MANA Acquires Two Herbicides From DuPont

Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. (MANA) announces a recent agreement between its parent company Makhteshim Agan Industries Ltd and DuPont Crop Protection in which MANA acquires the non-mixture diuron assets from DuPont, including Karmex and Direx herbicides. These herbicide brands are used throughout the U.S. on crops ranging from cotton and citrus to alfalfa, tree nuts and fruits to vegetables and grains.

Karmex and Direx offer selective control of broadleaf weeds and grasses. These brands can be used pre- and post-emergence and as a burn down or a lay by. Both brands provide a key, low-cost, effective solution to glyphosate resistant weeds.

As part of the global acquisition, Makhteshim-Agan Industries receives all rights, registrations, and supporting regulatory data, including trademark rights of the Direx and Karmex diuron assets, making MANA the major supplier for all non-mixture diuron formulations in the U.S.
