Subject: RE: Economic threshold of European corn borer 1st gen


There is some evidence that nematodes will kill corn borers.

If you look at the page for the SC nematodes you will notice, they also attack black cutworms and corn earworm. So even if you try, and it doesn't work, they may actually still help you. You probably need bulk and a lower price then arbico has to make it worth trying. Or you could order a small amount and see if they attack the things. Once they are inside the larvae they multiply like 3 generations before emerging so that carcass drops to the ground and you get like millions more then you bought. :) They can be sprayed on.
