Has anyone used nematodes for wireworm control? If so was it worth it?
I just converted from a lawn and have been given the heads up that wireworm can be a problem after doing that. I finished digging over about 10m2 more since that unpleasant piece of information was revealed to me. I turned over about half a dozen larvae within that area, that I noticed anyway. No potatoes will be going in to that plot but onion, swede, carrot, radish and beetroot will be.
A few more questions for you old hands:
Are the wireworm likely to be anything more than a small nuiscance at the levels I've found them at? I have no idea.
Will they bother the root crops mentioned above? I'm thinking yes, but not sure.
Basically what I am asking is do I need to worry and, if so, are nematodes a worthwhile treatment?
