FARMROOT FARM PAECILOMYCES LILACINUS

• A beneficial entomopathogenic fungus. Paecilomyces lilacinus is a biological control agent that effectively targets and suppresses harmful soil-borne nematodes and fungal pathogens. It colonizes the rhizosphere, parasitizes nematode eggs, and releases enzymes that degrade the protective layers of harmful organisms. Its application leads to healthier roots, better nutrient uptake, and improved crop growth.

Features & Benefits

FEATURES

• Effectively targets and suppresses plant-parasitic nematodes such as root-knot, cyst, and lesion nematodes.
• Protects root systems from nematode damage, enhancing nutrient and water uptake.

BENEFITS

• Controls root-knot, cyst, and lesion nematodes Suppresses Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and other fungal pathogens
