Nufarm Announces Plan to Retire Amitrol Herbicide Brand in Canada

AustraliaNufarm Canada is retiring one of its hard-working burndown herbicides as newer products offer solutions for growers in Western Canada. Amitrol (Group 11) is a pre-seed burndown registered for weed control prior to cereals, canola and soybeans.
Amitrol 240 has been widely known as a “go-to” product for growers struggling with glyphosate-resistant canola and other tough-to-kill weeds such as cleavers and dandelion. The exceptional control of horsetail, clover and alfalfa has made Amitrol a favourite choice for pasture renovations.
“We have made an independent decision to stop manufacturing Amitrol at the end of this year,” says Grant Deveson, Commercial Manager for Western Canada with Nufarm Agriculture Inc. “We are replacing it with our newer chemistry products including BlackHawk®, Conquer®, GoldWing® and Valtera® for pre-seed weed control in cereals, canola, pulses and soybeans.”
Amitrol will be available from Nufarm until July 2016. Existing inventories of Amitrol will be available through retailers in Canada until all current stock is sold. A registration expiry date has not been established, therefore retailers are able to sell and growers are able to use Amitrol until all channel inventory is exhausted. Growers are encouraged to contact their local retailer about availability.
