Majestene Bionematicide Offers Season-long Nematode Control
A breakthrough in biological control of economically damaging nematodes, Majestene offers growers a new choice in a dwindling selection of nematode management tools: broad-spectrum, exempt from residue tolerances, for conventional & organic production.
Majestene is a powerful – yet worker-friendly and tolerance exempt – species-selective bionematicide with activity against eggs, juveniles and adult lesion, root knot, dagger, stunt, reniform, and soybean cyst nematodes. Majestene protects the plant from yield-robbing nematodes; thereby, promoting stronger, healthier roots and more robust yields.
Application: Foliar (Aerial or Ground), Chemigation, Soil Treatment, Backpack/Hand Sprayer
Active Ingredient: Heat-killed Burkholderia
How your crops benefit from Majestene
Majestene is a liquid nematicide that can be applied pre-plant, at planting and in-season for season-long reduction of nematode populations and galling in potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, cucurbits, corn and onions. Growers have seen notable success in using Majestene on potato and onion acres in the Pacific Northwest, and several specialty crops in Florida and Georgia.

Art of Use
The following best use practices should be kept in mind to effectively use Majestene Bionematicide:
- Majestene can be used as a soil drench, in-furrow, at planting and as a seed drench.
- It can also be applied through drip irrigation, T-banded or shanked-in.
- Reapply every 28 days for effective nematode control.
- Apply at seeding for direct-seeded crops
- Apply at transplanting or shortly thereafter for transplanted crops
- Reapply every 3-4 weeks for season-long control
