PRO TIPS:
To get the most out of your Beneficial Nematode application, be sure to follow these tips:
Release indoors at any time, or outdoors in the morning, evening, or on a cloudy day. To ensure survival, avoid exposing to direct sunlight.
Water soil before application. Soil surface should be kept moist for two weeks after application. Soil temperature of 44°-83°F is optimal. If soil temperature is higher than 86°F, irrigate with at least 0.1 inch of water before and after application.
Nematodes are vulnerable to ultraviolet light and various chemical pesticides. Best if not mixed with pesticides or fertilizers.
STORAGE:
Do not freeze. Store in a dark space at 36-45°F for no more than 30 days. Once activated, release within 1 hour.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LIVE DELIVERY GUARANTEED
Easy release powder dissolves quickly and is trusted by professionals for its effectiveness. Nematodes work well in different temperatures and adapts to various weather conditions with ease.
Beneficial Nematodes are tiny worms found in soil that target young stages of pest insects, like larvae, grubs, nymphs, and pupae. These helpful creatures rely on moisture to move around and locate their prey. If it's too dry, they can't move well, and if it's too wet, they might drown or get washed away.
Their life cycle starts when female nematodes lay eggs, which hatch into non-feeding juveniles. These juveniles molt several times until they become hungry infective juveniles. They actively search for hosts, enter them, and release bacteria that kill the pests. Within a few days, the infected insect dies, and the juveniles feed on it. This cycle repeats until conditions change.
When the food source is gone, mature nematodes mate, and females lay eggs, starting the cycle anew. It continues as long as conditions stay favorable..
INTRODUCTION RATES / PRO TIPS
- Release indoors at any time, or outdoors in the morning, evening, or on a cloudy day. Nematodes are vulnerable to ultraviolet light.
- Water soil before application. Soil surface should be kept moist for two weeks after application. Soil temperature of 44°-86°F is optimal. If soil temperature is higher than 86°F, irrigate with at least 0.1 inch of water before and after application.
- Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.
- Combination of HB + SC + SF allows for a wide range of pest control
CROPS
