Nematode-based biocontrol

Nematode-based biocontrol uses beneficial microscopic worms (nematodes) to manage pest populations naturally. These nematodes invade and kill harmful insects, such as soil-dwelling pests like beetles, grubs, or caterpillars, by entering their bodies and releasing bacteria that cause disease. This method offers an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, reducing environmental impact while targeting specific pests effectively. Nematodes are safe for plants, animals, and humans when used correctly, making them a sustainable option for integrated pest management in agriculture and gardening.
