Nematode Soil Thermometer

This nematode thermometer is designed to measure soil temperature accurately at planting depth, helping you apply and manage beneficial nematodes at the right time. It allows gardeners to check whether soil conditions are suitable before treatment, reducing guesswork and improving nematode performance in borders, lawns, raised beds, and greenhouse growing areas.

By providing fast, direct soil readings, this thermometer supports better timing for nematode use, particularly where temperature-sensitive biological control is required.

How the Nematode Thermometer Supports Nematode Application

Measures Soil Temperature at Root Level

The long probe reaches deep into the soil to record temperature where nematodes are active, rather than just surface conditions. This helps confirm whether the soil is warm enough for nematodes to survive and move effectively.

Helps Avoid Ineffective Treatments

Applying nematodes to soil that is too cold can reduce results. This thermometer helps you delay application until temperatures fall within a suitable range, improving reliability and reducing wasted treatments.

Designed for Practical Garden and Greenhouse Use

Clear Dial for Quick Readings

The large analogue dial displays temperature clearly without batteries, making it suitable for outdoor use in all seasons. Readings stabilise quickly once inserted, allowing repeated checks across different areas of the garden.

Where to Use the Nematode Thermometer

Suitable for Multiple Growing Areas

• Lawns before nematode lawn pest treatment
• Vegetable beds and borders
• Raised beds and planters
• Greenhouse soil and compost
• Areas prepared for biological pest control

This makes the thermometer a practical tool for gardeners using nematodes as part of regular pest management.

Why Accurate Soil Temperature Matters for Nematodes

Nematodes rely on suitable soil temperatures to remain active and effective. This nematode thermometer provides a simple way to check conditions before application, helping ensure treatments are carried out when nematodes are most likely to work as intended.
