PHEROMONES AND NEMATODES
Nematodes kill insects. They are living, insect-parasitic organisms. With a microscope, you can see that nematodes are actually roundworms. Insect-parasitic nematodes that are used in the garden are species-specific, so using the wrong type of nematodes to fight a specific pest will result in disappointment.
Pheromones lure harmful insects into a trap.
Plants and insects attract each other through scent created by pheromones. Pheromones are molecules used by members of the same species to communicate through scent. Humans use certain pheromones to protect plants from specific insects. This also allows a reduction in conventional insecticides.
Pheromones have to be refrigerated before use. Once the pheromone trap has been set up, they become active.
