BIO NEMATON by T. Stanes and Company : Biological Nematicide for Root Protection

Plant-parasitic nematodes, particularly root-knot nematodes, pose a significant threat to crop health by damaging root systems, impairing nutrient and water uptake, and ultimately reducing yields. BIO NEMATON is an eco-friendly biological nematicide formulated with the beneficial fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus, designed to effectively manage these microscopic pests in the soil.

Developed by T. Stanes and Company, this product is a registered biological nematicide under the Central Insecticide Board & Registration Committee (CIB&RC). It offers a sustainable solution for protecting crops from nematode infestation and is available in both Wettable Powder (1.15% WP) and Liquid (1.50% LF) formulations.

Key Features and Performance Benefits

• Active Ingredient: Contains a potent strain of Paecilomyces lilacinus, a naturally occurring fungus that is a known parasite of nematode eggs and juveniles.

• Mode of Action: The fungus infects, colonizes, and parasitizes nematode eggs and young juveniles, destroying them before they can mature and cause significant root damage.

• Comprehensive Control: Effectively manages all stages of nematodes, with particular efficacy against the passive egg stage, helping to break the pest life cycle.

• No Resistance Development: As a biological agent, it does not lead to the development of resistance in nematode populations.

• CIB&RC Registered: Holds registration for specific crops, with the liquid formulation being the first biological nematicide registered for root-knot nematode control.

  • Brinjal: Root-Knot Nematodes (WP formulation)

  • Tomato: Root-Knot Nematodes (LF formulation)

• Organic Certification: An organically certified product, making it an ideal choice for use in organic farming and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems.

Application and Suitability

For best results, an initial application is recommended before sowing or transplanting, followed by a second application approximately 30 days after planting. BIO NEMATON can be safely applied at any stage of crop growth to manage nematode populations.

Recommended Dosage:

• Powder (WP) Formulation: 1.2 kg per acre (3.0 kg per hectare)

• Liquid (LF) Formulation: 2.5 liters per acre (6.0 liters per hectare)

A Foundation for Healthy Root Systems

BIO NEMATON provides a reliable and proactive method for managing damaging nematode populations in the soil. By targeting the pest at its most vulnerable stages, it helps to establish and maintain a healthier root zone, leading to improved plant vigor, enhanced nutrient absorption, and more resilient crops.
