Vapozate 50% EC is a systemic nematicide formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, containing fosthiazate 50%. It is used to control root-knot nematodes, one of the most damaging pests of agricultural crops. It works directly in the soil within the root zone, killing nematodes and limiting their activity. This helps the plant recover normal growth and improves water and nutrient uptake, leading to stronger plants and higher yields.
