Description
MAANAVENDRAA is a powerful biological nematicide formulated with Paecilomyces lecanii, an entomopathogenic fungus known for its parasitic activity against a broad spectrum of plant-parasitic nematodes. This fungus invades nematodes upon contact, colonizing their bodies and effectively neutralizing their activity. MAANAVENDRAA not only suppresses harmful nematode populations but also promotes healthier soil and plant root systems, contributing to sustainable and organic crop production.
