Nematode Slow Release Pearls for Fungus Gnats and Thrips pupae｜ Other Products

A new pest control solution designed for preventative control of fungus gnat larvae and other soil-dwelling pests. This innovative formulation contains nematodes encapsulated within an organic, biodegradable, residue-free coating that release nematodes gradually into the growing media, providing long-term control. 

Novel formulation: Encapsulated in pearl-like, biodegradable capsules for controlled release

Preventative control: Effective against fungus gnat and thrips larvae and some other soil pests

Extended storage life: Maintained for more than 8 weeks.

Environmentally friendly: Made from organic, food-grade materials with zero microplastics, meaning it dissolves without residues.

Water-efficient: Uses significantly less water than traditional nematode applications   

Formulation
Capsule structure: The capsule is made up of a liquid core containing active nematodes which are surrounded by an alginate coating. This shell maintains the internal moisture of the capsule which ensures nematode survivability. 
Slow release: The coating gradually becomes permeable after approximately one-week post-application, allowing the nematodes to migrate into the surrounding soil and actively seek out the pests. 
Extended action: Slow release of nematode into the soil allows for almost double the duration of control compared to traditional nematode applications. 
How to apply
Insert capsules into the compost.  You can do this while repotting or planting but you can also apply by poking a hole in the compost.
Rate: One package of 200 capsules is enough for 20 pots with 12cm diameter or 8 pots with 20 cm diameter.  The product can be kept in the fridge, check the pack for use by date.
