When to use?

Use nematodes as soon as plants grow poorly, turf comes loose or bare patches appear. Quick action also matters with root damage or dying grass: the sooner you start, the more effective the treatment.

Step by step

How to apply the nematodes

1

Preparation

  • Lightly water the soil before you start
  • Make sure the ground is moist, but not wet
  • Do not use chemical products before, during or after treatment
WhyNematodes need moisture to move through the soil.
2

Make the base solution

  • Dissolve the entire sachet of nematodes in 1 litre of water
  • Stir gently but thoroughly until evenly spread
  • Let the solution stand for a few minutes
NoteAlways use a full pack per treatment — nematodes are living organisms.
3

Dilute and apply

  • Mix the base solution with enough water for the surface
  • Guideline: ± 10 litres of diluted solution per 10 m²
  • Apply evenly with a watering can or sprayer without fine filters, so the nematodes are not damaged
4

The best moment

  • In the early morning or late evening
  • Avoid bright sunlight and high temperatures — UV light and drying out reduce survival
5

Aftercare and repetition

  • Keep the soil moist for 7 to 14 days; water lightly again if needed
  • First improvement is usually visible within 2 to 3 weeks
  • Repeat the treatment after a few weeks if pest pressure persists
