Soil sampling is the first step toward effective control of plant-parasitic nematodes. These underground, microscopic worms, especially root-knot species, develop and feed on the root systems of young fruiting vegetables. Their feeding leaves visible galls on roots, which disrupt the plant’s ability to efficiently take up water and essential nutrients needed for healthy plant development.
A single acre of ground can harbor several hundred million nematodes. Because nematodes reproduce quickly, making control applications early in the cropping cycle is critical to protecting developing roots.
Fruiting vegetable growers can now put a nematicide with a new mode of action in their nematode control toolbox, offering a more favorable environmental profile than other products on the market today – Salibro® CA nematicide with Reklemel® active. Salibro CA is a true nematicide that selectively controls plant-parasitic nematodes and does not negatively impact free-living, or beneficial, nematodes, which play an important role in maintaining soil health.
Salibro CA nematicide is in a unique chemical group, making it a strong tool for resistance management and helping prolong the efficacy of all nematicides. It offers excellent compatibility with soil health, including with beneficial nematodes, soil fungi and soil bacteria. Let Salibro CA nematicide protect the roots of tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables for increased yield potential and more marketable crops at harvest.
