DOES NOT HARM EARTHWORMS

COMPARABLE EFFICACY TO SYNTHETICS

LOW DOSE

DOES NOT CAUSE PHYTOTOXICITY

ZERO RESIDUES

0 RE-ENTRY AND POST-HARVEST PERIOD

Nematicide for use in organic production

FENDER is an nematicide for use in organic production to control soil nematodes on food and non-food crops. FENDER is made of natural oils and acts directly when in contact with the insect. FENDER is an effective product to enhance the action of pesticides and fertilizers when they are used in a mixture.

  • Highly effective & uses low rates & has equivalent activity and residual control to that of synthetic insecticides
  • Does not require PHI (Pe Harvest Interval) nor REI (Reentry Interval) periods

Mode and Mechanism of Action

Uses

Can be used to impact nematode populations affecting a broad variety of crops. Nematode populations it affects include sting nematodes, lesion nematodes, root-knot nematodes, rice nematodes, soybean cyst nematodes, lance nematodes, citrus nematodes, stubby root nematodes, needle nematodes, sheath nematodes, Northern root knot nematodes, Columbia root knot nematodes, Southern root knot nematodes, alfalfa stem nematodes, Pratylenchus spp., foliar nematodes, strawberry spider mites, Radopholus simillis, and others.

Use Rate

32 – 48oz/ac

FENDER releases chemical alleles that produce nematicidal effects and affect the behavior of nematodes, impairing their mobility and causing paralysis and mortality. These compounds are non-toxic in the rhizosphere.

Characteristics

  • Offers efficacy comparable to synthetic products.
  • Promotes the development of functional roots.
  • Does not harm the environment.
  • Does not affect beneficial fauna or pollinating bees.
  • Due to its favorable toxicological profile, it does not require EPA Federal registration in the USA.
  • Low dosage requirement.
  • Can be used in any crop for any nematode species, both in the soil and on foliage.
  • Controls soil pests such as symphylids, fungus gnats and wireworms.
  • Provides control over slugs and snails.
  • Does not affect the color, taste or odor of treated crops.
  • Paralysis: Within the first 12 hours, it immediately causes knockout effects in some cases. This symptom is an irreversible sign of death.
  • Death: Insects do not recover, leading to rapid mortality within 24 hours after application.

Monitoring

It is recommended to conduct evaluations 1 to 3 days after application.
