BASF to speak at crucial vine weevil summit
 
An emergency summit aiming to find an industry-led solution to the threat of vine weevil will take place on Tuesday 12th July.

The summit will look into the issues surrounding the vine weevil threat, and will go on to understand the various vine weevil controls available. BASF, the UK’s only producers of nematodes, will be an integral part of the discussion which will aim to produce concrete steps for the industry to take.

Rob Storer, Marketing and Value Chain Manager explained the importance of the summit, and the need for the industry as a whole to work together, “Biological pest control is possible at field scale, however it should be viewed as being part of a true IPM system” he said.

“Using biological products requires different thinking to conventional pesticides – a more holistic view needs to be considered and so wide IPM approaches developed”.

Also supporting the summit are the HTA, Bayer, ICL and Fargro.

Nematodes are tiny micro-organisms which occur naturally in the soil where they hunt down and attack pests, with each different nematode having their own specific prey species.

In addition to a Nemasys product formulated to deal with the vine weevils, there are also products designed to control slugs, leatherjackets, ants, and chafer grubs.

Vine weevils are the number one pest in ornamental crops.
