New Delhi: Corteva Agriscience, a global agricultural solution provider, today announced the launch of ‘Salibro’ nematicide in India. This innovative product, powered by Reklemel Active, provides farmers with a targeted and environmentally friendly solution to protect their crops from damaging nematodes while preserving soil health, the company said.
“Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic organisms found in soil that feed on the roots of horticultural crops such as capsicum, cucumber, tomato and brinjal. These nematodes are notoriously difficult to identify and control, they cause damage to the crops, affecting farmers’ productivity and profitability. With its unique formulation, Salibro delivers an effective kill of damaging nematodes while demonstrating high selectivity, sparing beneficial soil organisms essential for soil health. Moreover, Salibro is compatible with bacterial and fungal-feeding nematodes, as well as beneficial soil macrofauna, such as earthworms and soil mites, ensuring a balanced and thriving soil ecosystem.
