Nanotechnology solutions for nematode control
Nematodes are microscopic cylindrical worms found in soil, fresh and salt water. They can harm animals, insects and plants. In plants, they remove nutrients and inject toxic substances, affecting roots, bulbs, leaves and stems and inhibiting their growth.
Revella develops sustainable additives, composed of particle-based suspensions stabilized with molecules from plant extracts, using 100% Brazilian technologies and raw materials.

The impact of nematodes on Brazilian agriculture
Nematodes represent a silent but devastating threat to agriculture, causing productivity losses that, in soybeans alone, exceed R$374 billion over a decade in Brazil.
These microscopic parasites take nutrients from plants, inject toxins into plant cells and seriously compromise the development of crops such as soybeans, corn, cotton and sunflower. Did you know that they are even spread by agricultural machinery and irrigation?
What are nematodes and how do they affect plants?
Nematodes are cylindrical worms found in soil and water. In plants, they parasitize roots, stems and leaves, causing symptoms such as yellowing of the leaves, reduced growth and the formation of galls.
Nematode attack is influenced by factors such as soil type, climate and agricultural management, making control an urgent necessity to guarantee the health and productivity of crops.
How to control nematodes efficiently in soybeans
Effective nematode control requires an integrated approach, from monitoring to the use of innovative technologies. Revella brings sustainable solutions that enhance the fight against these parasites, protecting crop profitability.

8 effective nematode management measures
Check out the best practices for strategic control:
- Identification and monitoring of affected areas with nematological analyses;
- Biological control with fungi and beneficial bacteria such as Trichoderma harzianum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens;
- Planting tolerant cultivars combined with crop rotation;
- Crop rotation with non-host species such as corn and wheat;
- Seed treatment with specialized technologies such as Revella's Seed line;
- Use of antagonistic plants such as rye and pigeonpea;
- Implementation of strict phytosanitary measures to prevent spread;
- Chemical control combined with sustainable additives to increase effectiveness.
Applying these measures in an integrated manner increases management efficiency and reduces economic losses, ensuring healthier and more productive crops.
Proven results with Revella additives
Revella's additives have shown significant results in field tests for nematode control, especially Arbo AQ 010, a technology based on nano particles stabilized with natural extracts.
Shall we look at the main gains seen in the treated areas?
Increased vigor and productivity
The soybean areas treated with Arbo AQ 010 showed:
- 16% increase in root vigor;
- 20% increase in plant vigor;
- 100% germination and zero plant mortality;
- Significant increase in productivity in infested areas.
These results reinforce how nanotechnology can be a game changer in nematode management.
How Arbo AQ 010 works on plants
The Arbo AQ 010's technology offers multiple benefits through advanced mechanisms:
- Increased water absorption by plant cells;
- Boosting the conversion of the seed's energy reserves;
- Maintenance of cell membrane integrity;
- Activation of the plant's natural immune system;
- Improved cell communication for rapid response to microorganisms.
This combination of actions strengthens plant resistance and makes Arbo AQ 010 an essential ally in the fight against nematodes.
Conclusion: Technology for productivity
With solutions such as Arbo AQ 010, Revella offers 100% national innovation to protect crops and increase productivity, contributing to a more sustainable and profitable agriculture.
