GRAZERS G4 LILY BEETLE 750ML RTU

Product Information

Ready to use spray. No dilution necessary. Treats approx. 30sq m. Grazers is NOT a pesticide and is therefore safe to pets, wildlife, and the environment. Lilies and fritillaries can tolerate some damage from this insect. However in some cases plants can be stripped of all foliage which can affect the health of the bulb. The adult beetles overwinter away from host plants and so there is no suitable treatment outside of the growing season. Once you have removed all sight of the beetles, then you can start spraying ensuring to spray under the leaves as well. The spray makes the foliage taste bitter so the lily beetles won't like the taste. I would advise spraying your lilies once a week and spray again if it rains. Hope this helps.

When applied to leaves and stems, the calcium is also absorbed into plant cells resulting in a “plant mediated effect” of making the plant unappealing to pests. The newest leaf or two formed after Grazers application is expected to be assisted by the translocated calcium. If planting in pots, plant 3 bulbs in a 10-14" 'patio type' pot using good-quality, multi-purpose compost. The lily beetle (Lilioceris Lilii) is the number one pest of lilies.

Lily beetle control

A customer once mentioned to me that they planted their lilies alongside a garlic bulb and that seemed to help deter the lily beetle for them. Perhaps that may be worth a try also.

The pesticides listed are legally available in the UK. This information is provided to avoid misuse of legal products and the use of unauthorised and untested products, which potentially has more serious consequences for the environment and wildlife than when products are used legally. Spray directly on to the foliage every 7-10 days upon first sighting (from March onwards depending on region and climate). Plants will continue to thrive while eggs are less likely to be laid, therefore larvae aren’t a problem either. To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your lilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Sprayor you can make up your own with the Concentrate. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your lilies.Adult beetles emerge from the soil from late March to May, laying eggs from April until September. They overwinter in sheltered places, often in the soil but not always near lilies. Earlier this week I noticed 3/4 lines of plants which had been badly eaten as they started to sprout. (No or very little leaves left) I used the last of my spray to cover them.
