Protects crops from disease complex caused by nematodes and some of pathogenic fungi/ bacteria.
Specification
Active Ingredients
Paecilomyces lilacinus (Min. 1x108 CFU /ml in Liquid Based & min. 1x108 CFU/gm in Carrier Based)
Mode of Action
On soil application of Multiplex NIYANTRAN, the fungal hyphae infest the various harmful nematodes in soil.
Infestation starts through the parasitism and penetration of their mycelium to the body and egg of the nematodes resulting in the disruption of lipid and chitin layer of eggshell. Finally, egg contents will be destroyed.
The fungus is also capable of invading mature ones.
