High moisture levels in soils, media and around pots enhances the development of fungus gnats and other pests. If untreated, fungus gnats will feed on the beneficial material in the soil. If a fungal food source is not available, fungus gnats may feed directly on plants and inhibit the plant from rooting. This may also damage the root zone as they feed on seedlings and potted plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn many healthy stemmed plants, larvae may tunnel into stems and cause plants to wilt and die. Larval feeding on roots may increase the development of root and stem rots such as Pythium. When this occurs, plants will be stunted with reduced growth. Also, pests droppings on plants may carry other diseases. Root Cleaner Soil Drench can be used on soil, coco and container gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e---------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eMode of Action\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome nematodes are beneficial to plant growth, but others are detrimental.
