Scarid is a real problem in protected cropping and spraying with chemicals will not cut the mustard.
As with all friendly controls it’s wise to go in with at least two modes of action. Both of the following are equally as good so I will start with atheta beetles. These are extremely aggressive and move quickly around the crop.
The other excellent control is nematodes. These need to be watered into the crop and they attack the larva.
When you put these on you need to use overhead systems removing any filter. They will block up your drip systems.
