I keep thinking those surface granules and the ones I scratched in aren't going to make it far enough down into the soil to kill the larva down deep.
Should be OK, but mind that the temp is just tepid, not too hot. So the BT are still viable.
In 1 week fusarium would not take the plants down. Fungus gnat larvae surely would.
