Velum Prime 400 SC is a unique, advanced nematicide that works directly in the root zone to control harmful nematodes that attack plants and cause weak growth, poor nutrient uptake and lower yields. It contains the active ingredient fluopyram 400 g/L, which spreads around the roots, stops nematode movement and prevents their reproduction in the soil. It also acts against some soil-borne fungal diseases, helping to improve plant growth, root strength and crop quality. It is used on field crops, vegetables, fruit trees, date palms and in greenhouses, and is one of the strongest options for preventing and treating soil problems.
