Eco-nemguard™ is a suspension concentrate containing 99% garlic extract (CLAIL 0021). Utilising OCP’s patented technology it has a stabilised and recognised DAS fingerprint. Eco-nemguard™ acts as a contact nematicide on nematodes living freely in the soil. It is registered for use in organic farming systems for the suppression of Endoparasitic (internal root feeders) and Ectoparasitic (external feeders)  nematodes (such as Trichodorus spp. Longidorus spp. Pratylenchus spp. Meloidogyne spp. Tylenchus spp. Xiphinema spp. Heterodera spp. Globodera spp) living freely in the soil and nematode damage to all vegetables and amenity turf.

The most effective strategy is to apply the product during the J1–J2 juvenile stages, when nematodes are still free-living in the soil, before they infect plant roots. Flushing the root zone with the liquid formulation at this stage delivers optimal control. The granular formulation, eco-nemguard® G, provides a slow-release source of polysulfides, complementing the liquid application by managing emerging nematode populations between treatments—especially beneficial in long-cycle crops or high-pressure soils.
