Our product, Pherocoat™, acts as a repellent by telling plant-parasitic nematodes the host plant is already infected. Immediate target nematodes are sedentary nematodes including root-knot nematodes which are generalists and attack many crops.

One October, when Dr. Kaplan was visiting her hometown in Northwestern Turkey, she was surprised to discover many brown marmorated stink bugs. This wasn't the norm as usually October was too cold for insects.
