Agrauxine by Lesaffre announces the launch of its new bio-nematicide Atroforce to the marketplace for use on soybeans, corn, cotton and potatoes as well as other cereal grains, brassicas, cucurbits and fiber type plants.

Atroforce is a broad spectrum bio-nematicide that reduces damage caused by nematodes including lesion, dagger, root know, reniform, spiral, lance and soybean cyst and minimizes egg laying reducing populations in the field. The Trichoderma fungi grow into and with the plant roots as they develop and induce systemic changes in plant physiology. The active ingredient in Atroforce is Trichoderma atroviride strain K5 and it can be applied as a seed treatment as well as in-furrow, drip or sub irrigation.

Atroforce is registered with the EPA as both a bio-nematicide and bio-fungicide and launch is expected in this first quarter of 2025.
