Professor talks about the development of biologicals in interview with Jornal Anhanguera

The professor of the Faculty of Agronomy at the University of Rio Verde - UniRV, Dr. Eduardo Freire talked about the development of a biological product that eliminates nematodes during an interview broadcasted in Jornal Anhaguera, 2^nd edition, on the night of this Wednesday, February 8^th. The bionematics, developed based on the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BV03 bacteria, is capable of inducing systematic resistance in soybeans, which has been attested through lab research, done at the green house and on the field at UniRV and, later, in other 10 well renowned institutions.

With this advancement in the research, the professor breaks the nematode combat paradigm, since, despite being a new management and control biological product, it has received an unprecedented registration in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, having the product be recommended for use in aerial dispersion over soybean crops in order to control nematodes. With the proposition of unclogging the seed treatment; minimizing loss in areas where nematodes were detected after crop implementation, and optimizing the management in high pressure areas, applying the product on the seeds as well as in its above ground parts.
