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
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.
