UPL Launches Numaxa Seed Treatment

UPL has a new bio-nematicide seed treatment that can help protect against pests like the soybean cyst nematode. Technical Sales Support Specialist Lyn Justeffson says Numaxa improves pest control while also promoting root growth. “Numaxa is a naturally occurring microbe that not only protects against nematodes, but it’s also actually a true nematocyte and kills both nymphs and eggs.” Numaxa offers protection for both corn and soybeans. “Most corn is treated upstream at the manufacturer, but there are a few places where, if you would like to treat it downstream, you could do the same thing and it works equally as well.”
