Salibro: A New Weapon Against Nematodes

Nematodes may be hidden underground, but they can have a major impact on the long-term productivity of orchards, vineyards, and specialty crops. In this What's Working in Ag segment, Daniel Abruzzini of Corteva joins Farm4Profit to discuss Salibro, an innovative nematicide that's changing how growers manage root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes in perennial cropping systems. Unlike traditional fumigation practices performed before planting, Salibro offers growers the flexibility to make in-season chemigation applications through existing irrigation systems, helping protect valuable orchards throughout their productive lifespan. Daniel also shares insights into California specialty crop production, including almonds, walnuts, grapes, citrus, leafy vegetables, brassicas, tomatoes, and more, while explaining why healthy root systems are critical for maximizing production over decades. Topics include: What nematodes are and why they matter Traditional fumigation versus in-season management Salibro chemigation applications Root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes Orchard establishment and longevity California specialty crop production Irrigation and chemigation systems Soil sampling and treatment thresholds Root health and yield protection Long-term orchard profitability Whether you farm orchards, vineyards, specialty crops, or simply want to learn about emerging crop protection technologies, this episode offers a practical look at one of agriculture's newest tools for underground pest management.   Want Farm4Profit Merch?
