Features and instructions for the use of the drug Nemabakt

Many gardeners and agronomists are faced with the problem of unwanted pests. We are talking, of course, about various types of insects, which sometimes destroy entire crops. There are many means to combat these animals, but very often these are quite aggressive methods that harm the plants themselves and pose a threat to the harvest. In this article, we offer a brief overview of Nemabact, a harmless and biological insecticide.

What is Nemabact?

"Nemabakt" is a popular remedy used by experienced gardeners to get rid of garden pests. In other words, it is a bioinsecticide, with the help of which insects are destroyed at the larval stage in the soil and the bio-balance is maintained for the next two to three years.

This tool is used, as a rule, when preserving vegetable and fruit crops. Also "Nemabakt" will be a useful purchase for flower growers or for the treatment of land in forests. The composition of "Nemabakt" includes entomopathogenic nematodes and symbiotic bacteria.

The spectrum of action of the tool

Such a chemical mixture is effective against the Colorado potato beetle, the larvae of click beetles - wireworms, western flower (California) thrips, miners and other species of flies, weevils, bears, May beetle, bedbugs, locusts, gadflies, mushroom mosquitoes and other insects. This drug demonstrates high efficiency and in many cases allows you to reduce, and sometimes even completely eliminate the use of hazardous pesticides. We can also say that "Nemabakt" is a completely biological and safe way to protect plants and soil from pests. It should be noted that this drug is completely biological and will not harm humans, pets, or beneficial insects.

Notable properties and features

The features of "Nemabakt" are manifested in its action. At its core, it is a symbiosis of a predatory nematode and bacteria that enter the larvae of future pests and destroy it. An entomopathogenic nematode or EPN (also called insect parasitic) is a microscopic worm that takes up residence in the soil and acts internally to cleanse the earth. The principle of operation of EPN is penetration into the larva, as a rule, through the respiratory organs and its destruction within one or two days. Then the worm leaves the empty shell and goes in search of new larvae.

An interesting fact is that the nematode is able to exist without food for more than two years. If an insect appears in the vicinity, the worm is activated and penetrates into the body of the insect or its larva. The nematode literally populates the pest's body with bacteria, which facilitates the reproduction and growth of new nematodes. At low temperatures, the EPN enters anabiotic state and stops moving. Therefore, it is very important to warm the drug before use (in a natural way, in no case should it be heated) to the ambient temperature. Otherwise, the nematode dies on the soil surface. In winter, the worms "fall asleep", and in the spring they are active again.

How to use the drug

What does the label of the drug Nemabakt look like?

So, you are ready to try the drug in action. In this case, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the rules for the use of "Nemabakt".The formulation is usually "divided" by weight or volume to treat a certain amount of plants or soil. To add "Nemabakt" to the soil, it is necessary to prepare a working solution by diluting the preparation with water. The nematode is then injected into the soil using any type of sprayer.

In the process of irrigating the soil, the suspension must be constantly mixed. In order not to clog the sprayer, gardeners remove filters. It is not recommended to apply the solution to dry soil, it is better to pre-moisten the soil. Also, in some cases, it is better to loosen the soil in advance, especially if the soil is very dense. After using the drug, it is worth re-moistening the soil. This will make it easier for the nematode to penetrate deeper into the soil. The recommended consumption is one pack per 100 square meters.
