SOIL MICRO-ORGANISMS

Nemathorin 10G is of low risk to soil micro-organisms. No risk management is necessary in order to prevent risks to the processes of soil respiration and nitrogen turnover.

NON-TARGET PLANTS
Nemathorin 10G is used as a nematicide and is incorporated into the soil following application. Consequently, it is considered to have negligible activity to plants. If used as recommended, Nemathorin 10G should present no adverse effects on field margin plants.
