FAQs

Can I reuse these collars?

Yes, they can be cleaned and reused for future planting seasons.

Do these protect against aphids?

No, these are specifically designed to stop cabbage root fly larvae from accessing the roots; they do not provide protection against aphids.

At what stage should I apply the collars?

Apply the collars immediately after transplanting your brassica seedlings into their final outdoor positions.

Will these stop the plant from growing?

No, the design allows for natural stem expansion as the plant matures.

Are these made of plastic?

The collars are made of a durable, flexible material designed to withstand garden conditions, consistent with the standard manufacturing of Vitax plant protection products.

Troubleshooting

The collar keeps shifting away from the plant base.

Ensure the collar is pressed firmly into the soil surface and consider pinning it down with small garden staples if needed.

Pests are still damaging the crop.

Check that the collar is completely flush with the soil; any gap between the collar and the dirt acts as an entry point for pests.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely chemical-free pest control
  • Easy to install around young transplants
  • Accommodates stem growth over time
  • Specific protection against cabbage root fly

Cons

  • Only effective for brassica varieties
  • Does not protect against airborne pests
  • Requires proper soil contact for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your collars, simply slide the collar around the stem of the plant at soil level. It is vital to ensure the collar is sitting flat against the soil surface; if it is tilted, pests may find a gap to access the roots.

Compatibility: These collars are specifically designed for brassica crops including cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.

Care: While the material is durable, inspect the collars periodically during the season to ensure they haven't been displaced by heavy rain or garden traffic. After the harvest, the collars can be cleaned, dried, and stored for use in the following season.
