Product details

LALNIX ACT DC is a biological nematicide used to control plant-parasitic nematodes; microscopic, worm-like organisms that feed on plant roots and can cause extensive crop damage.

Modes of Action
  • Spores of the fungus adhere to nematode eggs or the bodies of nematodes as they move through the soil.
  • The spores germinate and penetrate the nematodes.
  • The growing fungus engulfs the nematode over a period of several days, killing it by consuming its body contents.

Key benefits

  • A naturally occurring fungus that is a highly effective parasite of nematodes at all life stages, especially immobile stages such as eggs, cysts, and infectious juveniles.
  • An excellent IPM tool that can be used pre-plant, at transplant, or post-planting.
  • Not harmful to non-target or beneficial species, soil profile, or the environment.
