BRA Agroquímica launches herbicide Derrete in Brazil

BRA Agroquímica has revealed to AgroPages the launch of the herbicide, Derrete (Metsulfuron Methyl), in Brazil.

According to the manufacturer, Derrete is a product developed for the pre-emergence and post-emergence control of weeds in pastures and other crops.

BRA Agroquímica said that the herbicide can be used during pre-emergence for weed control in sugarcane, and post-emergence in pastures and other crops.

Derrete follows the successful launch, in 2022, of the herbicide, Trytor (Triclopir), which is used for weed management in irrigated rice and pasture crops.

In addition to these new releases, BRA revealed to AgroPages that it still has several other products with formulations that are ready to enter the registration queue and may reach the Brazilian market soon.

Among these are mixtures of fluroxypir, triclopir, and aminopyralid, which are products mainly used for controlling weeds.

Thinking beyond the pasture segment, which is BRA’s focus, the company currently has 20 specialty products already submitted for the entire Brazilian agricultural production, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.

BRA is one of the few 100% Brazilian capital companies involved in the agricultural pesticide market and has been operating since 2004, with its products being distributed and sold through a network of customers and strategic partners.

″The company focuses on offering its customers innovative, efficient, and cost-effective solutions to help better develop Brazilian agribusiness,″ BRA said.

To formulate these quality products, the company said it established various partnerships with internationally renowned manufacturers with "highly skilled and specialized teams."

″With the opening of two new branches last year and the launch of new products, BRA has proven that it constantly invests in its evolution and the development of new products to expand its portfolio and make cost-effective solutions available to its customers,″ the Brazilian company said in conclusion.
