DiTera® Grapes
DiTera® Grapes is a microbial nematicide derived from the microorganism Myrothecium verrucaria. DiTera provides significant plant health benefits resulting in higher crop yields and an excellent return on investment. Use of DiTera can increase root and shoot vigor, enhance root nutrient uptake and result in enhanced foliage color. DiTera acts by selectively controlling plant parasitic nematodes that affect the root systems of many economic crops including vegetables, tomatoes, cole crops, grapes, stone fruit, citrus, nut crops, bananas, pineapples, turf, and ornamentals.

- Benefits
Outstanding grower return on investment; Provides significant plant health benefits resulting in higher yield; > Increased root vigor; > Increased shoot vigor; > Enhanced foliage color; > Enhanced nutrient uptake by roots; Broad-range nematicide with activity against numerous species including root knot and cyst nematodes; Multiple modes of action for enhanced efficacy and nematicide resistance management; > Nematode muscular paralysis inhibiting feeding and movement; > Block of sensory organs preventing location and feeding on plant roots; > Inhibition of egg development; Soil Enhancement; > Increases beneficial microbe populations; > Improves soil water-holding capacities; Harvest and application flexibility; > Excellent worker safety profile; > Excellent environmental profile; > No use restrictions: in-season applications allowed; > No residue issues giving harvest management flexibility; > Can be used alone or part of a season-long nematicide-treatment program; Resistance management; > Alternative mode of action to commercial nematicides; > Use as rotation partner with standard nematicides; > Excellent tool for control of nematode populations suspected to be resistant to standard nematicides
- Work Life
DiTera® has three direct nematicidal modes of action: • Kills nematodes by paralysis of the muscles controlling feeding and locomotion • Inhibits nematode sensory organs causing disorientation • Prevents egg hatching and development DiTera® also: • Enhances beneficial microbe populations • Reduces susceptibility to secondary infections of plant roots • Increases soil water-holding capacity
