Dead = heat-killed or no viable cells in end product Marrone Bio Innovations Majestene® - 94.46% heat-killed Burkholderia rinojensis strain A396 cells and spent fermentation media MBI-304 - 30% Chromobacterium subtsugae and spent fermentation media (no viable cells), DF and WDG formulations, not commercially available as a nematicide. Valent BioSciences Corporation DiTera ® – 90% Myrothecium verucarria strain AARC-0255 fermentation solids and solubles. Non-viable, “killed” microbial composition
Majestene® XC Bionematicide
New bacterial species of Burkholderia (rinojensis strain A396) – Discovered in MBI’s discovery screen; isolated from soil; not
related to pathogenic species – Commercial product contains heat-killed cells, spent
fermentation media and associated compounds – Aqueous formulation – QC for nematode activity

Majestene® Reduces Gall Formation and Egg Mass Development
5
Inhibition of egg mass development & hatching
• Reduction of # of egg masses per gall • Direct suppression on egg hatching
Reduction of Gall Formation: • Reduces nematode feeding
• Prevents colony establishment • Prevents disruption of plant function
Williamson and Gleason, 2003; modified
Causes direct mortality: • Dose dependent
• Kills free living stages • Prevents colony establishment

• 2 gal/acre in-furrow spray/drip irrigation at planting or transplanting
• 1 gal/acre re-applications 3-4 weeks later. Make one to two applications during season.
• Apply toward the end of a drip irrigation event. • Specific instructions for overhead irrigation to maintain
a lethal concentration.
Typical Use Recommendation for Fruiting Vegetables and Strawberries:

Best Use and Testing Recommendations for Majestene and MBI-304
Majestene MBI-304 Adjuvant Soil adjuvants are under
investigation Soil adjuvants are under investigation
pH sensitivity ? ? Adjust water hardness ? Yes for DF if >1000 ppm Application interval Varies by crop Varies by crop Sensitive to water volume
Yes and more isn’t better. 0.05% v/v or greater concentration
Needs confirmation, likely an important variable
Tank-mix compatible Generally yes Under investigation Rates per acre (drip) 1-2 gallon/acre 2-4 lbs./acre Rates in-furrow 14-28 fl. oz./1000 row-ft. 2-4 oz./1000 row-ft. Rates for overhead chemigation
2.6 – 4 gallon/acre in 0.1” irrigation
TBD
