Bayer Announces Seed Treatment
Bayer CropScience announced that it will launch a new biocontrol seed treatment in cotton, corn and soybeans in 2011. Select producers and seed companies will be able to test VOTiVO on their farms in 2010 for a firsthand look at its protective properties.
Product manager Paul Hewitt says the new seed treatment creates a living barrier around plant roots so nematodes have limited access to feed. The safe, stable formulation allows endospores of the bacteria to be applied directly to the seed. When that seed is planted, the endospores are activated and VOTiVO begins its work.
The product provides enough protection to withstand early season nematode feeding when damage potential is highest. And because it blocks nematodes rather than attacking them, VOTiVO is effective against all major plant-parasitic nematodes, including lance, lesion, needle, root-knot and soybean cyst nematodes.
