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.
