GRAZERS G4 LILY BEETLE 750ML RTU

Product Information

Roselily Bulbs should be planted as soon as possible. Ideally in the Spring but can be planted up until the Autumn. 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.

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. I have given up now, for this season anyway. Do you have any advice? I definitely need your advice because it would be a shame if these plants ‘disappeared’ from my garden. It is ideal to use in gardens, allotments, and areas where children and pets are playing. Grazers has appeal for both the garden lovers who do not want their plants destroyed, and the environmentalists who detest chemical damage to the environment.

Ready to Use – helping Lilies and Fritillaries to help themselves, whilst safe to wildlife

By the end of this week most are now in 3-4 leaves and growing strong. But my radishes which are next door to these plants which I did not spray have been eaten alive now! Please can I get some more?” Protect your plants by spraying with Grazers Lily Beetle Spray. Simply spray onto the foliage of the lilies and fritillaries in the spring as new growth emerges and continue to spray throughout the growing season. The spray is taken up by the plant making the foliage unpalatable to the lily beetles, so the beetles and the larvae won’t feed. Supplied as a 750ml Ready to Use Spray or as a 350ml Concentrate (makes 7 litres of spray) for use in your own sprayer or to refill the RTU Spray.

Red lily beetle overwinters as adult beetles in soil,leaf litter and other sheltered places. This could be anywhere, not necessarily in the vicinity of lilies and fritillaries. They can also fly and find new hosts in the spring. They find lilies and fritillaries at least in part by volatile chemicals given off by the leaves, the adult beetles will also produce aggregation pheromones drawing more beetles to suitable host plants. Consequently, there is no advantage in attempting to treat the soil below lily plants.The beetles begin emerging on sunny days in late March and April when they seek out the foliage of host plants. Easy to use, spray on formula • Safe to use on edible and ornamental plants • Harmless to people, pets and the planet • Strengthens and stimulates growth • Absorbed into the foliage for longer lasting control • Easy ready to use spray, no dilution necessaryIt's not only lilies that they have an appetite for - they also go for fritillaries ( Fritillaria species) and Cardiocrinum - the tree lily. Control Be aware that products such as Neem oil are not registered for use in the UK and we cannot advise on their use.

To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your lilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Spray. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your lilies.J. Coulson These bulbs where amazing such a delight, I planted all 10 bulbs in one large container. Should I leave them in or take them out and let them dry out, protect from frost and replant next year. The Lily Beetle is about 8 – 10 mm long and are easy to spot as they are bright red. The adults spend the winter in sheltered places in the garden (not necessarily near lilies) before emerging in late March – May to feed on the lilies. They lay their eggs underneath the leaves throughout the summer and these eggs take about a week to hatch into beetle larvae, which then feed on lily foliage leaving holes in the flowers and leaves. The larvae are 6-8mm long, but they can be hard to spot as they will disguise themselves as bird droppings by covering themselves in excrement. They pupate in the ground and then 2 -3 weeks later they emerge as adult lily beetles. The bright red adult lily beetles feed on the flowers, leaves and stems of the lily before laying more eggs. Grazers is an effective and easy solution to prevent damage caused Red Lily Beetle on Lilies, Fritillaries and other members of the Liliaceae family. Both the adult lily beetles (or red or scarlet lily beetle to give it its full name) and the horrible grubs devour lilies - leaves, flowers and flower buds. Description Handheld application, effective against slugs and snails Ready to Use – helping plants to help themselves against slugs & snails, whilst safe to wildlife

Grazers Red Lily Beetle coats the leaf and while being effective against damage also benefits the plant due to its unique formula. 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. All four products in the Grazers range are in liquid form and based around the plant nutrient calcium (the CaCl form), combined with a natural adjuvant of a plant extract to improve its plant interaction. The content of individual Grazers products differ in the amounts of these co-formulants, each depending on the circumstance, so orientated towards the pests’ grazing method and the plant type.

Mode of Action

Grazers products are liquids, sold in either a ready-to-use (RTU) sprayable formulation or in concentrated form that requires dilution. This specific mix of calcium and adjuvant only works to keep away grazing pests when it is applied to the photosynthesising leaves, stems or flowers of any plant, thereby interacting with the plant’s own metabolic processes. Congratulations on your gold medal, which was well deserved. I watched your presentation on the BBC and absolutely loved your gorgeous lilies. Unfortunately my beautiful lilies have been decimated by the wretched lily bettle. I was even thinking about getting rid of all my bulbs after experiencing this problem for the last 3 years.
