Soil Technologies Corp. has released Armorex, a new biochemical soil treatment to kill and control pathogenic nematodes, insects and fungus. The product is an E.P.A. exempt minimum-risk pesticide and has no re-entry restriction. According to the company, tests on nematode infested turf during 2005 showed that Armorex is an effective control. Where Armorex was applied, the nematode damage stopped within 2-3 days and later nematode assays showed zero live nematodes.
It is a blend of essential plant oils that includes sesame, which is highly toxic to nematodes. In addition to sesame oils, Armorex contains extracts of rosemary, clove, garlic, and pepper, all of which are effective nematode suppressants. Armorex is used as a preventative or curative treatment for both endo-and ecto-parasitic nematode species. The label includes soil treatment uses on turf and ornamentals, vegetables, fruits, vineyards, nuts, nursery and greenhouse crops.
