Subject: RE: Anyone using nematodes for rootworm control



Originally Nematoads were developed to control alfalfa snout beetles. During the testing phase, Sheilds was watching populations of Nematoads during crop rotation. During the corn crop seasons, they found the nematoads populations increasing. So the development of nematodes for alfalfa gave us a side benefit of having a predator for rootworm lavre.
Here, I have applied Nematoads to most of my ground that grows corn and alfalfa.
I am still apply to fields that grow corn and mostly grass.
I treat approx 200 acres a year. Once treated, the nematodes should be self sustaining.
