HIT NEMATODES WHERE THEY LIVE!• Proven reliable performance of the leading granular nematicide

• Contact and systemic control of nematodes

• SIMPAS® SmartCartridge® container technology provides unprecedented rate flexibility and control by management zone

RECOMMENDATION• Focus on areas where nematodes have been identified (prior history or soil

testing), where yield potential is highest and soils with higher sand content, as nematodes can favor these areas

• Survey data indicates nematodes can be found in most fields and soils

• Weeds and cover crops can serve as hosts, and reduced tillage has been reported to increase population of some nematodes

• Nematodes survive corn-soy rotations, feeding on weed species and volunteer corn

KNOCK OUT NEMATODES RIGHT IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD

S I M P A S-a p p l i e d S o l u t i o n s™

NEMATODES COST FARMERS MILLIONS PER YEAR Easily misdiagnosed as weather stress, nutrient deficiencies, injury from other pests or soil compaction, nematode infestations have become a common event — and cause major yield losses in corn annually.

Because of less tillage, more continuous corn and less soil insecticide use — nematode populations are booming. Nematode feeding not only sucks precious nutrients from your corn, the tissue damage exposes plants to diseases and other pest infestations, which intensifies yield losses.

PROVEN NEMATODE CONTROLOn-farm trials and university tests show COUNTER® 20G consistently helps increase yield in areas infested with nematodes. COUNTER provides you reliable targeted control of nematodes — plus rootworms and other seed-attacking pests. When nematodes are the problem, COUNTER is the solution.
