Farmroot Cruiser is an entomopathogenic nematode bio-pesticide designed for effective and natural control of soil-borne insect pests in agricultural crops. It contains beneficial nematodes such as Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (including Heterorhabditis indica) which enter insect hosts through natural openings and release symbiotic bacteria that kill the pests from inside.

Key Features:

• Contains live entomopathogenic nematodes with high infective juvenile (IJ) counts (approximately 10,000 IJs per gram).
• Formulated with 1% active nematodes in a carrier of carboxymethyl cellulose for stability.
• Targets a broad spectrum of soil-borne insect pests like root grubs, white grubs, termites, cutworms, borers, and other damaging soil insects.
• Suitable for use in vegetables, fruits, plantation crops, cereals, and other field crops.
• Eco-friendly and residue-free, making it safe for beneficial insects, humans, and the environment.
• Easy to apply with soil drenching or mixing in irrigation.
• Provides long-lasting pest control directly in the soil, protecting roots and improving plant health.

Benefits:

• Natural biological control that reduces the need for chemical insecticides.
• Protects crops by killing insect larvae and pupae in the soil.
• Compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) practices.
• Helps maintain soil health and promotes sustainable farming.
• Effective pest suppression leads to improved crop yield and quality.

Usage:

• Apply as a soil drench or via irrigation at recommended dosages (generally 500 ml to 1 liter suspension per plant/root zone depending on crop and pest pressure).
• Maintain adequate soil moisture to enhance nematode survival and effectiveness.
• Apply at early pest infestation stages for best results.

Farmroot Cruiser offers growers a safe, efficient, and natural solution to manage destructive soil insect pests and safeguard crop health through biologically based pest control.
