NEMAblom – A biological pest control
NemaBlom offers an effective and non-toxic solution containing 1.3 - 1.5 million nematodes. These microscopic soldiers actively seek out and attack the larvae of the black widow spider in the soil. By preventing the larvae from developing into mosquitoes and laying eggs, NemaBlom typically eradicates the black widow spider population in just over 1 week. With each attack, a new generation of nematodes is created in the soil, ensuring continuous and long-lasting protection.
NemaBlom is based on the nematode Steinernema feltiae, an effective biological control agent for various pests. It can be used against infestations of:
- Mourning mosquitoes
- Harkness
- Flower thrips
- Miners, especially in smaller greenhouses and vegetable production
Sustainable and long-term protection solution
The nematodes in the resting stage, which corresponds to their condition when purchased, can lie dormant in the soil and wait for new midge larvae, provided that the soil is not allowed to dry out. In this way, NemaBlom provides long-term and reliable protection against midge larvae.
Product storage and durability
NemaBlom has a shelf life of 1 year from the date of production if the package is kept cool (but not below freezing). At room temperature, the package will last about 3 months. Resealed packaging retains its shelf life even if it has been opened. Note that nematodes are sensitive to sunlight, dehydration, temperatures below 0°C and above +30°C.
Since the cold chain is broken upon delivery, it is recommended that you use the product as soon as possible after receipt.
How does it work?
The nematodes move freely in the soil and actively seek out their hosts by following substances secreted by the larvae. They attack the larvae through natural body openings, which leads to their rapid death. The nematodes multiply inside the larva, and after about 10 days a new generation of nematodes disperses to seek out and fight new larvae.
NemaBlom can also be used preventively, as the nematodes can survive in the soil for up to 1 year.
The nematodes in NemaBlom do not affect plants, other animals or humans.
Dosage
One package of NemaBlom is enough for approximately 20 pots or 2 square meters of land.
