Greetings from flatland Champaign, IL U.S.A. . . .



Nemacur 3 is a restricted use pesticide with this lead statement on
label: "Due to High Acute Toxicity and Toxicity to Wildlife.  For Sale
to and Use Only by a Certified Applicator for Uses Authorized by His
Certification, of By Persons Under His Direct Supervision."



As with all pesticides, follow label directions.  Do not transfer to
secondary container.  #1 means of pesticide poisoning is when children
drink from an unmarked container.



Label states "Emulsifiable Systemic Insecticide-Namatacide.  Hosta are
not specifically listed on label.  Labels states "For effective control
of nematodes in certain field, fruit and vegetable crops.



Bob, how do you apply? At what rate?  Are you using Nemacur 3 or some
other formulation?



Thank you,

Hi Gene
   Most people miss it because it just looks like normal leaf aging and
damage toward fall and maybe the plant withers away and people think
something else killed it. Also I seldom buy new plants anymore except tc
plants.
   The plants I found with it at my place I could actually tell whose
gardens have nematodes just by following the plant's history. Someone
gave me a medicine bottle with namacur in it and I put a little around
each and never saw any sign of it since. That is why I got my own supply
of nemacur, not that I need it but if I do I want to be able to stop it
before it spreads if I find it. If I couldn't get nemacur in years to
come I might regret it so I got it as insurance.
   I have heard some say nematodes don't hurt but I got a paradise
power that showed up really infected by fall and was almost killing it,
this was the first year I had it. I treated it and after 2-3 years or so
have never seen any sign of it since. Same with a  Dianne hosta I bought
at a convention, you can see a photo in the library. I brought it home
and that fall it was going downhill and once I treated it I have never
seen any sign since. I think I have found a total of 4 or 5 plants in
the last few years and it only takes a very little bit of namacur around
a plant to kill the namatodes. It also helps I quit buying divisions and
mostly have my own streaked plants and just do hybridizing.

Hummmm.....
   Well, Bob I will have to watch this fall and see what develops. I
now
some of my hosta gets a bit ragged and crisped if I do not keep them
watered, but I do not remember this particular pattern of disease
showing up
on my hosta leaves in my garden. Perhaps they do and I do not remember
or
recognize .. but sure does not look like anything I have seen in my
garden.
And I do have a few hosta... purchased for all up and down the east
coast.
   Will be verrrry interesting........

Hi Nancy
Here are some photos of it. The nematodes show up about the end of
August or later. I have people tell me they don't have nematodes but I
have yet to visit a garden late in the year and if the person has hostas
collected from many sources they have nematodes.
