Victor, New York (September 20, 2010) - BioWorks, Inc. has added another product to their consumer e-commerce website. NemaShield beneficial nematodes provide biological control for fungus gnats and western flower thrips in potted greenhouse crops, propagation and in interiorscape situations.

After application, NemaShield nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) actively seek out insect pest larvae or pupae. One container of NemaShield has 100 million nematodes which prevent fungus gnat outbreaks, or the beginning phase of an outbreak. They are also effective in a western flower thrips control program to help disrupt the portion of the life cycle that occurs in the growing medium, which will decrease the adult population. This helps ensure your plants have the most vigorous root system possible.

NemaShield is a safe product, exempt from EPA registration since nematodes are naturally occurring. It is safe and easy to use on all plants at any growth stage and can be purchased online at www.growninmyownbackyard.com along with these other products to control plant diseases and insects: RootShield Home & Garden, BotaniGard 22WP and MilStop.
