Mode of Action
Verticillium chlamydosporium colonizes the soil and root zone, producing chlamydospores that parasitize nematode eggs. The fungus attaches to nematode eggs or bodies, germinates, and penetrates using hyphae. Once inside, it feeds on nematode tissues, weakening and killing them. New spores are produced, continuing the cycle and suppressing future nematode populations.
