Material Detail

This is a good introductory site with interesting information about beneficial nematodes.  The site explains the basics of nematodes, how they work, and how they can help plants.  It's only been recently that beneficial nematodes have stolen the spotlight.  After decades of trying, researchers now know how to efficiently mass-produce these insect-parasitic nematodes for use in the farming industry, and that's good news for gardeners. These tiny critters help control many common garden pests, including armyworms, rootworms, fleas, fungus gnats, stem borers, root weevils, cutworms, and billbugs. In field research, they've been shown to be just as effective as traditional insecticides on these pests.
