Killer Green: Plant Oil Nematicide for Root Protection
Killer Green is a liquid nematicide formulation containing plant oils designed to control nematode populations and support root development.
Composition
Killer Green contains plant-derived oils combined with nitrogen and isothiocyanates.
Active Ingredients
- Nitrogen (N): 10%
- Isothiocyanates
- Plant oil base
Mode of Action
The isothiocyanates in the formulation interfere with nematode biological processes. Plant oils create conditions that reduce nematode survival rates. The nitrogen component provides nutritional support to treated plants, supporting root development during the treatment period.
Application Guidelines
Killer Green is applied through irrigation systems to target soil-dwelling nematodes whilst providing nutritional support to plant root systems.
- Method: Fertigation. Apply through irrigation water during regular watering cycles.
- Recommended Rate: 2 – 3 litres/feddan.
The liquid formulation allows for uniform distribution through standard irrigation equipment. Apply when nematode presence is detected, or as part of an integrated pest management program.
These application rates are provided as a guide for use. For specific recommendations, it is advised to consult with a Green Magic agronomist at no cost.
Target Crops
Killer Green is formulated to control various plant-parasitic nematodes commonly found in Egyptian soils, including those affecting:
- Vegetable crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines)
- Field crops (cotton, wheat, rice)
- Tree crops (citrus, grapes, stone fruits)
- Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic)
The selection of an appropriate pesticide depends on several factors, including crop type, nematode species, soil characteristics, and infestation levels. A well-planned approach is essential for effective management.
