Kitchen Gardeners will be pleased to learn that the dreaded cabbage white caterpillar and codling moths that attack fruit trees can be controlled by a new biological control containing nematodes. Commercial growers have been successfully using the nematode Steinernema Carpocapse for some years but now it is available to everyone. The nematodes are applied directly to the cabbages and other brassicas as a wash. Three applications are used as soon as you see the pest to kill caterpillars that will hatch over a period of time. Company spokesperson and allotment holder, Sue Hinton said "I was amazed with results when I used it. After the first application most of the caterpillars disappeared but you need to use a further two applications five days or a week after each other to ensure all hatchings are killed. The solution needs to be applied to all leaf surfaces and you need to make sure that you spray the pest. Pests not directly sprayed will not be controlled so make sure that you hit them!" For codling moths, the nematodes are used to control the overwintering pupae on trees and in the ground from September. The nematodes are applied with a sprayer during the evenings or on dull days. Nemasys Codling Moth and Caterpillar Killer is a natural product and safe to use on food crops and is harmless to children, pets and wildlife." News, Kitchen Garden magazine, April 2008.
