Triple Blend Nematodes - Introduction Rates
Introduction Sites
Beneficial nematodes can be used indoors, outdoors, or anywhere developing pests exist: gardens, greenhouses, indoor grows, houseplants, lawns, orchards, vineyards, and more.
Application Rates
These are general starting points. Actual application should be adjusted based on pest species, plant type, and infestation severity. Monitor pest and predator populations regularly to gauge how well the program is working.
| Application | Rate |
|---|---|
| Preventative/Light Infestation | 5 million nematodes per 1,250 sq. ft. |
| Moderate/Heavy Infestation | 5 million nematodes per 250 sq. ft. |
Soil Temperature Range
Apply when soil is above 46°F. Nematodes slow down in cooler soil but aren't harmed, and work best from about 55–86°F.
| Species | Minimum threshold (low activity) |
Optimum range (high activity) |
Upper practical limit (low activity) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sf | ~46°F / 8°C | 57–79°F / 14–26°C | ~88°F / 31°C |
| Sc | ~57°F / 14°C | 66–88°F / 19–31°C | ~93°F / 34°C |
| Hb | ~61°F / 16°C | 66–91°F / 19–33°C | ~95°F / 35°C |
Combined, the blend tolerates soil temperatures from roughly 46°F to 95°F (8°C–35°C), giving usable coverage across a wider seasonal range than a single species alone. All three species need consistently moist soil to move and hunt.
