Nufarm Combines Pre- and Post-Emergent Herbicides in ProDeuce™
|
Burr Ridge, IL – Nufarm Americas, Inc. announces that they have been granted federal EPA registration for the unique, new landscape and light industrial product, ProDeuce™. This dualaction herbicide combines the pre-emergent activity of prodiamine, with the non-selective, contact control of glyphosate.
ProDeuce™ is the perfect solution for landscape managers and lawn care operators seeking to eliminate certain nuisance weeds from weed-prone areas throughout the season. Applications to cracks and crevices, along fences and foundations, around and within mulched beds of well established plants, and throughout gravel areas eliminates existing weeds and prevents the growth of many others. ProDeuce™ reduces the cost and damage associated with mechanical trimmers and decreases labor inputs.

“Nufarm has discovered a method to combine the herbicide active ingredients of prodiamine and glyphosate into one convenient product,” says Sean Casey, Vice President of Sales, Turf & Ornamental, “…this innovation leads the market in bringing together two herbicide technologies that are well known and trusted individually within our industry, but never before have been available in a complete and convenient end-use formulation.” Casey adds, “Feedback from our customers and the market has been exciting with the anticipation of a new management tool that will reduce the need for multiple ‘weeding’ applications throughout the season.”
ProDeuce™ is available in 8x64 oz. cases through Nufarm’s distribution partners nationwide. The state registration process is currently underway. Please contact your local Nufarm representative for the current status and availability in your area (www.turf.us.nufarm.com).
