Description
A new pest control solution designed for preventative control of fungus gnat larvae and other soil-dwelling pests. This innovative formulation contains nematodes encapsulated within an organic, biodegradable, residue-free coating that release nematodes gradually into the growing media, providing long-term control.
-
Novel formulation: Encapsulated in pearl-like, biodegradable capsules for controlled release
-
Preventative control: Effective against fungus gnat and thrips larvae and some other soil pests
-
Extended storage life: Maintained for more than 8 weeks.
-
Environmentally friendly: Made from organic, food-grade materials with zero microplastics, meaning it dissolves without residues.
-
Water-efficient: Uses significantly less water than traditional nematode applications
Formulation
Capsule structure: The capsule is made up of a liquid core containing active nematodes which are surrounded by an alginate coating. This shell maintains the internal moisture of the capsule which ensures nematode survivability.
Slow release: The coating gradually becomes permeable after approximately one-week post-application, allowing the nematodes to migrate into the surrounding soil and actively seek out the pests.
Extended action: Slow release of nematode into the soil allows for almost double the duration of control compared to traditional nematode applications.
How to apply
Insert capsules into the planting hole after sowing. Capsules can be applied using fertiliser dosing equipment on a potting machine.
Rate: One package of 200 capsules is enough for 20 pots with 12cm diameter or 8 pots with 20 cm diameter. The product can be kept in the fridge, check the pack for use by date.

Be a smarter gardener
Gardening organically is a more affordable and long term alternative to using chemical fertilisers. Natural Grower products eliminate waste because the nutrients are slowly released to the plants as they need them. Over the long-term you save money because your soil health naturally improves, which in turn produces healthier, stronger, disease resistant plants. Chemical products may cost less financially in the short term, but they don’t provide any long-term benefits and the damage they do to the natural eco-system in the soil is costly.
Slow release for sustained growth
Organic fertilisers are broken down slowly by organisms in the soil to produce a more measured, consistent, natural release of nutrients. This results in uniform growth with strong stems and leaves, unlike chemical fertilisers which provide a sudden boost resulting in tall lanky plants. Stronger plants are more resistant to disease, and with the presence of mycorrizhal fungi to strengthen the roots, the plants, soil and fungi all work together long-term to create the perfect natural eco-system.
Love your land
The organic matter in Natural Grower will help keep your soil or compost in optimum condition, retain moisture over the dry summer months and improve the health and structure of your soil. The presence of natural Mycorrhizal fungi in our products enhances root growth, enabling plants to extract nutrients and absorb water more efficiently from the soil or compost. By using our products you will be supporting and enhancing the natural eco-system in the soil.
Embrace sustainability
Natural Grower’s chemical free fertiliser products are approved organic, biodynamic and vegan. Plant-based and free from chemicals they are safe to use around wildlife, pets and children. Eco-friendly and sustainably produced in the UK. Our packaging is made from recycled plastic where possible and is all 100% recyclable. We are always happy to refill used containers, and often sell our products in reused containers or slightly damaged packaging at a reduced price. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
