Key Features & Benefits
- Biological Control of Nematodes: Effectively suppresses root-knot nematode populations in the soil.
- Improves Soil Fertility: Enhances and enriches farmyard manure (FYM) by promoting beneficial microbial growth.
- Nematicidal Activity: Acts naturally to destroy nematode eggs and larvae, preventing root damage.
- Eco-Friendly & Safe: A natural, residue-free alternative to chemical nematicides that supports sustainable agriculture.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces dependency on expensive chemical inputs while maintaining soil health.
Mode of Action
Verticillium chlamydosporium colonizes the rhizosphere and infects nematode eggs through enzymatic action, preventing their hatching. The fungus parasitizes larvae and adult nematodes as well, reducing their presence in the root zone. This helps protect plant roots and supports long-term soil health.
Dosage & Application
- Seed Treatment: Mix 20 grams per kg of seed uniformly before sowing.
- With FYM: Mix 1 kg of Verti-Guard with 1 ton of farmyard manure (FYM) and apply evenly across the field.
- Soil Application: Use during field preparation for better root-zone colonization and protection.
Recommended Crops
Ideal for Tomato, Okra, and other vegetable crops affected by nematodes and soil-borne root diseases.
Storage & Safety
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
