are testing survival of P. hermaphrodita in different soil types and under different conditions. Pramer C (1964).
