Palmanem to combat two important pests in palm trees
What this product does:
Palmanem is composed of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae. They penetrate the inside of the insect through natural openings, causing it to die from septicemia.
Ideal for containing infestations both in urban environments and in nurseries.
It leaves no residue on the palm tree, easy to use: powder to be dissolved in water to be then distributed with watering cans, motorized spraying systems or irrigation.

The palm chestnut (Paysandisia archon) and the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) are pests that, if not effectively controlled, affect palm trees, causing their death.
In many situations it is not possible to act with chemical products for the protection of palm trees (urban environment, private gardens, lack of license, date palms, etc.).
Palmanem KOPPERT is the effective biological solution, harmless to humans and the environment, containing microscopic worms that seek out and penetrate pests.
Application of Palmanem
Apply by one of the following means (do not exceed 12 bar (172 psi) pressure):
The spray nozzle opening should be at least 50 mesh. Wash equipment at least 3 times if previously used with pesticides.
Product storage: at a temperature between 2 and 6 C° in the dark (the expiry date is indicated on the package)
Apply the solution over the entire crown and the first meter of the trunk ensuring that the solution penetrates well into the palm tree.
Apply at temperature between 14 and 35 ° C (inner temperature of the palm tree). Nematodes are very sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. Avoid spraying with direct light. Apply only early in the morning or late at night.
For red weevil : Apply every 45 to 60 days when detected or if suspected presence. Change the frequency to 30 days in case of high pest pressure.
For the palm butterfly : apply Palmanem in autumn (October - November) and repeat after two weeks. Apply again in spring (April-May) and repeat after two weeks.
Apply Palmanem about ten days before or after the application of chemicals to combat the red palm weevil.
