Introduction Rates
The choice of DACSURE (si), DIGSURE (i) or a combination of both will be determined by several factors including crop, level of mines, time of year and in an ongoing programme, the level of parasitism. Please seek advice from BCP. Conditions
Dacnusa are usually introduced during winter and spring months onto low levels of mines. Control can break down in hot sunny conditions during summer. Diglyphus can be introduced at any time of year with the timing of introduction being determined by the level of mines. If there are sufficient mines Diglyphus will establish during the winter. Storage
