How bio crop protection product helps to control nematodes on potato fields

On the production level globally nematodes are one of the most destructive issues causing over 5% of the total crop loss and exceeding 10 billion USD in losses annually. For potato producers nematode harm is even more devastating, nematodes can decrease potato yields on average by 20%. Some species of nematodes, like pale cyst nematodes are able to cut potato yields by 50% or more without appropriate treatment!
                                                                                                                     
And it’s more than local, it is a global problem -  the main potato-producing countries Australia, USA, India, China, and Russia have had many waves of potato cyst nematode epidemics. As a result – decreasing yields and lower production of potatoes. For the global potato industry nematodes are costly burdens of production; they cause significant constraint on micro and macro levels, causing losses to farmers and a threat to global food security.

While usage of chemical crop protection products to control nematodes on potato are getting more contradictive for numerous reasons, farmers are turning to biological products because they are safe, efficient and economical to use.

GROPRO, Corp. a USA based producer and supplier of bio crop protection products has recently launched into the agricultural market with a quick and steady stream of products. GROPRO combines enthusiasm and knowledge, thinking with a deep comprehension of the real-world hurdles that growers and the agricultural industry are facing today.

One of GROPRO's flagship products is Vigilance Nematicide, the companies’ answer to farmers desire to get an effective and safe nematode control solution all while gaining higher yields and quality. Vigilance Nematicide not only protects roots but also gives no stress to the whole plant. Trials show that potato plants treated with Vigilance are visibly healthier above the ground and have no evidence of stress after treatments.

Vigilance Nematicide: proven effective in multiple Nematodes species, gives great results in all soil structures, tank compatible with fertilizers and other materials, safe on beneficial microbes and low stress to plants and cost-effective. Also, it is a good fumigation replacement option.
