Nema-t-bag phasma (1st) slugs
Nema T-bag Phasma is a mixture of nematodes. These are microscopic roundworms that live in the soil. They are natural enemies of slugs.
These nematodes can be used to control snails. Snail larvae are hidden in the soil, and the nematodes penetrate the snail larvae and release bacteria that stun and kill them within 2 to 3 days. They feed on the dead larvae and reproduce inside them. After 2 to 6 weeks, new nematodes emerge and resume their activities, continuing their work for as long as there are snails.
Nematodes are an ecological and efficient pest control method that is non-toxic to humans or animals and harmless to plants. The more nematodes spread, the more effective they are. Overdosing is not harmful.
Thanks to a unique patented technology, the nematodes in this package live in cryptobiosis, a phase in which they do not move or use oxygen. They can survive in this physiological state for at least six months, even without refrigeration. By dissolving the bag of nematodes in lukewarm water, they become active again after a few hours. Nematodes are a biological control agent that is also approved for organic farming.
