Product Overview

Purpureocillium lilacinum for preventive nematode egg parasitism in the root zone

EnCilo™ is a Purpureocillium lilacinum wettable powder for biological suppression of plant-parasitic nematodes in the root zone. It is suited to basal and drip-based programs where egg parasitism and rhizosphere persistence are required.

Nematophagous Action

Nematophagous fungus for root-zone nematode suppression through targeted colonization of the rhizosphere.

water_drop

Egg Parasitism

Parasitizes eggs and reduces hatching in the soil profile, lowering nematode population carryover between seasons.

verified

Root-Zone Persistence

Establishes around roots and in the rhizosphere, best positioned preventively or at low to moderate nematode pressure.

EnCilo™ Line-Up

Formulation aligned with soil health and nematode management programs

EnCilo™ WP is suited for soil incorporation, furrow placement, root-zone drench, and drip-based nematode programs.

Key Features

compost

Egg Parasitism

Purpureocillium lilacinum parasitizes nematode eggs, females, and survival structures through enzymatic degradation using proteases and chitinases.

device_thermostat

Rhizosphere Persistence

Establishes and persists in the root zone, reducing egg viability and juvenile emergence over time for sustained nematode pressure reduction.

dataset_linked

Preventive Positioning

Best applied preventively or at low to moderate nematode pressure, integrating with botanical nematicides and organic fertilizers.
