Nufarm Announces Two New Fungicide Registrations For Specialty Crops
March 13, 2015 A press release from Nufarm Americas has announced new label expansions for its Cleary 3336 F and EG fungicides.
3336 EG is now available in a new, low-dust extruded granule (EG) formulation in addition to the flowable (F) formulation, providing greenhouse growers with the systemic power of thiophanate-methyl for spray or drench control of diseases such as Thielaviopsis, Rhizoctonia, Botrytis and powdery mildew.
“The new formulation gives end users a lot more flexibility in application without giving up any of the superior formulation technology we’ve worked on for such a long time,” said Rick Fletcher, technical services manager for Nufarm Americas.
Both F and EG versions of 3336 have received EPA approval for use on select greenhouse vegetables and transplants, herbs, and backyard fruit.
“Since 2010, Nufarm has undertaken a systematic label improvement program aimed at appropriate greenhouse vegetables and it has led to a whole host of new ornamental labels,” Fletcher said. “This is a response to the rising interest of greenhouse growers to broaden their crop offerings and business opportunities by growing vegetable transplants for sale by retail outlets. It is a long-term priority for Nufarm to support the industry and add all of these uses.
“We recognized there was a need,” Fletcher added. “We have organized our resources to address this need and we have worked closely with EPA to obtain these results.”
