    World agricultural nets Chinese news report: Recently, the German multinational BASF announced in Brazil launched its first bio- nematicide, trade name Votivo Prime, based on strong Bacillus help promote root growth, and to minimize Stress of rice , soybean , corn , wheat and cotton
    .
     
    This product focuses on seed treatment for nematode control.
    It has been developed for at least ten years and tested in 413 comparative test areas in different regions of Brazil
    .
    In the 2020-2021 production year, the use of Votivo Prime will increase the yield of soybeans by 3.
    8 bags per hectare
    .

     
    "After the seeds treated with this product are sown, when the first few leaves and roots begin to form, the bacteria also reproduce by releasing auxins that induce rooting, and then form a protective biofilm on the roots
    .
    These beneficial bacteria block them.
    Nematodes connect with the roots and cause them to die
    .
    In addition, the substances they produce can also reduce the number of eggs,” explains Sérgio Abud, researcher and technical director of Embrapa Cerrados and member of the Brazilian Soybean Strategy Board (CESB)
    .
     
    According to BASF, the product is compatible with chemical pesticides and other biological pesticides
    .
    It can also be used in dual crop systems: soybeans and corn to reduce the number of nematodes throughout the planting season
    .
    The product is also suitable for rice, peanuts and other crops
    .
     
      Henrique Feijó added: “At 25 days after soybean emergence, growers can see the difference between plots with or without biological nematicides
    .
    ” According to him, the solution will be marketed in this production year and will be compared with Brazil.
    Use the seeds that the dealer has already obtained
    .

     
      Nematodes are one of the main problems faced in soybean planting, and can even affect the entire production of crops
    .
    The main nematodes that affect the crop include galls (Meloidogyne spp.
    ), cysts (Heterodera glycines), root rot nematodes (Pratylenchus brachyurus) and kidney nematodes (Rotylenchulus reniformis)
    .
    In addition to direct damage to soybean plants, damage caused to plant roots is also a channel for other parasites that spread diseases, and these diseases can also affect productivity
    .
     
      Abud explained: “There are many factors that limit productivity, such as pests, diseases, weeds, nematodes and other factors that stress crops
    .

     
      In his view, one of the ways to ensure a good start is seed treatment
    .
    At this stage, elements that promote the growth of plants and roots have been added
    .
    "Seed treatment plays a role in the initial control of soil pests and is the first stage of the grower's decision-making," he concluded
