Nufarm Americas Inc.
announces receipt of the federal registration for Senator™ 600
FS. Senator™ 600 FS is a 5 pound per gallon imidacloprid
formulation that will be used for seed treatment of key
production crops including corn, cotton, sorghum, and soybean.
The newly registered product has been proven to be particularly
effective against various sucking and chewing pests, such as
aphids, thrips, chinch bugs, and bean leaf beetles.
“We feel both excited and confident about what Senator™ 600 FS
has to offer the end user,” says Tim Stoehr, Nufarm’s Director
of Sales – Seed Treatment and Specialty. “The formulation has
been rigorously tested and found to perform as well or better
than the leading competitive offerings in the marketplace.”
“It’s always exciting to add a new product to your portfolio,”
adds Dick Barrett, Vice President Sales, Agriculture. “Nufarm
has a strong reputation for its sales of Credit ® brand
glyphosate, Champ® brand copper fungicides and Weedar® and
Weedone® brand phenoxy herbicides, and continues to expand into
other market segments with products such as Nuprid™ 2F and
Nuprid™ 1.6F insecticides. The Senator™ 600 FS introduction is a
continuation of our strategy to aggressively improve and broaden
the Nufarm line.”
According to Geoff Quick, Vice President of Business Development
and Marketing, “Senator™ 600 FS is the first of several planned
product entries scheduled to appear in the U.S. seed treatment
market over the next several years. Nufarm has a leading
position in seed treatment in Australia and we intend to use the
Senator™ 600 FS introduction and our global expertise to expand
our presence within the U.S.”
Senator™ 600 FS is available in 4x1-gallon cases. State
registrations are pending. Please contact your local Nufarm
