Majestene® Bionematicide Offers Season-long Nematode Control

Majestene Nematicide offers growers an effective choice in a dwindling selection of nematode control management tools. It is a powerful – yet worker-friendly and tolerance exempt – species-selective bionematicide with activity against eggs, juveniles and adult lesion, root knot, dagger, stunt, reniform and soybean cyst nematodes. Majestene protects the plant from yield-robbing nematodes; thereby, promoting stronger, healthier roots and more robust yields.

Nematodes in the soil

– They stop moving within 24 hours after treatment with Majestene

– Nematodes die 48-72 hours after treatment

When Majestene is in contact with plant roots

– It repulses most nematodes

– If some nematodes get into the roots, they can’t complete their life cycle and they die. There are no new gals formed.

Majestene is systemic and remains in the roots.
