Paecilomyces lilacinus 1.15% WP is a powerful and targeted biological nematicide and fungicide, formulated as a Wettable Powder. It utilizes a specific strain of the naturally occurring soil fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus, to proactively control parasitic root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) and other harmful nematodes, as well as certain soil-borne fungal pathogens.

This bio-agent works through a multi-mode action that is safe for plants, beneficial organisms, and the environment. Upon application, the spores of Paecilomyces lilacinus germinate and colonize the root zone. It then directly attacks its targets by parasitizing nematode eggs and juveniles, penetrating them with its hyphae and digesting their contents, effectively preventing them from hatching and maturing. Furthermore, it also parasitizes the eggs of other pests and can compete with and suppress disease-causing fungi like Fusarium and Verticillium.
Key benefits of using Paecilomyces lilacinus 1.15% WP
- include its effectiveness as a key component in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and resistance management programs, reducing the reliance on harsh chemical nematicides.
- It is safe for use on a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and tobacco, and promotes healthier root systems, leading to improved plant vigor and potential yield increases.
- As a biological solution, it leaves no harmful chemical residues, making it an ideal choice for sustainable and organic farming practices.
