Velum Prime contains the new active substance fluopyram and fights nematodes and mildew in a wide range of greenhouse crops such as tomato, eggplant, pepper, cucumber, zucchini, pumpkin, melon and watermelon, as well as outdoor crops such as tomato, eggplant, pepper, cucumber, cucumber, cucumber, zucchini, pumpkin, melon, watermelon, carrot, banana, tobacco and potato.
Fluopyram has a pronounced action against adults of nematodes. In addition, it causes a delay in the development of eggs which are at an advanced stage and limits their hatching. At the biochemical level it presents a new mode of action as it blocks mitochondrial breathing by blocking the transfer of electrons to the respiratory chain of Succinate Quinone Reductase (complex II- inhibitor SQR). The first symptoms appear about 30 minutes after application as the nematodes begin to move more slowly while after 1-2 hours they are finally completely paralyzed.
