Schädlingslexikon – Green Guardia

Engerlinge: Wurzelschäden im Boden erkennen & gezielt bekämpfen

Als Engerlinge bezeichnet man die Larven verschiedener Käferarten, die im Boden leben. Sie fressen an Wurzeln von Rasen und Pflanzen und können ganze Flächen absterben lassen. Entscheidend ist: Nicht jeder Engerling ist gleich schädlich – und nur mit dem passenden Nützling lässt sich der Befall wirksam eindämmen.

ⓘKäferlarven · Engerlinge #Wurzelfraß · kahle Rasenstellen

Was sind Engerlinge?

Engerlinge sind die Larven verschiedener Käfer, z. B. Maikäfer, Junikäfer, Gartenlaubkäfer oder Rosenkäfer. Sie leben mehrere Monate bis Jahre im Boden. Während manche Arten kaum Schaden anrichten, fressen andere intensiv an Pflanzen- und Graswurzeln.

Käferlarven leben im Boden Wurzelfraß möglich
Wichtig: Nicht jeder Engerling ist ein „Schädling“. Besonders der Rosenkäfer-Engerling ist sogar nützlich. Vor Maßnahmen sollte die Art möglichst bestimmt werden.

So erkennst du einen schädlichen Befall

  • gelbe oder braune Rasenflächen, die sich leicht abziehen lassen
  • welkende Pflanzen trotz ausreichender Bewässerung
  • Vögel oder Wild graben den Rasen auf (auf der Suche nach Engerlingen)
  • weiße, C-förmig gekrümmte Larven im Boden
Green Guardia Tipp: Hebe an einer Schadstelle ein Stück Rasen an. Finden sich mehrere Engerlinge pro Quadratmeter, ist Handlungsbedarf gegeben.

Welche Käferlarven sind problematisch?

  • Maikäfer-Engerlinge (starker Wurzelfraß)
  • Junikäfer-Engerlinge
  • Gartenlaubkäfer-Engerlinge

Warum kommt es zu Engerlingen im Garten?

  • Eiablage der Käfer in lockeren, offenen Böden oder Rasenflächen
  • warmes Frühjahr und Sommer
  • wenig natürliche Gegenspieler im Boden
  • jahrelange ungestörte Entwicklung im Erdreich

Der passende Nützling gegen Engerlinge: Nematoden

Nematoden (nützliche Fadenwürmer) sind die effektivste natürliche Lösung gegen schädliche Engerlinge. Je nach Engerling-Art kommen unterschiedliche Nematodenarten zum Einsatz (z. B. Heterorhabditis oder Steinernema).

Warum Nematoden so gut wirken

  • sie suchen die Engerlinge aktiv im Boden
  • dringen in die Larven ein und unterbrechen deren Entwicklung
  • wirken genau dort, wo der Schaden entsteht: an den Wurzeln
  • sind für Menschen, Haustiere und Pflanzen harmlos
Warum Nematoden die beste Wahl sind: Engerlinge leben versteckt im Boden und sind mechanisch kaum erreichbar. Nematoden nutzen genau diesen Lebensraum und wirken gezielt, ohne das Bodenleben zu stören.

Was ist bei der Anwendung wichtig?

  • Boden sollte feucht, aber nicht trocken oder staunass sein
  • Anwendung zur aktiven Larvenzeit (meist Frühjahr oder Spätsommer)
  • gleichmäßige Ausbringung und Nachbewässerung

FAQ zu Engerlingen

Sind alle Engerlinge schädlich?

Nein. Rosenkäfer-Engerlinge sind nützlich und sollten nicht bekämpft werden. Problematisch sind vor allem Mai-, Juni- und Gartenlaubkäfer.

Wann ist der beste Zeitpunkt für Nematoden?

Wenn die Engerlinge aktiv und noch nicht zu groß sind – meist im Frühjahr oder Spätsommer/Herbst.

Wie lange dauert es, bis man eine Wirkung sieht?

Erste Effekte zeigen sich oft nach einigen Wochen, wenn sich der Wurzelfraß deutlich reduziert.

Kann der Befall wiederkommen?

Ja, durch erneute Eiablage. Regelmäßige Kontrolle und ggf. erneuter Einsatz der passenden Nematoden hilft, den Druck niedrig zu halten.
