What kind of site preparation is needed prior to application?
Again, beneficial nematodes are living organisms that live naturally in the soil. UV radiation and desiccation are the two greatest enemies to the nematode. Consequently, it is important that the soil or site to which the nematodes will be applied is damp and not dry. If the site to be treated it dry, one may apply a greater amount of water with the application to compensate. After the application is completed, we recommend that the treated area be irrigated with a moderate volume of water to assure that the nematodes have sufficient water to move them down onto and into the soil. It is best if applications can be made either early or late in the day to take advantage of lower sunlight strength and cooler temperatures.
