Bayer secures EPA Federal Registration for Indemnify nematicide

Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience LP, has secured EPA registration of Indemnify, a new product that delivers preventative and curative nematode control. Indemnify can be used on both warm- and cool-season turf, on all areas of the golf course as well as non-golf turf areas such as sports fields and residential turf.

Indemnify is a true nematicide proven to control nematodes in turf without causing course disruption or damage to turf that other products can cause, Bayer says.

Its active ingredient, fluopyram, offers outstanding curative and preventative nematode control. Indemnify features a highly concentrated formulation that is easily measured and handled, specially formulated with proprietary soil surfactants that are designed to penetrate the soil profile, and a readily identifiable blue hue that sprays on clear.

Effective on sting, root knot, spiral, anguina pacificae and many other species of nematodes, Indemnify is designed for flexibile application anytime nematodes are active and allows turf managers the opportunity to achieve premier nematode management, the company says.

“Nematodes can be devastating to root formation and overall plant health in greens,” says Laurence Mudge, green solutions team manager for the Bayer professional turf and ornamentals business. “We developed Indemnify because turf managers have been demanding a better way to control nematodes than what is currently available. Indemnify delivers amazing results in a simple, easy-to-apply solution that’s convenient for turf managers.”
