Each year, farmers suffer significant money losses from nematodes, tiny crop enemies that damages crops. Nematodes are difficult to spot, and there are no good solutions. To solve this issue, Bayer has developed India’s first nematode treatment─ Velum Prime. Velum Prime contains fluopyram, an effective nematicide that protects fields against nematode damage and maximises crop yields.

How it works?

Velum Prime works as a strong and long-lasting nematicide effective against the major damaging nematode species, especially meloidogyne sp. and radopholus sp. The active ingredient of Velum Prime, fluopyram, belongs to the pyridinyl ethyl benzamide chemical class.

Notably, fluopyram requires a low application rate, and its high intrinsic activity helps reduce the crop protection chemical load without compromising efficacy.

Mode of action

The active ingredient of Vellum Prime, fluopyram, selectively inhibits complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain of nematodes. This inhibition targets the essential powerhouse of nematode cells, the mitochondria, leading to a rapid and severe depletion of cellular energy (ATP).

After applying Velum Prime, the nematode becomes brittle and immobile. The first symptoms of treatment occur about 30 minutes after the application.
