APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Apply 0.13 – 6.4 ounces (oz) of NAVIVA LF per 100 square feet of the crop (see Table 

1.) prior to planting and subsequently in 3 to 4 week intervals. Use the higher application 

rate on sites with high Reniform nematode populations (greater than 50 Reniform

nematodes per 0.4 cup [100cc] of soil) or areas with extensive nematode damage such as 

stunted plants, dying plants, or heavily stunted root systems compared to unaffected 

plants in the same field. For best control, a minimum of 3 sequential applications is 

required. Monthly applications throughout the year may help maintain Reniform

nematode populations below economic threshold levels.

NAVIVA LF may be diluted in water to attain proper distribution across the area to be 

treated. This product may be applied using standard calibrated ground spray-application 

equipment and incorporated to a 4 inch depth prior to bed formation or applied via 

chemigation through the irrigation system after bed formation (pre-planting). Agitation 

in the mix tank is recommended for any application requiring dilution of the formulated 

product with water prior to application. When mixing, fill the tank one-half full with 

water, add NAVIVA LF slowly to the tank with hydraulic or mechanical agitation, and 

continue to fill with water. For diluted product applications, apply product in the 

appropriate amount of water to treat the root-zone of the crop without flushing the 

product beyond the root-zone of the crop (this can vary with soil type and crop stage). 

Apply enough water following all applications to move the NAVIVA LF spores into the 

plant root-zone and to flush the irrigation lines of any remaining product. After 

application of NAVIVA LF and subsequent treatment with water, minimizing irrigation 

for several weeks following treatment may improve Reniform nematode control. For 

areas under intense irrigation, repeat applications may be necessary to maintain Reniform

nematode populations below an economic threshold.

DAYS TO HARVEST

There are no restrictions on applying NAVIVA LF up to the time of harvest.

CHEMIGATION

General Requirements:

1) Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, 

end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move) and drip 

(trickle) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of 

irrigation system 

2) Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of 

treated water.

3) If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension 

Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.

4) Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for 

pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide labelprescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.

5) A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its 

operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the 

system down and make any necessary adjustments should the need arise.

Requirements for Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems:

1) Public water supply means a system for the provision to the public of piped water 

for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or 

regularly serves an average of 25 individuals daily at least 60 days throughout the 

year.

2) Chemigation systems connected to the public water systems must contain a 

functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), backflow preventer or the functional 

equivalent in the water supply upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. 

As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be 

discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a 

complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the 

top of the overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter 

of the fill pipe.

3) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

4) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, 

solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and 

connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the 

supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut 

down.

5) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut 

off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases 

where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point 

where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6) Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection 

pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials

Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. 9 of 10 December 6, 2011

that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system 

interlock.

7) Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for 

treatment.

Requirements for Sprinkler Chemigation:

1) The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low 

pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water 

source contamination from back flow.

2) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, 

solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and 

connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the 

supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut 

down.

4) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut 

off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

5) The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch,

which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the 

point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6) Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection 

pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials 

that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system 

interlock.

7) Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for 

treatment.

Requirements for Drip Chemigation:

 1) The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and

 low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent 

water source contamination from back flow.

2) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, 

solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and 

connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the 

supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut 

down.

4) The system must contain functional inter-locking controls to automatically shut 

off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

5) The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch 

which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the 

point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6) Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection

pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of
