We're here at the Syngenta tent where I just spoke to Dale Ireland who told me all about a new product from Syngenta. It is a nematicide product that's going to help protect roots against nematode infection. Let's head inside and check it out.

"This is just a melon plant root system without any infection at all. Okay. This is the same melon variety, but it's been infected by root-knot nematode and you can see all the galling and much less hair-like root system. So compare it to this and you see this has maybe half the amount of fine roots. That's what nematodes do. They destroy rooting potential."

"This is the leading competitive treatment. And you can see that it's better than this fully infected root system. They have the same number of original infection and this protected some of that root potential when you compare to this, but it's still only about half of the amount of root system of the original plant that's uninfected."

"This is our new product that'll be called VICTRATO when it's registered. TYMIRIUM technology is how we refer to it now. It's a new nematicide that will be applied to the seed. And you can see that this root system has been protected much like the uninfected root system. So again, the same number of nematodes were infected on all three of these treatments and this particular treatment protects the most potential for that root."

Interesting stuff there from Dale Ireland. We'll have more on that product as it becomes available. You can find all those updates at notillfarmer.com. Well, I'll check back in a few minutes, but we'll send it back to Noah for now for what's next.
