DESCRIPTION
Katyayani Soil Prime (Fluopyram 34.48 % w/w SC) Nematicide Details ;
- Technical Name: Fluopyram 34.48% SC
- Description: Katyayani Soil Prime (Fluopyram 34.48% SC) is a highly effective systemic nematicide developed to control Root-knot nematodes in crops like tomato. It works at the root level to reduce nematode infestation, offering long-lasting protection and promoting improved crop health, yield, and quality.
- Target Pest: Root-knot nematodes
- Target Crop: Tomato
- Mode of Action: Fluopyram interferes with the mitochondrial respiratory chain (Complex II) in nematodes, disrupting their energy production. This results in nematode paralysis and death, ensuring complete and effective control.
Dosage:
- 625 ml for two applications
- 1250 ml for a single application
- Dilute in 1000 litres of water
Application Methods:
Key Benefits:
- Provides residual control against nematodes
- Encourages healthy root development and nutrient absorption
- Effective even at low dosages
- Suitable for both pre-planting and post-transplanting applications
FAQs for the product of Katyayani Soil Prime Fluopyram 34.48% SC Nematicide.
1. What is this product and what pests does it control?
Ans. This is a systemic nematicide formulation containing fluopyram 34.48% SC, designed to control plant-parasitic nematodes — especially root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) that damage roots and reduce crop yield. It targets the nematodes in the soil and around the root zone.
2. How does fluopyram work against nematodes?
Ans. Fluopyram inhibits Complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in nematodes. This blocks energy production, rendering nematodes immobile and ultimately leading to their death, protecting plant roots from damage.
3. Which crops is this product commonly used on?
Ans. It’s primarily used on tomatoes for root-knot nematode control. However, products with the same active ingredient are also effectively used on other crops like cucumber, potato or carrots (following label recommendations).
4. What is the recommended dosage and method of application?
Ans. Typical use (based on available guidance for fluopyram SC nematicides):
- 625 ml/1000 L water applied twice
- or 1250 ml/1000 L water as a single application
- Apply through drip irrigation or soil drenching around the root zone for best results. Always follow label instructions for your specific crop and field conditions.
5. When should I apply this nematicide?
Ans. It can be applied as a pre-plant soil treatment or after transplanting when nematode problems are expected. Early application helps protect roots before heavy damage occurs.
6. Why is it important to control nematodes?
Ans. Nematodes feed on plant roots, causing knots or galls. This reduces water and nutrient uptake, leading to poor plant growth, wilting, and lower yields. Controlling them improves root health and overall crop productivity. (General agricultural knowledge supported by product context)
