- How It Works
The active ingredient of MeloCon®WG is the spore of a naturally occurring fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251, that is a highly effective parasite of all stages of development of common plant–parasitic nematodes. Eggs and juveniles are particularly susceptible. Once MeloCon is applied to the soil, spores of the fungus adhere to the bodies of nematodes as they move through the soil. The spores germinate and penetrate the nematodes, killing them by feeding on the nematodes’ body contents. Each gram of MeloCon WG contains at least 10 billion spores of the PL251 fungus formulated on a water-soluble carrier for easy mixing and application. The growing fungus engulfs and
penetrates the nematode over a period of several days, killing it by consuming its body contents.- How To Apply
MeloCon WG is mixed with water and applied to nematode infested soil either as a soil drench, in-furrow, in transplant water or banded applications, or through a drip (trickle) or sprinkler (microjet) irrigation systems.
- Direction For Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Read the entire label before using.
- Agricultural Use Requirement
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with theWorker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170.This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval.The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 4 hours.
Exception: If the product is soil incorporated or soil injected, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated. PPE required for early entry to treated areas (that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water) is:
- Coveralls
- Waterproof gloves
- Shoes plus socks
- Nonagricultural Use Requirement
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses. Keep unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays have dried.

Personol Protective Equipment
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Waterproof gloves
• Shoes plus socks
Mixers/loaders and applicators must wear a dust/mist filtering respirator meeting NIOSH standards of at least N-95, R-95 or P-95. Repeated exposure to high
concentrations of microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately
from other laundry.
Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-5)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and other
handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment breakdown.Users should:
- Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
- Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing
Storage & Handling
- Storage
MeloCon WG is stored frozen by Certis USA and at distributor locations in order to ensure high spore viability and optimal infectivity to target nematode species upon application in the field. If necessary, MeloCon WG can be refrigerated (40°F or below) for up to 6 months or stored frozen for up to 12 months.
- Storage And Disposal
Pesticide Disposal
To avoid wastes, use all material in this container by application according to label directions. If wastes cannot be avoided, offer remaining product to a waste disposal facility or pesticide disposal program (often such programs are run by state or local governments or by industry).
Container Handling
Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Completely empty bag into application equipment.Then offer for recycling if available or dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by incineration. Do not burn, unless allowed by state and local ordinances. If burned, stay out of smoke. If outer box is contaminated, dispose of it in the same manner as required for the bag.
