Maintaining a Healthy Balance for Good Soil

The soil we walk on has been in the making for thousands of years. Fertile soils rely on a balanced community of fungi, bacteria, earthworms and many other living organisms, each playing a role. Reklemel™ active is a first-of-its-kind, selective nematicide that targets plant-parasitic nematodes that harm crops, yet is gentle on many beneficial organisms in the soil – including good nematodes that stimulate healthy soil activities. This allows farmers to effectively protect their crops from damaging nematodes while protecting one of our most precious resources.

Selectivity in Nematode Control

Many of the broad-spectrum nematicides used to control plant-parasitic nematodes can’t distinguish between the “good” and “bad” organisms in the soil. So the soil is at risk of losing parts of its life, becoming poorer and losing the capacity to rely on natural processes that keep crops growing. In a balanced soil environment, beneficial organisms can do what they do best, naturally fighting off diseases and pests, improving soil structure and contributing to the soil nutrient cycle. When soil is more naturally balanced and resilient, it not only produces better crops, but, over time, might also lower the need for artificial inputs. The selectivity of Reklemel™ active represents a new generation of crop protection products from Corteva Agriscience that work with nature and help sustain it.

Perserving Soil Health While Protecting Crops Against Nematodes

Farmers around the world recognize the value of the soil they farm and are working to protect it.

The best case would be to manage the soil in a way that restoration won’t be necessary at all. We’re not there yet, but Reklemel™ active is one new solution that helps farmers produce a high-quality, abundant harvest today and help support their soil health for the future.
