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.
Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.
SC Nematodes perform well in a range of temperatures and is adaptable to different climatic conditions.
Often used for early-season pest control.
Highly mobile and active closer to the soil surface than HB and SF. Avoid run-off
