Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving the product, place it immediately in a refrigerator or a cool location below 5°C to preserve the life of the nematodes. When ready to apply, ensure the soil is thoroughly moist, as nematodes require a water film to travel through the soil profile. They are compatible with most standard watering cans or hose-end sprayers, provided the sprayer nozzle is not too fine, which might trap the organisms. Do not apply in direct, bright sunlight. After application, continue to keep the soil moist for at least a week to support the nematodes as they establish themselves in the environment.
