Sustainable nematicide offers season-long control
Majestene® (Burkholderia spp. strain A396) offers growers an effective choice in a dwindling selection of nematode management tools. It is a powerful – yet worker-friendly and tolerance exempt – species-selective bionematicide with activity against eggs, juveniles and adult lesion, root knot, dagger, stunt, reniform and soybean cyst nematodes. Majestene protects the plant from yield-robbing nematodes; thereby, promoting stronger, healthier roots and more robust yields.
Majestene is a liquid nematicide that can be applied pre-plant, at planting and in-season for season-long reduction of nematode populations and galling in potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, cucurbits, corn and onions. Growers have seen notable success in using Majestene on potato and onion acres in the Pacific Northwest, and several specialty crops in Florida and Georgia.
