Use the Pest Chart below to locate your pest and find the recommended nematode variety or varieties listed. If there is more than one species recommended, it is best to use a combo pack including all listed species.
If you don't know which pests you have or have a variety of pests, use the General Application by Crop Chart to select the species most suitable to the crops being grown. These recommendations are based on the most common pest affecting each crop type. For best results, make every effort to correctly identify the pests being controlled.
Refer to Beneficial Nematode FAQs for detailed information about application, storage and best practices with beneficial nematodes.
