Bionat launches Peregrino bionematicide at 27th Summer Technological Show

Bionat Soluções Biológicas company announced the release of the microbiological nematicide Peregrino (Bacillus subtilis + Bacillus velezensis) during the 27th Summer Technological Show. 

According to the manufacturer, the new product is the only bionematicide that combines Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus velezensis with exclusive strains developed in partnership with the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (Esalq), a unit of the University of São Paulo (USP).

"This dual protection controls root-knot and lesion nematodes through four modes of action," explained Álefe Borges, Product Manager at Bionat Soluções Biológicas. 

He emphasized that the launch of this technology "reinforces the commitment to innovation to deliver solutions unique in the market, always focusing on helping the rural producer feed the world safely and sustainably."

Álefe Borges highlighted that nematode management challenges were discussed at the company's booth during the 27th Summer Technological Show. 

The event took place in the state of Paraná, in southern Brazil. It brought together a select audience, mainly farmers and agronomists providing technical assistance in the Brazilian states of Paraná, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul.

Bionat's sales representatives welcomed visitors to present the Integrated Management System Essere Group (SIM ESSERE). 

"For complex problems, there are no isolated solutions, so we must combine products and knowledge for assertive positioning aiming for excellence in field results," said the product manager at Bionat Soluções Biológicas.

Bionat is a member of the Essere Group holding, including Kimberlit Agrociências and Loyder Brasil companies. Kimberlit Agrociências also offers solutions that comprise the Integrated Management System - SIM ESSERE, combining technologies from multiple segments to effectively manage complex issues.

Bruno Neves, Product Manager at Kimberlit, stated that the technologies offered by each business unit to the market are complementary and aim to increase the adoption of SIM, especially in nematode management. 

In this case, management required solutions from the choice of material to be used to foliar applications with products that complement the biological management done during planting.

"In this line, Kimberlit Agrociências has solutions in the Physioactivators segment that promote greater plant tolerance to stresses, whether caused by biotic factors such as nematodes or abiotic factors such as water deficit and temperature stress experienced in some regions in the current crop season," Neves said.

Portfolio Manager at Loyder Brasil, Danilo Storti, said that soil management and plant nutrition have never been as necessary as in the current crop season.

 "In several regions, we had irregular rainfall and very high temperatures. I visited several clients who used the Intelligent Fertilizer Haya and reported that by using this technology, they observed that the plants better withstood these adverse climatic conditions," he said in conclusion.
