This innovative product, powered by Reklemel active, provides farmers with a targeted and environmentally friendly solution to protect their crops from damaging nematodes while preserving the soil health.

Moreover, Salibro is compatible with bacterial and fungal-feeding nematodes, as well as beneficial soil macrofauna, such as earthworms and soil mites, ensuring a balanced and thriving soil ecosystem. By preserving the delicate balance of soil biology, Salibro not only safeguards crop yields but also fosters sustainable agricultural practices.
