KATYAYANI Nemotode Plus ( Verticillium Chlamydosporium)

Verticillium chlamydosporium is a nematophagous fungus recognized for its potential as a biological control agent against root-knot nematodes. It produces a chymoelastase-like protease that hydrolyzes proteins in host nematodes, effectively disrupting their life cycle.

Key Features:

• Type: Bio-Insecticide
• Technical Name: Verticillium chlamydosporium
• CFU Count: Minimum of 2 × 10^8 per gram

Composition:

• Active Ingredient: Verticillium chlamydosporium 1.00% w/w
• Carrier: Talc powder 98.00% w/w
• Additive: Carboxy methyl cellulose 1.00% w/w
• Total: 100% w/w

Mode of Action:

Verticillium chlamydosporium functions as a facultative parasite, attacking the eggs and females of root-knot nematodes. The fungus forms a network of hyphae that envelops the egg mass, penetrates the eggs, and feeds on the nematodes' internal contents, effectively controlling their populations.

Uses:

This fungus is effective in controlling various nematodes, including:

• Root Knot Nematodes
• Reiniform Nematodes
• Citrus Nematodes

Application & Dosage:

• Seed Treatment: 7 g per kg of seeds; mix thoroughly and shade dry before sowing.
• Nursery Beds: 100 g per square meter.
• Soil Application: 2 kg per acre, applied through drip or conventional methods, or mixed with 300-500 kg of FYM, incubated, and then broadcasted over the field.
