Bayer’s biological nematicide BioAct Prime DC has been granted regulatory approval in Greece. The market launch in Greece is scheduled for 2017, with other European countries to follow as a measure to further strengthen the company’s crop protection portfolio in this important region.
“To secure their harvests and increase food production in a sustainable matter, European farmers need modern technologies such as innovative crop protection products,” said Klaus Koetting, Head of Fruits & Vegetables and Insecticides at Crop Science, a division of Bayer. “Our biological nematicide BioAct Prime will contribute substantially to improved Integrated Pest Management programs.”
BioAct Prime DC，基于有益真菌 淡紫色拟青霉 （代名词 淡紫色紫罗兰 菌株 251），控制植物寄生线虫，包括根结线虫（根结线虫 菌种.), 穴居线虫 (刺穿线虫), 胞囊线虫 (球囊属 spp.) 和根部病变线虫 (短尾线虫 种）。 BioAct 通过在有害线虫侵袭根部之前将其卵和幼虫作为目标来保护植物，从而帮助农民提高产量和农场盈利能力。这种新型杀线虫剂可用于多种水果和蔬菜作物，如西红柿、黄瓜、芦笋、鳄梨、豆类、西兰花、胡萝卜、秋葵、洋葱和草莓，以及柑橘、坚果和葡萄。其他应用领域包括烟草、幼苗和苗圃。
“In an integrated pest management program with Velum Prime, farmers will have a new choice for effective nematode control,” Klaus Koetting added. “This innovative combination enhances root health and helps farmers establish strong plant growth for higher yields and better harvests.” This combination of products also offers farmers the benefit of nematode control while lowering their dependency on older and considerably less environmentally friendly products.
