Control key pests to improve plant health

With improved plant health and protection from pests, above- and below-ground, vegetable growers can be first to market with their produce.

Improved plant health can equal earlier production, making you the first to market with your quality produce.

Vydate® L also buys vegetable growers relief from yield-robbing pests that might be nibbling on their crops, including nematodes.

Oxamyl, the active ingredient in Vydate® L, works both as a nematicide and an insecticide. Vydate is a nematastic product, paralyzing nematodes and controlling key pests at varying life stages.

Vydate® L is a broad-spectrum insecticide/nematicide reliably controlling key pests in vegetable crops, including aphids, mites, thrips, leafminers, weevils, leafhoppers and several nematode species. With both foliar translaminar and soil systemic activity for top-down and roots-up control of damaging insects, yield-robbing pests and nematodes experience reduced feeding, movement, reproduction and hatching.

Healthier plants are one of several benefits provided by Vydate® L:

  • Protects above and below ground – foliar translaminar and soil systemic activity protect from nematodes in the soil and from key pests feeding on buds and fruit.

  • Impacts pests quicky – Vydate® L kills on contact when applied to the plant, and reduces nematode feeding movement, reproduction and hatching when applied to the soil.

  • Kills adults and larvae – no stage of growth is immune from the quick knockdown of Vydate® L. Ovicidal activity also has been observed on several nematode species.

  • Manages resistance - Vydate® L is in the carbamate family, providing increased plant health and giving growers an effective rotational partner in resistance management programs.
