Questions & Answers
Thuricide works by infecting a variety of caterpillars with a bacteria (or a group of bacteria). Reapplying less than 4 days after the caterpillars have died is a waste.br>br>This is my first year with Thuricide, and I discovered one large Tabacco Hook Worm on tomatoes. Thuricide was used, and no one, alive or dead, was ever seen again. I reapplied about 10 days later (during a break in the daily rain) and again about 14 days later. I've never seen so many caterpillars in my life. As a result, I have decided to stop applying. br>br>These are just my thoughts. There was no research done.
It kills caterpillars, some of which mature into beautiful beneficial butterflies, while others become crop pest moths. Only spray on plantsbr>You want to protect them and use caution when spraying.
All four of the current responses are complete nonsense. Caterpillars, worms, and the moth or butterfly eggs that produce caterpillars are all killed. Other insects are harmed by it, but humans are unaffected. It is permissible to spray this on edible plants. It's a bacteria, and it's no more dangerous to humans than acidophilus in yogurt. [organic aphid spray] is a good place to start. Organicide, a product that is safe for bees, ladybugs (which eat aphids), and butterflies, was discovered. The active ingredient in this product is SESAME OIL. Aphids, as well as a variety of other pests, molds, mildews, and other fungi, are all controlled by neem oil. Neem Oil, on the other hand, has a foul odor and taste. Spraying the florettes themselves is not a good idea.
Army worms are a term I'm unfamiliar with. They do, however, belong to the Lepidoptera family, which includes corn worms and tobacco worms. Thuricide is a pesticide that has been shown to be effective against this species.
Selected User Reviews For Southern Ag 13022 Thuricide BT, 16oz Caterpillar Control
br>br>I agree with an earlier reviewer who stated that the product's container is clearly designed to resemble a one gallon container. There is nothing in the product photos in the listing that could be used as a visual size reference. This is a deliberate, well-planned deception on the part of Southern Ag's marketing staff. You will be given 16 ounces (2 cups = 1 pint); That's a little less than a standard one-liter water bottle, and it'll fit in one hand just as easily; however, a little went a long way in my case.
My cabbage looper problem was quickly resolved, and greens are now a permanent fixture in my garden!.
I'm so glad I found this product; it takes care of them quickly, but you have to reapply it frequently, which I'm fine with. I started with Neeam oil and it didn't help at all; however, this product is fantastic, but you must use four spoons per gallon, not one, as the instructions suggest.
Cabbage worms decimated my cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts last year, and none of them survived. They had holes, skeletal leaves, and worm poop all over them. Only a few holey cabbages, about half of what I had planted, were able to be harvested. br>br>I experimented with caterpillar control this year. It does not harm beneficial insects such as bees or butterflies, but it does kill the worms that eat my cabbages. I sprayed with a one-gallon sprayer as soon as I noticed those pesky white butterflies flitting around and saw holes in my cabbage leaves. My cabbage plants have only suffered minor damage so far. All you have to do now is remember to spray every 7 days or after rain. Coat the tops and bottoms of each leaf so that worms have nowhere to hide! br>br>If you follow the mixing instructions, this bottle will last you all season.
Our corn was infested with army worms. I mixed up the BT and placed it in an empty dish soap bottle so I could squirt some into the tops of each corn stalk. We checked the corn two days later and found that the worms had died. Our corn is now as tall as an elephant's eye, and once the silks appear, we'll use the same method to apply BT to the individual ears of corn to keep the ear worm caterpillars at bay. I especially like that it won't harm bees or other beneficial insects, and that it can be used right up until harvest time.
When I returned home from vacation, I noticed my bougainvillea was in bad shape. After noticing small green caterpillars on the wall next to it a few days later, I decided to buy this product based on the reviews. It was simple to mix and apply, and it worked right away. My bougainvillea appeared to be healthier and thickening up after about a week, and the produce has new flowers. This is an excellent item.
On evergreens, I killed bag worms! We were sprayed a couple of times because our cedar hedges were overrun. It must be done at a specific point in the worm cycle, but it worked and killed all of them- I strongly advise.
It's a simple ratio to follow, and I make a gallon at a time to keep my spray bottle topped off. I sprayed the thuricide spray on a variety of plants in my garden at various intervals. The plants that I sprayed the most frequently, every two weeks, were the ones that I prioritized. To be healthy, wait 3 days and then rain. I've discovered very small caterpillars, but there hasn't been much damage and none of them have grown to be very large. br>br>The plants that I didn't spray on a regular basis had varying degrees of success, but they were plagued by beetle bores in the viens and fruits. Those vile larvae punctured the fruits of two gourd plants that had been left completely forgotten. br>br>Be on the lookout for pests and keep an eye on your plants. Spray for the entire season! To avoid burning the leaves, only spray after the sun has gone down.
