Bayer CropScience • (866) 992-2937 • www.cropscience.bayer.us V+M Solution V+M Solution is a nematode management program that combines the wide-spectrum nematicidal activity of Velum Prime with the sustained in-season nematode protection of Movento to guard against nematodes. Both Velum Prime and Movento are easy to handle, can be integrated with existing in-season crop management systems and offer the additional benefits of disease and insect management. Additionally, V+M. Velum Prime nematicide is a solution for nematode and disease management and should be applied early in the potato-growing season via overhead chemigation to help provide higher yields through suppression of nematodes and disease. Velum Prime has been shown to be effective against a wide range of plant-parasitic nematodes with its unique mode of action. Movento insecticide provides protection from nematodes through convenient in-season applications that improve crop quality and return on investment. When sprayed on the leaf surface, Movento penetrates the leaf cuticle, where it becomes fully mobile within the plant. Movento then moves from the leaves to the roots. After being exposed to Movento, juvenile stage nematodes are no longer able to develop, thereby reducing populations.
