Nufarm demonstrates herbicide for weed control in the initial phase of soybeans

Launched around three years ago, the herbicide ZethaMaxx will be the main highlight of the Nufarm company's presence at Coopershow 2020. The company also brings to the event of the Cooperativa Agroindustrial Coopermota, in Cândido Mota (SP), the portfolio for controlling pests, diseases and invasive in sugarcane, soybean, corn and peanut crops.

Trade Marketing Manager at Nufarm, agronomist Paulo Desenso highlights that the ZethaMaxx herbicide is among the most robust technologies launched by the company in recent years. “The product delivers results above expectations. It avoids productivity losses due to initial weed competition, reduces the seed bank and when used correctly, it eliminates the need for post-emergence application of soybeans.”

Nufarm also brings two more herbicides to the 14th edition of Coopershow – Crucial and Nippon 40 SC. The first acts on a broad spectrum of broad leaves in different crops and takes effect faster than other glyphosates, especially in rainy cycles. The second, recommended for corn, is an equally broad-spectrum systemic and post-emergent product.

In the insecticide area, Nufarm will showcase the Inside FS and Maestro products at the event, both from the SeedProtection seed treatment platform, Compact® and the Carnadine-Kaiso and Carnadine-Epingle solutions. This line has specific indications for the control of pests of economic importance such as green-bellied stink bug, corn leafhopper, whitefly and the so-called chewing pests of soybeans, including elastic caterpillar, coró and soy anteater, in addition to Spodoptera frugiperda.

Nufarm's stand at the Cândido Mota event also has space for the Curado-Sialex 500 technological solution, aimed at controlling white mold in soybeans. “Cured reduces secondary cycles of white mold infection and Sialex 500 acts on important oilseed diseases, especially sclerotin rot”, concludes Paulo Desenso.
