Netherlands approves Arysta's Centurion® Plus herbicide

Following the full inclusion of Clethodim in Europe, Arysta LifeScience recently announced the complete registration of CENTURION® PLUS Herbicide(Clethodim 120 g/l) in the Netherlands.

Distribution rights were granted to Certis Europe B.V. The company specializes in the development, registration, marketing and sales of biological and chemical pesticides used in agriculture and horticulture.

CENTURION PLUS is a ready-to-use emulsion concentrate based on the active ingredient Clethodim (120 g/l), which belongs to the Dims family. The CENTURION PLUS formulation ensures quick product penetration and controls grasses in broad-leaved crops. CENTURION PLUS is registered in more than 10 crops, including potatoes, beets, winter rapeseed, beans with pods (uncovered cultivation), pea pods (uncovered cultivation), head brassica, carrots, seed onions, first year bulb onions, second year bulb onions, shallots and garlic.

With this new registration, Arysta LifeScience now brings a significant and important contribution to optimize the management of grasses in crop rotation.

Christophe Sepulchre de Condé, Herbicide Product Manager for Europe, outlines advantages of this product: “CENTURION PLUS is a very broad-spectrum herbicide, acting against key annuals and perennials grasses including the one resistant to Fops, allowing farmers to control meadow grass effciently. Registered in more than 20 countries in Europe, Clethodim is still in a growing phase and is an efficient tool for farmers.”

In the aim to continue the development of Clethodim on the Netherlands market, Arysta LifeScience currently is working on label extensions to optimize the use of CENTURION PLUS, including sugar beet LDS, flower bulbs and vegetables.
