NEMA-DEAD is a groundbreaking triple-action natural nematicide designed for both curative and preventive measures. This
unique product features a special blend of natural ingredients, which are abundant in nematicidal compounds, in addition to unsaturated fatty acids, green chemicals, and bio-stimulants. It stands out as the world’s first novel nematicide that combines the benefits of chemical and natural products into a single formulation, providing ZERO residuals, no waiting period, and no pre-harvest interval (PHI).
NEMA-DEAD Mode of Action:
1. Inhibition of Nematode Cholesterol Biosynthesis
NEMA-DEAD effectively inhibits the development of root-knot nematodes by suppressing cholesterol biosynthesis in these pests.
2. Natural Oils with Toxic Nematicidal Compounds
The essential natural oils found in NEMA-DEAD are rich in potent nematicidal compounds that prevent the hatching of nematode eggs.
3. Enzyme Production to Destroy Eggs 
NEMA-DEAD generates specific enzymes that target and destroy nematode eggs, stopping larvae from hatching and infecting new roots.
4. Production of Ammonia Toxic to Adult Nematodes
Once metabolized, unique compounds in NEMA-DEAD produce ammonia that is harmful to adult nematodes.
5. Stimulation of Plant Defence Mechanisms
NEMA-DEAD encourages plant roots to generate a variety of biologically active chemicals and secondary metabolites, boosting the plant's defense against both biotic and abiotic stressors.
6. Compounds Enhancing Plant Defence
NEMA-DEAD includes compounds that act as low molecular weight flower pigments, antibiotics, UV protectants, and insect repellents, all of which are crucial for plant wound healing and defense responses.
7. Induction of Natural Resistance and Plant Growth Stimulation
NEMA-DEAD prompts plants to produce natural compounds that enhance resistance in various crops. It also supports plant growth by increasing shoot length, shoot weight, and root length compared to untreated plants.
8. Creation of Long-Lasting Root Barriers
The advanced technology behind NEMA-DEAD forms a protective barrier around root hairs, effectively preventing nematode entry for an extended duration.
9. Fungicidal Action for Pre-Plant Soil Treatment
NEMA-DEAD possesses fungicidal properties, making it suitable for pre-plant soil treatment to manage or reduce soil-borne diseases like bacterial wilt, verticillium wilt, pink root, as well as plant-parasitic nematodes, garden centipedes (symphylans), and wireworms.
10. Immediate Application with No Wait Time
NEMA-DEAD can be applied immediately, allowing for harvesting without any waiting period.
NEMA-DEAD’s RECOMMENDED DOSES AS PREVENTIVE PRODUCT FOR KEY CROPS:
Crop | Dose/Hectare | Methiod of the application |
Grapes and fruit trees | 5-8 - Lt 3 applications | Middle of March after first applictaion with 15 days After harvest |
Strawberry “nursery” | 5-8 Lt 2 applications | Transplanting after first applictaion with 15 days After harvest |
Strwaberry | 5-8 Lt 2 applications | Transplanting after first applictaion with 15 days After harvest |
Vegatbles | 5-8 Lt 2 applications | Transplanting after first applictaion with 15 days After harvest |
Melon & Water melon | 5-8 Lt 2 applications | Transplanting Wihtin timing of scalin fruits |
Banana | 12 Lt 6 Lt | at beggnning of March after first applictaion with 15 days Keep on applying each 45 days according the damage level |
NEMA-DEAD’s RECOMMENDED DOSES AS CURATIVE PRODUCT FOR KEY CROPS:
Upon discovering any damage symptoms of Nematodes, apply 6-8 liter per hectare for one application, followed with soil analyses and second application after 15 days by 6-8 liter/ha and continue application every two weeks regularly until harvest “in case you don’t have soil analysis every two weeks”.
