Product Description
What is Verticillium chlamydosporium?
Verticillium chlamydosporium is a naturally occurring soil fungus that acts as a bio-nematicide it parasitizes and kills plant-parasitic nematodes in soil. This beneficial fungus attacks nematode eggs, juveniles, and females by penetrating their body wall and consuming them from inside.
Krishikranti NEMTOD contains live spores of Verticillium chlamydosporium that establish in soil and provide long-term biological control of root-knot nematodes, cyst nematodes, and reniform nematodes. It is 100% organic, safe for humans, animals, and environment perfect for organic farming, export crops, and sustainable agriculture.
How NEMTOD Bio-Nematicide Works
When applied to soil, Verticillium chlamydosporium works through multiple ways:
- Egg parasitism fungus penetrates nematode eggs and destroys them before they hatch
- Female attack infects mature female nematodes, stopping egg production
- Juvenile predation captures and kills young nematodes in soil
- Root colonization establishes on plant roots, creating a protective barrier against nematode invasion
- Population suppression reduces nematode numbers by 70–90% over 60–90 days
Why bio-control wins: Chemical nematicides kill nematodes for 15–30 days but don't establish in soil. NEMTOD builds up beneficial fungal population that gives season-long protection and improves with repeated use.
Target Nematodes & Crops
| Crop Category | Target Nematodes |

Dosage & Application
| Application Method | Dosage | When to Apply |
|---|---|---|
| Soil Treatment | 1.5-2 per litre acre mixed with FYM or vermicompost | Before sowing or transplanting |
| Soil Drench | 1.5 water per acre | Around plant root zone — repeat every 30 days |
| Nursery Treatment | 1 litre per 100 kg potting mixture | Mix in potting soil before sowing seedlings |
| Greenhouse / Polyhouse | 1-2 litres / 200 litter water | Mix in growing medium before planting |
| Fruit Trees | 30 ml per tree around root zone | Apply during monsoon or irrigation |
💡 Pro Tip: NEMTOD is 100% organic and can be used with any chemical fertilizer or pesticide. For best results, use with organic amendments like FYM, vermicompost, or neem cake. Works well in combination with Trichoderma and Pseudomonas bio-agents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Verticillium chlamydosporium used for?
Verticillium chlamydosporium is a bio-nematicide used to control root-knot nematodes, cyst nematodes, reniform nematodes, and other plant-parasitic nematodes in vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and field crops through biological soil treatment.
Q2: What is the dose of NEMTOD per acre?
For soil treatment — 2 to 4 kg per acre mixed with FYM or vermicompost. For soil drench 100 g in 200 litres of water per acre around root zone. For nursery 50 g per 100 kg potting mixture.
Q3: How effective is Verticillium chlamydosporium against root-knot nematodes?
Scientific studies show Verticillium chlamydosporium reduces root-knot nematode population by 70–90% within 60–90 days. It attacks nematode eggs, juveniles, and females providing season-long biological control.
Q4: Is NEMTOD safe for organic farming?
Yes. NEMTOD is 100% organic and approved for organic farming. No chemical residues, safe for humans, animals, beneficial insects, and environment. Perfect for export crops and sustainable agriculture.
Q5: Can NEMTOD be used with chemical pesticides?
Yes. Verticillium chlamydosporium is compatible with most chemical fertilizers and pesticides. However, avoid mixing with strong fungicides that may kill the beneficial fungus. Apply separately with 7–10 days gap if using fungicides.
Q6: How long does NEMTOD take to show results?
Initial establishment takes 15–20 days. Visible reduction in nematode symptoms appears within 30–45 days. Maximum nematode control achieved in 60–90 days as fungal population builds up in soil.
Q7: What is the shelf life of Verticillium chlamydosporium?
NEMTOD has 24 months shelf life when stored in cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Check spore count on packet before use.
Q8: Can it be used in greenhouse and polyhouse?
Yes. NEMTOD works excellently in protected cultivation. Apply 50 g per 10 square metres in growing medium. Controlled environment helps beneficial fungus establish faster and gives better nematode control.
