ABOUT BENEFICIAL NEMATODES TRIPLE BLEND (HB + SC + SF):
Beneficial Nematodes are people, pet, and planet safe! These microscopic worms parasitize insect larvae. Nematodes release bacteria from their digestive tract while feeding on a host pest. Infected pests will darken in color and typically perish within a span of 7-10 days. The nematodes will emerge from the perishing host to hunt for more pests. Although Beneficial Nematodes are known for preying on pests in their larval stage, they have also been known to target pests at all stages of their life cycle.

ACTIVATE:
Mix nematodes with 1-5 gallons of water (59-69°F) to cover the desired area.
APPLY:
Introduce nematodes onto desired area. Don't be concerned if every inch isn't covered as these organisms will move throughout the soil.
WATER:
Water treated area immediately after application. Keep soil moist for two weeks. Avoid run-off.



HOSE-END SPRAYERS:
Remove filter if applicable. Walk slowly and evenly across the target area, making sure to cover the entire surface.

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
SOIL TEMPERATURE
Soil above 53°F

INTRODUCTION RATES
Preventative/Light: 5 million per 300 sq. ft.
Moderate/Heavy: 5 million per 50 sq. ft.

It's important to note that these release rates serve as general guidelines and may vary based on the specific pest species, the crop or plant being treated, and level of infestation. Proper monitoring of the infestation and the subsequent effectiveness of the released beneficial insect population is crucial for determining the success of the biological control strategy.

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
