Legacy Product Profile: Nufarm


With products sold in over 100 countries around the world, Nufarm is a global leader in crop protection. American growers may know them best for their extensive line of harvest aids, plant growth regulators and defoliants.

Western cotton growers will recognize Mepex, FreeFall, SuperBoll and CottonQuik, which work well with the climate and agronomic practices of the far west cotton growing region. Nufarm’s other brands, including Mepex Gin Out and FirstPick, have found niches in areas as wide-ranging as New Mexico and Virginia.

“With cotton profit margins as thin or thinner than ever, growers have to be looking for any edge they can get, and a good harvest aid program can pay off like few other investments,” says Brian Rund, Marketing Services Manager with Nufarm Americas.

The company’s Kaiso lambda-cyhalothrin incorporates the easy handling and mixing of a dry formulation with the quick knockdown of an emulsifiable concentrate. In 2009, Nufarm will have a limited quantity of Credit Xtreme, which performs better with Roundup-Ready cotton.
