Nemasan™
EPA-Registered Organic Nematicide for Sustainable Crop Protection
Nemasan™ is an EPA-registered, chitosan-based nematicide formulated to provide effective suppression and control of plant-parasitic nematodes across a variety of crops and landscapes. Its unique combination of chitosan and Quillaja extract offers a dual-action approach.
Chitosan stimulates soil microbes to produce enzymes that degrade nematode eggshells, disrupting their lifecycle.
Quillaja extract acts as a bio-pesticide, directly affecting nematode membranes and causing paralysis.
This synergistic formulation ensures both immediate and residual nematode control, promoting healthier root systems and improved plant vitality.
Key Features
Year-Round Application: Safe for use during all phases of the growing cycle, providing flexibility in application timing.
Low Usage Rate: Effective suppression/control with application rates as low as 16 oz per acre.
No Special PPE Required: Unlike many traditional nematicides, Nemasan™ does not require special spray protocols or respirators, reducing application complexity and enhancing user safety.
Environmental Compatibility: Formulated with natural ingredients, making it suitable for organic and sustainable farming practices.
Versatile Application Methods: Can be applied via foliar spray or fertigation, integrating seamlessly into existing crop management programs.
Benefits
Enhanced Root Health: By controlling nematode populations, Nemasan™ supports robust root development, improving nutrient and water uptake.
Increased Crop Yield: Healthy root systems contribute to overall plant vigor and higher yields.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Utilizing natural ingredients minimizes ecological footprint and supports sustainable agriculture.
Cost-Effective: Lower application rates and reduced need for specialized equipment lead to cost savings.

“A fairly new development in this subject is the introduction of a chitosan based material called Nemasan which when applied correctly can decimate nematodes within a few days of application, allowing crops to then form better roots, use nutrients and water more efficiently, and yield as they should.”
