This natural technology is based on yeast cells that are a by-product of numerous commercial production processes. The capsules are microspheres characterized by a protein, lipid and polysaccharide fraction that constitute a porous structure. In the formulation phase, they incorporate two active terpenes — thymol and geraniol — inside the capsules.
The innovative system promotes suspensibility without using emulsion solvents. Once applied to the soil, the capsules provide modulated and gradual release of the terpenes through their microporous walls.

An in vitro test demonstrated the lethal effect of Cedroz on root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne). Watch the video to find out more.
Cedroz gets to the root of the problem. As a sustainable soil care solution, Cedroz combats root-knot nematodes, promoting crop quantity and quality without leaving any residue behind.
