Let Us Handle The Nematodes So You Can Handle Everything Else.
TELONE™ II is the premiere preplant soil fumigant for managing the major species of nematodes that negatively impact a wide range of vegetables, including: root knot, lesion, ring, dagger, and sting nematodes. Nematodes are tiny parasites that can take a significant toll on your crops by stunting their growth, leading to reduced plant health, and ultimately, reduced yield. And because nematodes are so small, by the time you realize you have a problem, it’s already too late. Fortunately, there is something you can do about it!
By applying TELONE™ II before planting, you create a zone of protection for delicate developing root systems to thrive, leading to healthier plants and higher yields. A custom blend of TELONE™ II and chloropicrin can also help combat soil borne diseases like pink root, wire worms and Fusarium, for an effective all-in-one preplant solution. By significantly reducing nematode populations, TELONE™ becomes part of an effective long-term nematode management program.

Your TELONE ™ Specialist can help recommend an integrated pest management plan, with either TELONE™ II or a TELONE™ II /Chloropicrin blend. Pre-plant soil fumigation, in combination with soil sampling, crop rotation, and clean equipment, is your best bet for giving crops a fighting chance from the start. All formulations of TELONE™ can be applied to bare ground or under plastic, offering application ease and flexibility.

TELONE™ II immediately converts to a gas, then moves through the soil profile. TELONE™II is a “true” fumigant, meaning it moves through the soil on its own, without the need for moisture. TELONE™ provides unsurpassed control of all major crop-attacking nematodes. TELONE™ II helps growers battle certain diseases that enter roots via holes created by nematodes, creating a large zone of protection around the root zone. TELONE™ II is the industry standard for nematode control, and leads to better crops and higher yields.
