Beck’s introduces NEMASECT™, a revolutionary nematicide and insecticide that will come standard as part of their Escalate™ seed treatment on corn and soybeans at no additional charge. With multiple modes of action against all nematode species and activity on many soil-dwelling insects, NEMASECT is a powerful tool to protect yield in corn and soybeans.
As a broad-spectrum nematicide, NEMASECT kills nematodes within 24 to 48 hours and impacts nematode populations up to 60 days. NEMASECT has a multi-site mode of action against eggs and juveniles that can lower the risk of developing resistance. In addition, NEMASECT provides dual modes of activity on soil-dwelling insects such as corn rootworm, seed corn maggot, grubs, and wireworms.
“Nematodes are undetectable by the human eye, which makes it easy to underestimate the damage they can cause to a corn or soybean plant,” said Scott Beck, president of Beck’s. “What makes NEMASECT truly different is that it’s not just a nematicide, it also has activity on many soil-dwelling insects. By adding NEMASECT to our Escalate seed treatment, farmers will have the best possible protection for their seed at no additional charge.”
