The best time to apply nematodes is early morning or late afternoon , when temperatures are lower and the sun isn't shining too brightly. This is important because nematodes are sensitive to dryness and high temperatures. In direct sunlight, they can quickly dry out and lose their effectiveness.
Additionally, it's important to keep the soil moist for about two weeks after applying the nematodes. This helps the nematodes move effectively through the soil in search of their prey. Be careful not to overwater, as excessive moisture can also cause problems, but a constant, light dampness is ideal.
Also pay attention to the soil temperature . Nematodes work best at soil temperatures between 10°C and 25°C . At temperatures below 10°C, they are less active, while at higher temperatures, they dry out faster. So ensure the correct soil temperature for best results!
