Protect Fruiting Vegetables With a Proven Nematicide You Can Count On

With almost 15 billion habitable land acres on Earth, has it sometimes seemed all the world’s plant-parasitic nematodes are attacking your farm’s fruiting vegetables? The galling damage these microscopic roundworms cause when feeding on roots steal a plant’s ability to take up water and soil nutrients critical to the ability to thrive, yield and produce healthy, more marketable fruiting vegetables.¹

Any nematicide used to manage plant-parasitic nematodes should not only provide good control but also be compatible with beneficial soil fungi and soil bacteria and contribute to overall good soil health.

“Healthy soil is important to growing healthy crops,” says Sunil Tewari, North American biology leader for insecticides, nematicides and bionematicides for Corteva Agriscience. “Salibro nematicide Reklemel active, is highly compatible with soil health preservation because it does not impact nontarget and beneficial organisms, including bacteria, fungi and free-living nematodes.”

Plant-parasitic nematodes rely on the presence of water to move around the soil and to prevent them from collapsing internally. With various weather patterns moving in and out of growing regions, controlling nematodes requires a product, such as Salibro nematicide, with extended residual impact.

A novel, true nonfumigant nematicide that causes total paralysis of targeted nematodes for optimum control, Salibro nematicide quickly inhibits the ability of plant-parasitic nematodes to damage root systems of high-value fruiting vegetable crops. The first sulfonamide nematicide, Salibro nematicide offers a new mode of action that fits perfectly into any effective resistance management program. It also has a more favorable environmental profile than other products currently on the market.

Because of the ability to selectively target plant-parasitic nematodes, of lower use rates than older nematicides and of highly favorable environmental and toxicological profile, compared with alternatives, Reklemel active received a Reduced Risk designation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Because it is not a fumigant, Salibro nematicide is easier and safer for growers to apply. It has excellent soil mobility and stays in the root zone for extended residual protection from targeted nematodes.

Fruit and vegetable growers who follow a complete control program approach to the production of high-value fruiting vegetable crops will find that control of Salibro nematicide fits well into that system. It can be applied at planting or in season.

Salibro nematicide with Reklemel active is registered for use in fruiting vegetable crops grown in open-field or cover crop situations.
