IMAGE: Wilt, yellowing, and thinning are most common above-ground symptoms of nematode infestation.
Nematode damage is often mistaken for other issues such as drought, disease and nutrient deficiencies, but it can be a real threat to turf quality across the country. Turfgrass roots damaged by nematodes are less capable of absorbing water and nutrients, require frequent watering and fertilization and are more susceptible to disease. Help avoid weakened turf with new Divanem, a broad-spectrum nematicide that helps prevent nematode damage for stronger, stress-tolerant turf on greens, tees and fairways.
A Hidden Threat
Courses across the country are susceptible to nematodes, regardless of soil type, so it is important to properly scout by taking soil samples and having them analyzed by a local lab or extension service. With the results, you can get to the root of existing problems and stay ahead of nematode damage during times of stress.

Underground Security
Divanem offers effective control of a broad spectrum of nematodes – including lance, root-knot and sting. It contains the proven active ingredient abamectin that delivers excellent turf quality on tees, greens and fairways of all turfgrass species. Additionally, Divanem is designed to move quickly into the soil where nematodes are most active.
Additionally, Divanem can help significantly improve root system quality and mass. Healthier roots allow for stronger turf that maintains the highest quality above and below ground for quicker recovery from stress, including drought and aerification.
Control Nematodes and Disease
Nematode-damaged roots not only absorb less water, but are also more susceptible to disease. When combined with Heritage Action fungicide, Divanem can further improve turf quality, turf density, root growth and quality, while providing enhanced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.
Additionally, when you purchase one case of Divanem or one case of Divanem and Heritage Action from March 1 to April 30, you will receive a Malektronic Rocket Bluetooth wireless speaker. You can also earn 10,000 GreenTrust points on your second qualifying purchase of Divanem or Divanem and Heritage Action Multipak.
