You can’t see it happening — but it’s happening fast. After application, our nematodes go to work:.Hunting soil insect larvae like corn rootworm.Entering through spiracles openings (breathing holes).Releasing symbiotic bacteria that kill the pest in 24–48 hours.Reproducing and

You’re already using traits. Maybe insecticide, too. But if you're still finding rootworm damage, it might be time to add one more layer. Persistent BioControl nematodes give you an additional below ground mode of action — right where rootworm resistance starts. One application,

Most biologicals stick around for a few days or weeks. Ours don’t. Phased infectivity means our nematodes aren't all immediately active. Some start hunting right after application. Others take weeks — or even years — before going active. That’s what gives you extended

Your corn roots have a story to tell. Now’s the time to dig. Look for root scarring, pruning, or signs of early lodging — especially if you had rootworm pressure last year. Understanding last year’s pressure is the first step to protecting next year’s crop. Learn what to look

Across Alberta and the Prairies, researchers are testing nematodes to manage crop pests - and the results look promising. But not all nematodes are built to persist. Ours were developed in farm soils and bred for hardiness — to survive drought, cold, rotations, and protect

Traits are slipping. Rootworm pressure is building. And growers are seeing it firsthand. Keegan Shields sat down with Paul Yeager on Market to Market to talk about what’s happening in the field — and why biocontrol nematodes are a critical tool in resilient, long-term rootworm

Very nice NW Illinois application of our biocontrol nematodes. Fertilizer stream nozzles and 50 gal / acre ensure the nematodes can get down in the soil.
