NEMASAN Application on Turf
32 oz per acre of Nemasan was applied as a spray over the top and watered in on October the 12th.
The photos below show the day of application and the results of the spray on October the 30th.

What is Nemasan?
Nemasan is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered nematicide that can both be applied during all phases of the growing cycle and assist growers in treating nematode outbreaks without using any special spray protocol, respirator or personal protective equipment (PPE).
Plant-parasitic nematodes feed on the root systems of turf grass and reduce the plants ability to extract water and nutrients from the soil. This reduced ability causes the plant to become more susceptible to environmental stresses such as drought and mineral deficiencies.
An Impressive Combination!
Nemasan is made up of two principal functioning agents for the control and suppression of nematodes; Quillaja extract and Chitosan.
Quillaja is a liquid bio-pesticide with a long history of being used to control nematodes in turf and ornamentals. The saponins have a direct toxic effect on the parasitic nematodes. The saponins of Quillaja are extracted and processed to be used with common spray equipment.
Chitosan is a natural cationic biopolymer, primarily derived from shellfish exoskeletons. The chitosan stimulates soil microbes to make enzymes that attack plant parasitic nematode stylets and eggs. For Nemasan, our chitosan has been processed to be immediately bioavailable in liquid format.
These two active ingredients form an impressive combination; Quillaja as the quick knockdown and Chitosan as the residual, that keeps working within the soil environment.
Flint on Crops
We Often Ignore Important Things – Commentary
“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.”
