Temasterol
Natural Nematocide
Characteristics of Temasterol
<!--Temasterol dystructs eggs and larva of all nematode species.
<!--Temasterol hydrolyzes the chitin layer of nematode eggs and larva.
<!-- Temasterol inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis in nematode and prevents egg hatching.
<!-- Temasterol inhibits the nematode development in soil and plant roots.
<!--Temasterol is very effective against all pathogenic nematode especially root knot nematode (Meladogina spp.).
<!--Temasterol has a fungicidal effects against root rot fungi.
<!--Temasterol stimulates root growth and enhances root hair formation.
Composition of Temasterol:
Chitinase |
1,200,000 IU |
Saponine Glycoside |
12% |
B 1,3 Glucanase |
200,000 IU |
Flavenoids |
5 % |
Cytokinines like compounds |
200 ppm |
Turmaric acid |
5 % |
Namatocidal mode of action of Temasterol:
<!--Saponine inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis and prevents nematode egg hatchability and larva molting.
<!--Turmaric acids is a nematocidal active compounds against 1st and 2nd generations of nematode larva.
<!--Flavenoids prevent nematode penetrations into plant root tissues and induce plant resistance against nematode and fungi.
<!--Chitinase and b 1,3 glucanase hydrolyze chitin and dystruct the cell wall of nematode egg and larva.
<!--Cytokinine like compounds stimulate root growth and root hair formation.
Dosage and Application of Temasterol:
Temasterol is used through water of irrigation 5 liter/ 1 acer.
In case of higher level of nematode infection, Temasterol treatments has to be repeated after 10-15 days.
In condense cultivation such as vegetable and under green houses conditions), Temasterl used with water irrigation by 3-5 cm3/m2
