Velum Prime contains fluopyram (a pyridinyl-ethyl-benzamide) recommended for control of nematodes in carrot and potato (ware, seed and salad crops).

Velum prime is a revolutionary Nematicide that offers long lasting protection against Root Knot nematodes. Nematodes attack the roots of host crop and multiplies very fast in favourable conditions resulting into formation of big knots on the roots. Amongst all nematodes seen in India, root knot nematode is most prominently seen and causes substantial economic losses to the farmers.

Technical Content: Fluopyrum 34.48% SC

Mode of Action: The active ingredient fluopyrum selectively inhibits Complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain of nematodes. Following application of Velum prime, nematodes cannot generate energy to sustain hence initially take on the shape of a needle, becomes immobile and eventually dies.

Recommendations: It is an effective tool for the control of root knot nematodes in carrots and potatoes.

Doage: 250 to 300 ml/acre
