Date:04-10-2018

Atticus introduces four new branded-generic products of relevance to US wheat growers, including value-driven insecticide, herbicide and fungicide options Serpent™ 1 EC, Stark™ Ultra, WhipLash™ and Talaris™ XL.


Serpent™ 1 EC (comparable to Karate®) joins the Atticus insecticide portfolio as a fast-acting lambda-cyhalothrin option for broad-spectrum insect control, delivering immediate knockdown and long-lasting control of damaging pests such as weevils, thrips, grasshoppers and more.  

Stark™ Ultra (comparable to Starane® Ultra) and WhipLash™ (comparable to WideMatch®) join the Atticus quality off-patent herbicide portfolio. Stark Ultra contains fluroxypyr to regulate growth of tough annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including ALS-resistant kochia. WhipLash provides a powerful fluroxypyr and clopyralid combination in a single product for the effective control of more than 60 broadleaf weeds.

Talaris™ XL  (Thiophanate-methyl 23.7% & Propiconazole 7.1%) joins Slant™ 41.8% EC(comparable to Tilt® and Orbit®) and Aquila XL™ (comparable to Quilt XL®) in the Atticus fungicide portfolio of agricultural fungicides. Talaris XL combines the proven reliability of thiophanate-methyl and propiconazole in one convenient application to provide curative and preventive protection against a broad spectrum of crop-damaging diseases to help grows reach yield potential.

Mitch Klann, President, Row Crop and Professional Markets explains, “We’re pleased to bring more relevant off-patent products to wheat growers. Adding yield to every acre, at a value that makes sense, is vital to Atticus and the growers we support.”
