Description
The EXHIBITLINE HB-C-1 bag - 50 million Individuals accurately delivers Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in a soil-dwelling beneficial nematodes, known for aggressively targeting and eliminating root-dwelling pest larvae. Each bag is packed with 50 million infective juveniles, which are ideal for more focused or smaller scale applications in both home and commercially scaled growing environments.
These nematodes are living specimens that actively hunt for pests like white grubs, root weevils, as well as numerous beetles. They penetrate the larvae host and release symbiotic bacteria capable of killing the host in under 48 hours. The net result is an efficient step for pest control that doesn’t hurt beneficial organisms and is safe for humans and animals.
Biological pest control with a difference
A General Overview of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is an Entomopathogenic nematode selected for cruising behavior; targeting backward to deeper soil zones where concealed pest larvae may be located:
Infects pests through body’s natural openings or directly via the cuticle Releases Photorhabdus luminescens which is a bacteria that immobilizes the host and subsequently digests them.
Life cycle continues within the insect body, whereby new juveniles are released back into the soil.
This biological method which relies on living organisms to control pests provides an advantage by not only reducing the population of target pests, but also does so during the most destructive growth phases to avoid root feeding and reducing crop yield.
Recommendations for Use
Application Areas
- The EXHIBITLINE HB -C- 1 bag - 50 million is ideal for the following directed treatments:
- Small garden areas or raised garden beds
- Cultivation in greenhouses or in containers
- Plant beds or lawn areas with ornamental flowers
- Localized infestations in large growing regions
Useful Hints:
- Take care to apply at the early morning or late afternoon times to avoid UV rays
- Soil should be kept moist 5-7 days after treatment
- Works best when the temperature is between 15°C and 30°C
- Can be applied using sprayers, watering cans, or irrigation systems
- Do not leave the mix for longer than 4-6 hours after preparation, or nematodes will perish.
Environmentally Safe
Non-Toxic and Organic-Friendly
- The EXHIBITLINE HB -C- 1 bag - 50 million is a more sustainable choice than synthetic pest control chemicals:
- Will not affect life of the soil such as bees, their pollinators, and earthworms.
- Does not interfere with the organic farming certification.
- Won’t pollute underground water tables or endanger wildlife in the environment.
- Does not leave any harmful residues on untreated plants, vegetables, or fruits.
- Helps sustain soil biodiversity, enhances soil health, and overall plant health.
Performance Across Crop Types
Broad Compatibility
- Effect pest control matrice works across various cropping surroundings:
- Turfgrass: Crane fly larvae, chafer grubs, and cutworms
- Berries and vegetables: Root weevils, cucumber beetles, and rootworms
- Fungus gnat larvae, scarabs, and beetle larvae are ornamental and potted plants.
For pest managers dealing with more localized pest problems or smaller growing areas, this pack size is practical, profitable, and potent.
Storage and Handling
Best Practices
Keep product quality by:
- Maintaining refrigerated temperatures of 39°F to 50°F and never freezing
- Avoid direct sunlight and keep in original packaging
- Gentle shake during application and before
- Use entire packet as dilution is done
To maintain nematode viability, avoid application with chemical pesticides prior or during.
Final Words
EXHIBITLINE HB-C-1 bag-50 million provides a small yet powerful option to treat rooting zone insect pests while remaining environmentally conscious. Precise control with fast action and simple apply motivates all types of growers to relieve soil and crop yield sustaining pests more sustainably.
