Sectagon Benefits

Get Your Soil Spring-Ready

Sectagon® effectively controls common pests found in growers’ fields, such as weeds and soil-borne diseases, and suppresses nematodes, all of which can harm growing plants and reduce yields. Weed infestations and germinating weed seeds compete for resources in the field. Sectagon controls many problematic weeds, including nightshade, nutsedge, and morning glory, reducing competition for nutrients and water.

Tomatoes and onions thrive when adequate potassium levels are available, which are essential for development and overall plant health. Sectagon®-K54 provides potassium and elemental sulfur, crucial nutrients for proper plant development. After Sectagon application, plants typically show improved root development, which leads to better nutrient and water uptake. Sectagon-K54’s sodium-free formulation makes it ideal for use on sodium-sensitive crops, or soils with high sodium or pH levels. Even with optimal growing conditions and nutrients, growers still need to defend their crops from pests. 

Pathogens, intensified by certain environmental factors, can negatively impact the quality and marketability of a grower’s yield. By controlling or suppressing pathogens like Verticillium spp., Pythium, Phytophthora and, Sclerotinia, as well as root-knot nematodes, Sectagon can help improve plant health. Sectagon leaves no residue in the planted crop and is exempt from EPA tolerances, making it ideal for growers producing processing tomatoes and onions.

Ensure your fields are ready for planting by applying Sectagon. Reduce pests and pathogens that can impact yields and crop quality.
