May beetle

larval stages of these beetles are harmful to crops, since they feed on plant roots, resulting in visible water stress and ultimately ending in the death of [...] not visible in the aerial parts of the plant, as the larvae only feed on root hairs and organic material during the first and second instars. When they [...] they move to the next stage, the larvae start to feed on larger plant roots, which later leads to signs of wilting and stunted growth. Lifecycle and appearance

Sciarid flies

They, however, can also feed on root hairs, [...] rootlets, and tender root, stem and leaf tissue. Later instars may even feed on plant stems. The injuries caused by feeding also provide invasion routes [...] yellowish white in colour. They are laid on the ground surface close to plant roots. The larvae can grow to 5 to 12 mm in length and 0.5 to 1.5 mm in diameter

Plant Pests

microscopic worms that can infest plant roots, affecting the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients. Root-knot nematodes are a common example.

Black vine weevil

symptoms The major damage is caused by the feeding of the larvae on the roots. After the roots have been destroyed the larvae move into corms, rhizomes and stem [...] and a reddish brown head. These larvae live in the root zone in the soil where they feed on the roots. They are legless, roughly 1 mm long at hatching,

Plant Health

As plants photosynthesize efficiently, they transfer sugars to the root system, stimulating the soil food web. This interaction releases essential [...] Marine algae, rich in phytohormones, aid in stress adaptation and promote root and shoot growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis efficiency. Humic and

Corn rootworm

larvae feed on the rootlets and dig tunnels in the larger roots. This leads to a reduction of the root system, making the plant more susceptible to lodging [...] The whitish-coloured larvae move around in the soil, feeding on the maize roots. Their development lasts approximately one month, during which they pass

But the variety has a slightly weaker root base than other varieties. ‘This is another reason why I’ll continue to use

Crane flies

larvae of crane flies , called leatherjackets, live in the soil and feed on roots and shoots (which they pull into the ground of mainly grasses and cereal [...] mate and lay 200-300 eggs.

Early symptoms include thinning, yellowing, and wilting, culminating in [...] more disruption to the sward than the grubs themselves.
