Wireworms are a type of soil insect that are pests on various root vegetables (potatoes and carrots being one of their favourites) feeding on the seedlings, roots, and base of stems. Wireworms are larvae of click beetles Agriotes spp. The female beetle lays eggs from late April to late July, often beneath the surface of lawns or soil covered with plant foliage. Wireworm larvae are long, thin, shiny, yellowish-brown creatures with dark heads, resembling mealworms and measuring approximately 10 to 15mm in length. Root crops may exhibit tunnelling.
Nematodes products contain Nematodes (microscopic worms) which are renowned biological control products, providing many benefits over traditional gardening chemicals and are a key ally for organic gardeners.
