The nematodes (/ˈnɛmətoʊdz/) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish, and although over 25,000 have been described, of which more than half are parasitic, the total number of nematode species has been estimated to be about 1 million.

When ordering multiple deliveries, each delivery needs to be added to the basket before selecting your next date(we advise once every 6 weeks for slug nematodes) Nemaslug controls all common species of slug and provides protection for at least 6 weeks; a cost effective and organic way to keep the slugs at bay .

Slug nematodes are microscopic, transparent worms, which feed and multiply inside the slug. One application provides 300,000 nematodes in every square metre of soil, giving at least six weeks control. An infected slug stops feeding within 3 to 5 days and then displays a typical swelling of the mantle.

See also: Roundworms written for patients. Nematodes (roundworms) have elongated, bilaterally long cylindrical bodies which contain an intestinal system and a large body cavity. Parasitic nematodes vary in length from several millimetres to approximately 2 metres and have larval stages and adult worms of both sexes. Approximately 60 species of roundworms are parasites of humans.

Nematodes are roundworms of the Phylum Nematoda order. Most nematodes live in the soil in very large numbers and are best known as plant parasites that live in or on plant roots. However, studies are now revealing lesser-known, beneficial types of nematodes that help in pest control and the breakdown of organic matter.

1 In most gardens, there will be areas where. nematodes are severe and other areas where the. problem may be slight or nematodes may be absent. altogether.

Root-knot nematodes are. microscopic worms that live in soil. and feed on the roots of many common. garden crops (Figures 1 and 2). The. nematode gets its name because its. feeding causes galls (swellings or. “knots”) to form on the roots of infected.

Nematodes are slender worms: typically approximately 5 to 100 µm thick, and at least 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) but less than 2.5mm long. The smallest nematodes are microscopic, while free-living species can reach as much as 5 cm (2.0 in), and some parasitic species are larger still, reaching over a meter in length.
