Entomopathogenic Nematodes
Entomopathogenic nematodes are microscopic roundworms that naturally target and kill insect pests. They live in the soil and infect insects by entering their bodies through natural openings, releasing bacteria that rapidly cause the insect to die. These nematodes are used as biological control agents in agriculture because they are specific to pests and environmentally friendly, helping reduce the need for chemical insecticides. They are safe for humans, animals, and plants, making them an effective tool for sustainable pest management.
