UPL Corp Fights Dirty When Battling Nematodes

Tags: Seed Treatments

NIMAXXA™ gets to the root of the problem

Nematodes are a silent killer, chewing on plant roots and causing significant damage below ground before any physical symptoms start to appear. It’s a challenge that costs an estimated $100 billion USD annually world-wide. That’s why UPL Corp developed NIMAXXA™ bionematicide, a biological seed treatment that goes to the root of the problem to fight the pest.

Initially approved in Brazil where nematodes are a big threat to multiple crops, this new bionematicide is a part of UPL Corp’s Natural Plant Protection (NPP) portfolio. It’s formulated with three naturally derived bacteria strains that protect crop roots from Soybean Cyst, Trusted Root and Lesion nematode roundworm parasites. 

This is the only triple-strain bionematicide that works in harmony to create a protective biofilm around crop roots, safeguarding them from harmful nematodes at various life stages preserving farmers’ yields.

NIMAXXA is a biological seed treatment that’s currently available in Paraguay, Brazil, and the US, and has undergone scientific trials and in-field validations that prove its efficacy.

It’s this rigorous testing that sets our NPP products apart, providing powerful and proven sustainable solutions that help farmers solve their real-world challenges. These products are all designed to seamlessly integrate with our conventional portfolios to give growers a comprehensive set of tools to improve their yield and profitability, while maintaining their land for generations to come.


"NIMAXXA was developed with farmers in mind – giving them powerful, nature-based solutions with efficient control, high versatility of application and compatibility with all market chemical seed treatments, providing crop yield increase to the farms.″
