Full season security against vine weevil

How can you protect your plants from Vine Weevil year-round?

ICL is at the forefront of professional horticulture, providing innovative solutions to ensure year-round plant protection. The shift from chemical to biological control is transforming the industry, and ICL supports growers with a comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan designed to tackle vine weevil infestations effectively.

ICL’s approach incorporates cutting-edge bio-control strategies, enabling growers to adapt to changing regulations while maintaining high-quality plant health.

What does ICL offer to help control Vine Weevil?

ICL provides a range of biological solutions to support sustainable, effective pest management:

• Vine Weevil Seeka – Beneficial nematodes that naturally target and control vine weevil larvae in soil and container-grown crops.
• Vine Weevil Seeka CT (Cold Tolerant) – A specially developed nematode solution effective at lower soil temperatures, ensuring protection in cooler seasons.
• Lalguard M52 GR – A biological insecticide containing Metarhizium brunneum strain Ma43, which can be used within growing media for the control of black Vine Weevil.
• Transporter – This penetrant formulation optimises water distribution in the growing media,  enhancing the movement and effectiveness of nematodes – improving pest control.
• Sp0tless Nursery – A highly effective cleaning agent compatible with nematodes that helps decontaminate spray equipment, reducing the risk of residue build-up and cross-contamination.

By incorporating these solutions into a strategic pest management plan, growers can effectively combat vine weevil while protecting plant health.
