Thanks Dave Hi Dave you should try growing Kestrel seed potatoes as they are slug resistant. Nematodes could cause you more problems with your potatoes. Regards Iain I think he's referring to beneficial nematodes. They are good. :-) -- Peace! Om "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

You're probably talking about potato cyst nematode or some such. Com-d is asking about predatory nematodes. |

Thanks Dave Hi Dave you should try growing Kestrel seed potatoes as they are slug resistant. Nematodes could cause you more problems with your potatoes. Regards Iain Had good success with them up to this year. But the wet summer overcame the advantages and the slug population increased dramatically despite the nematodes. What would have happened if I had not used them is anyone's guess. Maybe I should have applied another lot later in the season. Something I've noticed though, is that not all damage to potatoes is caused by slugs. This year I found manure worms were a culprit and quite a few worms had buried themselves into the potatoes. The problem occurred mostly around the tubers that were affected with blight. I seems manure worms love blight. PDM. |
