AgroPages-CHICO BIO CUT™ – Exclusive biological solution for nematode control with faster action, higher safety and efficacy-Agricultural news

Nematodes are highly adaptable organisms with strong reproductive capabilities, posing a significant threat to a wide range of crops, including cash crops, vegetables, fruit trees. With microscopic size, they are difficult to be observed by naked eye in the early stages of crop infection.

In recent years, growing environmental concerns and residue issues have led to increasing restrictions on the use of chemical nematicides, which resulted in more and more growers turned to focus on biological control methods, such as using living microbial products to manage nematodes.

However, many growers have reported that microbial products possess restrictions on both efficacy and storage stability while compared to traditional chemical nematicides, which is stem primarily from the fact that microbial products require specific climatic and soil conditions for optimal performance, coupled with complex storage requirements to preserve their viability. Consequently, nematode management is still a critical challenge for growers globally.

Launched by CHICO, BIO CUT^TM harnesses metabolites from patented strains for consistent and effective nematode control

BIO CUT^TM contains a range of highly active extracellular enzymes and microbial secondary metabolites which secreted by selectively cultured Bacillus strains. By disrupting the normal physiological processes of nematodes and rapidly dissolving their eggshells and cuticles, BIO CUT^TM can effectively lead to the rapid death of nematodes.

BIO CUT^TM is free from living microbial, ensuring stable quality, efficient efficacy, and rapid action. With a shelf life of up to two years, it offers convenient storage and transportation.

BIO CUT^TM – developed specially for the key control periods of nematodes, effective against both larvae and eggs

Nematodes can achieve rapid reproduction; therefore, it is important to take control measures at the optimal time.

In the field, nematode eggs or females overwinter in the soil. As the temperature warms up, the nematodes further develop into the second-instar larvae stage, invade the roots from the soil, and grow in the roots to produce egg cysts. When the cysts rupture, the eggs are released back into the soil, completing the growth cycle.

The infection period of the second-instar nematodes is very short - only 1 ~ 5 days!
Nematodes complete a reproductive cycle - only 20 ~ 30 days!
Nematodes can survive in the soil without host plants - up to 3 years!

The developmental window between the egg stage and second-instar larvae represents the most critical period for nematode control, occurring before these pests invade the cropping systems. This timing is strategically vital for two reasons: it prevents widespread crop damage, and it targets nematodes during their most vulnerable growth stage.

BIO CUT^TM is specifically developed to target this critical period. Its contact action quickly eliminates nematodes from eggs to second-instar larvae in the soil, effectively preventing root invasion by nematodes. This targeted approach makes BIO CUT^TM an ideal solution for early-stage nematode control.

BIO CUT^TM is safe and suitable for various crops without phytotoxicity

As a purely biological nematode control solution, BIO CUT^TM is proven to have superior safety in two key aspects:

BIO CUT^TM is free of phytotoxicity to seedlings, making it highly suitable for use during the sensitive seedling stage for early prevention and better nematode control.
BIO CUT^TM leaves no harmful residues and requires no safety interval, making it ideal for organic farming

BIO CUT^TM is suitable for various crops, including vegetables, fruit trees, and others
