Byron, it beats me why someone would use $20 worth of beneficial nematodes 
to protect a crop  worth $1. If you want radishes, they're 25 cents a bunch 
at the market. Maybe we all ought to stop identifying the "insect" sight 
unseen and suggest she take a radish to her county agent and find out 
what's to blame.  Margaret L
