Compatible with other products, even those of synthetic origin.
Provides the necessary vigor that favors the strengthening of the seedling, during the whole germination and surfacing period
Provides the greatest residual power available in the market
Promotes new more efficient and prolonged defense mechanisms
EMERION® 7700 is a state-of-the art technology and a natural biodegradable product that allows cleaner and more environmentally friendly agricultural activity, therefore, responding to the need for ecological and sustainable agriculture.EMERION® 7700 acts differently from traditional agrochemicals. It moves through the cuticle and cell membranes and lowers the internal pH of plant cells, then minutes later it causes cell membranes to malfunction. Over the next few minutes, cellular ATP and glucose-6-phosphate stores decrease, and there is evidence of membrane dysfunction that eventually leads to cellular leakage, collapse and tissue desiccation. This process visibly affects green tissue in leaves, through the rapid effects of burning, defoliation and eventual destruction of the weed.
Alite 27 herbicide is the first and only group 27 herbicide (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, HPPD) available for use in soybeans as part of the LibertyLink® GT27™ soybean trait system.
Research by Stratus Ag shows that nearly 75 percent of growers nationwide are dealing with glyphosate -resistant weeds in their fields, and of those growers, 58 percent are experiencing resistance to other modes of action. With Alite 27 herbicide, growers will now have a new mode of action for soybeans and another tool to fight weeds in their fields when planting LibertyLink GT27 soybeans.
Sunfire is a residual herbicide for use in winter cereals for the control of black-grass, annual meadow grass and some broad-leaved weeds. A suspension concentrate containing 500 g/litre flufenacet. Unlike other flufenacet products, it can be applied to rye and triticale as well as winter barley and winter wheat so generally in all winter cereals, for both pre- and post-emergence use. Independent trials show control of black-grass, annual meadow grass and some broad-leaved weeds comparing favourably to other flufenacet products.
Altus, containing Flupyradifurone, is a novel insecticide that is a great fit for integrated pest management programs and can be used at any time during the production cycle. With an excellent non-target safety profile, Altus is compatible with many beneficial predators, as well as honey bees and bumble bees.

8. Marrone Bio announces introduction of New Synergistic plant health product available to corn, soybean and wheat growers
Pacesetter™, a bio-based plant health product, can be used on corn, soybean and wheat. Pacesetter acts synergistically with conventional fungicides to improve plant health and vigor, increasing yield by up to seven bushels per acre in soybeans and 13 bushels per acre in corn. The active ingredient in Pacesetter is a plant extract from Reynoutria sachalinensis, a compound that delivers multiple modes of action. When used with conventional fungicides, Pacesetter promotes root growth, and increases chlorophyll production in the crop, resulting in yield increases beyond that of a grower’s standard fungicide program.
