Katyayani Nema Cure | Paecilomyces Lilacinus| Liquid Bio Nematicide

Katyayani Paecilomyces Lilacinus is a bio-nematicide powder containing high concentrations of live Paecilomyces lilacinus fungus. It is an eco-friendly alternative to chemical nematicides, effectively targeting and controlling various nematodes in soil.

Target Pests:

• Root-Knot Nematodes
• Cyst Nematodes
• Reniform Nematodes
• Citrus Nematodes
• Stunt Nematodes
• White Grubs
• Other Soil-Borne Pathogens

Target Crops:

• Maize
• Sorghum
• Soybean
• Chickpea
• Brinjal
• Potato
• Capsicum
• Tomato
• Cucumber
• Ornamental Flowers
• Grapes
• Various Fruit and Vegetable Crops

Mode of Action:

1. Spore Germination and Hyphae Growth: Spores contact nematodes and grow fungal threads.
2. Appressoria Formation: Specialized structures anchor the fungus to the nematode.
3. Enzyme Secretion: Enzymes break down the nematode's cuticle and cell wall, allowing fungal entry.
4. Nutrient Absorption and Colonization: Fungus absorbs nutrients from and kills the nematode.
5. Reproduction: Fungus produces new spores in the dead nematode, spreading in the soil.

Dosage and Application:

• Domestic Use: 5-10 grams per liter of water.
• Soil Application: 1-2 kg per acre, applied as a drench or mixed into the soil before planting.

Benefits:

• Effective in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
• Best applied before nematode populations become damaging.
• Organic, safe for humans and pets.
• Results may take several weeks.
