Raise Your Own Nematodes
As scientific sleuths, ARS researchers continually seek new natural methods to help farmers grow and maintain healthy crops.
ARS entomologists have developed a unique process that enables farmers to raise their own nematodes, a type of worm that can serve as an environmentally friendly biopesticide and offer a natural solution for insect pests. Nematodes are used to control a wide array of economically important insect pests such as fungus gnats, white grubs, thrips, citrus weevils, and pecan weevils. Learn more.
