The Strain (251)
• first isolated from an egg mass of Meloidogyne incognita• 1980 in the Philippines (University of Los Baños)• deposited with the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories (AGAL) under the Accession No. 89/030550
• patented in: - The Philippines- The USA- Japan- Italy- Spain- France- Germany- the UK
• originally registered in the Philippines in 1989• Prophyta overtook the strain in 2001

Mode of Action
Paecilomyces lilacinus attackes:
• the eggs of plant parasitic nematodes
• the vermiform stages of plant parasitic nematodes

Conclusions
• BioAct is an effective and user friendly nematicide. It neither endangers the applicator northe environment.
• It has to be applied with water.
• A WP formulation has been developed with a highconcentration of the active ingredient, which canbe used at extremely low rates.
