Recently, Corteva announced that it has launched its new nematicide Salibro in India. This product uses trifluorimidamide as the main active ingredient, which can effectively control a variety of plant parasitic nematodes and ensure the healthy growth of Indian horticultural crops.
Plant-parasitic nematodes are soil microorganisms that are extremely difficult to identify and control and feed on the roots of horticultural crops such as peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplants, severely impacting farmers' productivity and profitability. The launch of Salibro has filled the gap in nematicides in India and is expected to win the favor of the majority of growers.
In addition, Salibro is environmentally safe and compatible with bacteria, fungus-eating nematodes, and beneficial soil macrofauna such as earthworms and soil mites, ensuring a balanced soil ecosystem.
Fluazaindolizine is a new sulfonamide (imidazopyrimidinamide) non-fumigable nematicide developed by DuPont (now Corteva) in 2015. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and high selectivity. It is mainly used in fruits and vegetables, tomatoes, fruit vegetables, gourds, potatoes, lawns, grapes, citrus, stone fruits, tobacco and field crops to control root-knot nematodes, short-body nematodes, cyst nematodes and other herbivorous nematodes. This molecule is currently classified by IRAC in the N-UN (unknown) mechanism of action (MoA) classification group. Its compound patent is CN102413693A, and the protection period is until May 2030.
