With Nemacur no longer available, golf course superintendents have struggled to find an acceptable tool for the control of nematodes in turf.
For professional turfgrass managers looking for a tool to help control a variety of turf-damaging nematodes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted label registration to Indemnify, a new nematicide from Bayer Environmental Science.
With the active ingredient fluopyram, Indemnify is a concentrated formulation labeled for preventive and curative control of sting, root knot, spiral, Anguina pacifcae and many other types of nematodes.
Indemnify is labeled for use on warm-and cool-season grasses and will not damage turf. Formulated with soil surfactants, and it sprays on clear, but has a bluish tint after application.
A 17.1-ounce bottle is enough to treat 1-2 acres of affected turf.
