Pacific Fertilizer Company specific approach to manage and treat the Strawberry Bud Weevil (Anthonomus signatus) infestation in or on a strawberry. 

Treatment Scope of Work for Strawberry Bud Weevil:

  1. Pest Identification: Identify and confirm the presence of the Strawberry Bud Weevil (Anthonomus signatus) on the strawberry plants.

  2. Fertilizer Application: Apply Pacific Fertilizer Company's Triple Strength Fertilizer to enhance the overall health and resilience of the strawberry plants, making them more capable of withstanding the Strawberry Bud Weevil attack.

  3. Raised Dirt Frame Maintenance: Ensure that the one-foot raised dirt frames used for growing strawberries are properly maintained, providing necessary support for the plants.

  4. Watering and Harvest Cycle:

    • Watering and Harvest Cycle Operator: During the watering and harvest cycles, operate a 15-pound pressure washer to hose down the strawberry plants. This may help dislodge and deter the Strawberry Bud Weevils.
  5. Fertilizer Application (Minerals): Apply a concentrated ocean mineral-based fertilizer to improve the overall health and vigor of the strawberry plants, further supporting their ability to resist the Strawberry Bud Weevil infestation.

  6. Pest Monitoring:

    • Monitoring Team: Conduct daily monitoring to assess the extent of the Strawberry Bud Weevil infestation, track the effectiveness of treatments, and report findings to the team leader.
  7. Pressure Wash Treatment: If necessary, use pressure washing as a treatment method to physically remove Strawberry Bud Weevils and their eggs from the strawberry plants.

  8. Temperature Management: Maintain temperature conditions suitable for strawberry growth, ensuring that the plants thrive in the intended climate.
