Albaugh Introduces BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide Seed Treatment
The Environmental Protection Agency has granted end-use registration for BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide, a new biological seed treatment.
BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide is a second-generation biological seed treatment technology containing a novel active ingredient that has shown strong activity against plant parasitic nematodes and soil-borne insect pests.
- Corn rootworm larvae
- Seed maggots
- Wireworms
- Other soil-borne insect pests
It is a non-living, shelf-stable biopesticide that consistently stops insect and nematode feeding to minimize crop losses with an environmentally friendly profile.
The new seed treatment will be available for use in multiple crops, including:
- Cotton
- Corn
- Soybeans
- Cereal grains
- Potatoes
- Other crops
Pending final state registrations, BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide will be available in fall 2025.
