The biological product is used for treating seeds of vegetable and fruit crops, potato tubers, tree and shrub seedlings, as well as for foliar treatment of crops during the growing season using a ground sprayer, applied two or three times. For potatoes, application is possible after planting and before hilling.</p> <blockquote><b>Important:</b> The conditions required for the survival and development of the nematophagous fungus are similar to those in which the plant root system develops. The closer the product is applied to the plant root, the more reliable the protection of the root system. The nematophagous fungus spreads and protects an increasingly larger area around the plant root.</blockquote> </div>
