Paecilomyces lilacinus powder 25 Kg Drum

Product Name:

Paecilomyces lilacinus Nematode Control Bio-agent

Cfu Cells/Gram:

Minimum 2 x 10⁸ (200 Million) viable spores per gram | High-potency, nematode-specific parasitic strain.

Base:

Available in specialized formulations for targeted soil application:

• Wettable Powder (WP): For soil drench, drip irrigation, and seed treatment.

• Water soluble form dextrose: For direct soil broadcast and deep placement.

Benefits:

• Effective Nematode Parasite: Specifically targets and infects eggs, juveniles, and adult stages of Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.), Cyst Nematodes (Heterodera, Globodera), and other plant-parasitic nematodes.

• Mode of Action: Spores attach to and penetrate the nematode cuticle or eggshell, colonizing and destroying the target from within.

• Safe for Plants & Soil: Completely non-pathogenic to plants, earthworms, and beneficial soil microbes. Supports organic and sustainable farming systems.

• Residue-Free & MRL Compliant: Leaves no chemical residues, ensuring produce meets strict export and domestic safety standards.

• Improves Root Health: By reducing nematode pressure, it allows for stronger, healthier root systems and improved nutrient uptake.

Suggested For Crops:

Critical for nematode-prone crops and soils:

• Vegetables: Tomato, Brinjal, Okra, Cucumber, Carrot

• Fruits: Banana, Citrus, Grapes, Pineapple, Strawberry

• Field & Cash Crops: Cotton, Soybean, Pulses, Tobacco

• Ornamentals & Nurseries: Rose, Gerbera, Polyhouse crops

• Problem Soils: Fields with a known history of root-knot or cyst nematode infestation.

Application Dosage & Method:

• Soil Drench: Mix 1.0 - 1.5 kg of WP powder per acre in 500-1000 liters of water. Apply as a drench to the root zone at planting or during early crop growth.

• Drip Irrigation/Chemigation: Apply 800 grams - 1.2 kg of WP powder per acre through the drip system for uniform distribution.

• Seed Treatment: Mix 5 - 10 grams of WP powder per kg of seeds using a sticky organic binder for early protection.

Soil Application Dosage:

• Broadcast & Incorporation: Apply 2.0 - 3.0 kg of WP powder per acre, mixed with 200 kg of well-decomposed compost or sand, and incorporate into the top 6-8 inches of soil before planting.

• Granular Application: Apply 3.0 - 4.0 kg of Granular (G) formulation per acre directly in planting pits or furrows.

• Nursery Bed Treatment: Mix 50 - 100 grams of WP powder per square meter of nursery bed soil.

Note:

• Preventive Application is Key: Most effective when applied before or at planting to reduce initial nematode populations. Curative use requires higher rates and repeat applications.

• Soil Moisture & Temperature: Requires adequate soil moisture for spore germination and activity. Optimal soil temperature is 25-30°C. Irrigate after application if soil is dry.

• Compatibility: Compatible with organic manures and most bio-fertilizers. Do not mix with chemical nematicides or fungicides. Can be used in rotation or combination with neem cake for enhanced effect.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration (4-8°C) is recommended for long-term viability beyond 12 months.

• Best Results: For severe infestations, combine soil pre-treatment at planting with a post-planting drench at 30-45 days. Regular use over seasons reduces nematode populations build-up.
