Cutworm Nematodes (Nematode Steinernema) are microscopic worms which seek out cutworms (caterpillars) then feed and multiply inside to stop them feeding on your plants. Cut worms are nocturnal and can feast on a range of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Nematodes are naturally found in the soil, by using this product you are simply topping it up.
Cutworms are caterpillars of a diverse genus of moth and are nocturnal, emerging from the soil at night to target stems and cutting down the plant. Cutworms vary in colour, appearing as brown, yellow, or green soft-bodied caterpillars, typically around 2.5cm in length with distinct stripes along their bodies. They often curl up into a C-shape when poked. First signs of their presence include: droppings and plants that have been cut off at the base.
Nematodes products contain Nematodes (microscopic worms) which are renowned biological control products, providing many benefits over traditional gardening chemicals and are a key ally for organic gardeners.
