2020 has been a particularly bad year for Citrus Leaf Miner This season has been remarkably bad for citrus leaf miner - with a likely reason being an infestation brought into the region with changing weather conditions.
Citrus leaf miner is a pest that attacks all varieties of citrus, including some Australian native species. The adult is a tiny, night flying moth with a wingspan of only five millimetres. But it's not the moth that actually does the damage, it's their larvae. Eggs are laid on new leaves where they hatch and tunnel or mine their way through the leaves leaving a squiggly, silver trail in their path.
It is critical to note that the full benefits of neem are only realised when the active ingredient from the oil is extracted, processed and bottled correctly. Otherwise you risk buying and using a product that will not be as effective as needed. At The Garden Shed Nursery, we have developed a concentrate called Neem Active - that contains only the constituent ingredient that actually kills bugs. A 250ml bottle (used with our directions) should last you months.
