EDN is a non-ozone-depleting answer to today’s fumigation challenges. Its active ingredient – ethanedinitrile – is an ozone-friendly substance. EDN limits the impact of pests and disease in agriculture. It can be used to disinfect soil and control insects, diseases, nematodes, weeds and other parasites before planting fruit, vegetables and ornamental crops.
Soil Treatment
Comparable to currently available soil fumigants in terms of efficacy, EDN has a shorter fumigation period with improved penetration characteristics and enables faster plant-back times (14 days). All of which combines to increase productivity and profitability. Follow the product label recommendation to achieve maximum control of the target organisms.
Product Benefits:
