Bio Nematon 500ml

BIO NEMATON 

BIO-NEMATON is a biological nematicide based on a selective strain of naturally occuring entomopathogenic fungus paecilomyces lilacinus. It contains spores and mycelial fragments of P.lilacinus. 

Mode of Action:  

The spore of this fungus acts by infecting, parasitizing and killing eggs, juveniles and young adults of most phytophagous.                                    Bio-Nematon produces nematicidal compounds which destroy egg embryos through penetration of egg cuticles by hypha.                                  When the spore of Bio-Nematon comes into contact with different stages of the nematodes, they germinate and grow proliferate throughout the nematode eventually paralysing the nematode leading to the death of the nematode. 

Application: 

Bio-Nematon can applied as a pre-plant treatment, or at planting and emergence stage, or immediately after transplanting.                                                                                                                                                                           

Soil Application: Mix Bio-Nematon 6L with organic fertilizer/well decomposed organic manure/field soil/any other locally available agriculturally usable organic carrier and applied around the rhizosphere uniformly for existing crops in the field.                                                  Bio-Nematon can be incorporated into the soil either mechanically or through profuse watering the field.

Drip System: Mix Bio-Nematon 6L in 1,000L of water, incorporate this into the soil through drip irrigation systems during the pre or post planting stage. 

Frequency of application depends on the Nematode population. Multiple applications are recommended during high disease pressure. Best applied as prophylaxis (preventative) during planting. 

NB: For a highly infested case, drench the soil with synthetic nematicides; when planting incorporate Neem cake and Mycorrhiza + Paecilomyces (Bio-Nematon); drench with Azadirachtin (Nimbecidine) then 3 – 4 weeks later drench again with Azadirachtin (Nimbecidine) + Paecilomyces (Bio-Nematon). Also practise crop rotation with a non-host plant. 

Moisture and organic matter should be sufficient to improve on the population establishment of Paecilomyces lilacinus. 

DO NOT mix inorganic fertilizers with Bio-Nematon. Allow an interval of 1 week. 

DO NOT mix Bio-Nematon with fungicides. Apply Bio-Nematon 10days after application of fungicides. 

Benefits 

Bio-Nematon does not create resistance, resurgence and residue problem. 

BIO-NEMATON does not affect the natural enemies and so, offers a long lasting pest control. 

BIO-NEMATON forms a good molecule for use in IPM programme and thereby helpd to reduce the pesticide load. 

BIO-NEMATON effectively controls the economically important nematodes, burrowing nematodes, cycst nematodes & lesion nematodes.

BIO-NEMATON helps to increase the productivity by containing the nematode pests.
