    World Agrochemical Network Chinese reports: Corteva recently announced the launch of Lumialzam in Brazil, the company's first bionematicide
    for seed treatment in Brazil.
     
    According to Cordeeva, Lumialzam products focus on soybeans and corn, bionematicides that control major nematodes and provide "protection of production potential," helping to "promote soil health and restore soil in a sustainable way.
    "
    Lumialza contains Bacillus amyllyticus bacteria (strain PTA-4838), a naturally occurring organism that colonizes crop roots to form a biological barrier
    against a variety of harmful nematodes.
     
    According to the Brazilian Nematode Society, soybeans could suffer more than 50 percent of losses due to nematodes, losing about BRL 16 billion ($3.
    1 billion) per year, while corn loses up to 35 percent
    .
    This bionematicide is suitable for the control of Meloidogyne incognita, Heterodera glycines, and Pratylenchus spp
    .
    Cortivar said the bionematicide "does not interrupt the activities of organisms that are beneficial to the soil, provides effective protection at the beginning of crop growth, and lasts for more than 80 days
    .
    " ″
     
    "Corteva is committed to bringing continuous innovation to the field, and Lumialza is another step in that direction," said
    Dante Queiroz, head of the company's seed treatment portfolio.
    According to him, the launch spans seed treatment and biologics, "which is very important
    for the company.
    " They help farmers manage nematodes, one of the top priorities for soybean and corn growers, who need to protect production and reap the return on their investment
    .
     
    The product also activates "the production of hormones in plants, promoting better development
    of roots and shoots.
    " In this way, plants absorb more water and nutrients and grow healthier and more vibrant
    .
    "Nematodes can survive under different environmental conditions and can lead to the occurrence of diseases, which further affect plants
    .
    "In addition to being an effective tool for nematode management strategies, Lumialza contributes to rapid crop germination and sustainable soil recovery, benefiting the future development of the field," concludes
    Cortiva.
