About Product:

Soil Prime is a highly effective nematicide formulated with Fluopyram 34.48% SC, specially designed to control Root-knot nematodes in vegetable crops. It provides long-lasting protection by targeting nematodes at the root zone, reducing infestation levels and improving root health, nutrient uptake, and overall crop yield. Soil Prime can be applied through Soil drenching or drip irrigation and is suitable for both pre-planting and post-transplanting applications.

Technical Details

Technical Name: Fluopyram 34.48% SC
Formulation Type: Suspension Concentrate (SC)

Mode of Action:

Fluopyram acts on the mitochondrial respiratory chain of nematodes by inhibiting energy production. It blocks the respiration process, causing paralysis and eventual death of nematodes, ensuring effective root-zone protection.

Targeted Pest

Root-knot nematode

Recommended Crops

Tomato, cucumber and other crops

Key Features & Benefits:

Effective control of Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita)
The systemic movement of Fluopyram within the plant ensures deep root-zone protection and sustained nematode control.
Its targeted action at the cellular level disrupts nematode metabolism, preventing further reproduction and infestation.
Rapid uptake through roots provides quick suppression of nematode activity after application.
Compatible with drip irrigation systems for precise and efficient root-zone delivery.

Dosage:

Crop	Pest	Formulation (ml/acre)	Dilution (liters/acre)
Tomato	Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita)	253 ml (2 applications) / 506 ml (Single application)	405 liters
Cucumber	Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita)	253 ml (2 applications) / 506 ml (Single application)	405 liters

Application Method: Soil drenching / drip irrigation

Note : Always use the recommended dose according to the specified water quantity. For further guidance and detailed recommendations, please consult an agronomist.
