30 October 2025, Iowa: Albaugh announced today that the company has received U.S. Environmental Protection Agency end-use registration for BIOST® 2G Nematicide + Insecticide, a new biological seed treatment offering that will be available for sale in fall 2025 (EPA Reg. No. 84059-34-42750).
BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide is a second-generation biological seed treatment technology that contains a novel active ingredient that has shown strong activity against plant parasitic nematodes, as well as corn rootworm larvae, seed maggots, wireworms, and other soil-borne insect pests. It is a non-living, shelf-stable biopesticide that delivers consistent performance, stopping insect and nematode feeding to minimize crop losses with an environmentally friendly profile.
“Many of our seed treatment customers have come to rely on BIOST Insecticide 100 and BIOST Nematicide 100 for their individual strengths in managing soil-borne insects and nematodes,” says Chris Zita, Director – Albaugh Seed Treatments. “BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide is next-generation technology that utilizes a novel active ingredient that has been used across more than 20 million acres, now formulated in a highly optimized, low use rate seed treatment that delivers proven activity against both nematodes and insects, including corn rootworm larvae, in one convenient solution.”
“The addition of BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide to our BIOST Nature’s Science™ platform is an exciting expansion of our seed treatment portfolio that further demonstrates Albaugh’s commitment to delivering a broad portfolio of high-performing solutions for our customers to use in their customized seed treatment offers,” Zita continued.
BIOST 2G Nematicide + Insecticide will be available for use in corn, soybeans, cotton, cereal grains, potatoes, and other crops, pending final state registrations.
