Re: Stems are swelling irregularly and bursting open?

I picked around in the soil around the base of the plant and also found this insect skin (just the shed skin, no insect). I'm using jiffy starting mix +20% extra perlite, so I don't know if any insect skins should be in the medium naturally or not...

Re: Stems are swelling irregularly and bursting open?

You need a drench of some sorts. Something that is sytemic because a foliar spray that just sits on the outside will not get what's inside.

Are you talking about using an insecticide?

Re: Stems are swelling irregularly and bursting open?

For future reference... Does anybody think that watering with a BTi solution might kill the larva when they are moving through the soil to and/or from the plant?

Re: Stems are swelling irregularly and bursting open?

I've read that may work and also injecting BTi with a hypodermic at problem sites.
I've also read that once these types of problems occur it can be difficult to possibly even impossible to remedy.Good luck man.

Re: Stems are swelling irregularly and bursting open?

In the MMJ Growers Bible, one borer is listed (beetle borer). The control listed for them are as follows: Biological - Benaficial nematodes , Sprays - Bacillus popilliae, Rotenone can be injscted into the stem (where they settled after boring) as well. Hope this helps.
