|
|
All of my citrus including lemon, Mexican Lime, Rio Red Grapefruit, Navel Orange and home grown orange have similar problems.
To me, it looks like a severe case of leafminers. There are heavy trails on many of the leaves but some curl on their own.
Any ideas as to how I can cure this?

I have decided to use the Bt nematodes.
I was reading a book for roses and it had a piece about leafrollers. The book mostly recommended chemicals but, as a side remark, also recommended Bt nematodes. I thought this would be a good idea as I already have some ordered for my yard anyway.
I will let everyone know how it turns out. :wink: |

| Nematodes sure won't hurt but I would also spray with garlic or garlic -pepper tea. Dry minced garlic in the soil should also help. |

| I will apply some Bt nematodes and start my G/P tea(the Ents method, 5 and 5) on them. I will have to get some more garlic to add to the soil. Thanks DD. :wink: |
