BIO CUT™ - Special Biostimulant Controls Nematodes in 10 mins!

Date:03-22-2024

Root-knot nematodes are highly specialized nematodes that infect a wide range of hosts, including vegetables, melons, beans, etc. Currently, the mainstream management of root-knot nematodes involves fumigation and in-furrow application of chemical pesticides. However, most of pesticides for nematodes control are non-selective biocides which will not only eradicate the nematodes, but also harm beneficial microorganisms and natural enemies, thus disrupting the ecological balance of the soil. When diseases recur, they often outbreak and spread more quickly, leading to more severe damage.

Nowadays, some growers choose biological solutions to control nematodes, but the effectiveness of such products can be easily weakened by environmental factors, and complex applications are often required to ensure their performance. Many growers have reported that results can be affected by the improper handling of the products during application. In addition, microorganic bio-solutions have shorter shelf life and many restrictions on storage conditions.

Chico’s technical team has always been committed to supporting sustainable agriculture and has prioritized the effectiveness and convenience of product application. Chico recently launched a metabolite-based biological product, BIO CUT™, which has a strong and rapid effect on soil root-knot nematodes control. Compared to traditional chemical pesticides, it is eco-friendly with no preharvest interval and no resistance development. Furthermore, it does not damage the root systems of crop seedlings. BIO CUT™ is more stable during transportation and storage compared to alive microbial products, making it widely suitable for crop production.

Unique mode of action

BIO CUT™ contains functional biostimulants -- a variety of highly active extracellular enzymes and microbial secondary metabolites, which were produced from specifically selected and cultivated Bacillus species. It interferes with the metabolism of nematodes, rapidly dissolving their eggshells and body walls, and leading to their rapid death in the soil.

″Nematode infestation causes significant economic losses to crop production, and most management strategies still rely on chemical pesticides. However, with the restriction and prohibition of certain organophosphate-based chemical nematicides, the risk of resistance to mainstream products available in the market is becoming serious, and growers have limited control methods at their disposal. Therefore, there is a significant and pressing market demand for new alternatives,″ said John, Technical Marketing Specialist at Chico Crop Disease Solutions. 

″We have conducted product trials in various markets recently, and received positive feedback on field trial results from customers in many regions,″ he added.
