Velum Total Nematicide/Fungicide FAQs

Velum Total Product Overview

What is Velum Total Nematicide/Fungicide?

Velum^® Total uses the power of two active ingredients to control nematodes and early season insects. Velum Total enhances root health and helps establish strong growth in peanuts and cotton. As an early season insecticide, Velum Total decreases the need for additional foliar sprays to regulate damaging pests.

How does Velum Total work?

Velum Total inhibits nematode growth by attacking their cells’ mitochondria, which severely depletes their cellular energy. Fluopyram, an active ingredient in Velum Total, selectively inhibits Complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in the mitochondria of nematodes, which results in immobility and death.
