For the active reduction of Potato Cyst Nematodes

Name addition
sticky nightshade
  • Reduces Globodera rostochiensis (pathotypes 1 to 4) and Globodera pallida (pathotypes 2 and 3)
  • First studies show that the new Globodera pallida type "Emsland" can also be reduced with DIAMOND
  • The larvae of the Potato Cyst Nematodes lying in the soil are stimulated by the root secretions of DIAMOND - the hatched larvae can not develop and die
  • DIAMOND is a particularly vital variety - this can be seen in a rapid emergence and improved youth development
  • Optimal and rapid growth is promoted by warm soil temperatures above 12 ° C
  • DIAMOND forms a strong, branched stem and a dense root system
  • Belongs to the family of the night shadow plants (Solanaceae) and freezes off during winter
