Stock Up On Pest Control For Warmer Winter Months

January 9, 2019/in Parks and Gardens, Press Release/by Sarah Bryan

Stock Up On Pest Control For Warmer Winter Months: It is becoming clear that the planet is becoming warmer and warmer each year, and particularly in 2018 gardens have experienced the full force of Mother Nature. From the Beast from the East in March bringing endless amounts of snow to the scorching hot summer in July, the growth of grass, plants and trees may have taken a hit. But as we coast into winter, we have been experiencing increasingly mild temperatures for this time of year – with a number of pests staying put in the garden instead of hibernating away as they would usually.

Because of this warmer winter weather, it is creating the perfect breeding ground for slugs to still attack and wreak havoc in your garden, even in the winter. This is why it is important to stock up and take control with pest solutions now in preparation for the uncertain weather temperatures ahead.

The slug killer, Nemaslug by BASF, offers a biological solution to pest control and can protect your vegetables, fruit, flowers, shrubs and trees from a variety of pests – even in December. To use, all you do is mix the product with water and apply from a watering can with a coarse rose over the soil area. The temperature of the soil you are treating should be nothing lower than 5 degrees Celsius, which for December this would usually pose an issue, but for the climatic weather, it is not been a problem this year. Also, there is no need to keep children or pets away from treated areas and the whole programme is entirely biological.

Individual slugs are capable of breeding throughout the year but do so typically in times of favourable conditions, warm and wet weather, and it would seem even in December and January. If you were to leave the slugs be until the spring season, which is when pest control typically begins, you would find foliar damage which would be severe enough to cause significant plant loss on a vast number of susceptible crops very early in the season.

Nemaslug orders can be placed online, with an entire season’s worth being sent out as and when needed. This means that you can tackle the slugs in the garden now but also be prepared for the spring and summer months ahead – allowing you to concentrate on planting and growing in your garden, safe in the knowledge that your pest control is taken care of.

Barenbrug At BTME 2019

Barenbrug At BTME 2019: Barenbrug, the UK’s biggest and most innovative grass seed producer, will be showcasing its range of industry-leading products and cultivars at BTME 2019. Barenbrug’s new stand will be located in the Green Hall; Stand 330.

The Barenbrug Sport range will feature #1 varieties Barolympic perennial ryegrass, Barlineus Chewings fescue and Charles browntop bentgrass in popular products such as ULTRAFINE, MEDAL, FESCUE and ALL BENT.

Two brand new cultivars make their debut in the Sport Range. Barrisse strong creeping red fescue is introduced into FAIRWAY and Baromario is a component of a new ground-breaking perennial ryegrass blend MULTI SPORT.

MULTI SPORT is a four-way mix of 100% UK seed production, supporting British farmers and offering a more sustainable product choice for the UK turf industry. Baromario (and the other cultivars in MULTI SPORT) are highly-ranked in BSPB/STRI Turfgrass Seed as both winter sports and lawn ryegrasses, allowing this blend to be adopted in areas with high traffic and variable heights of cut.

Visitors to the stand will also get the chance to learn about Yellow Jacket Water Manager, a game-changing seed enhancement product that improves germination and seedling survival in tough environments. The patented surfactant technology is the result of extensive research by Barenbrug and Aquatrols and has been independently tested by the STRI.

In addition to Sport, the Essential Range of landscape products has been improved following a hugely successful market introduction in 2018. Products within the range have been enhanced further by Barenbrug-bred innovations such as RPR and Mowsaver technology.
