Albaugh announced that the company has received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Maxtron™ 4SC herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 45002-37).

Maxtron™ 4SC contains ethofumesate, a broad-spectrum herbicide for selective control of key weeds, including annual sowthistle, puncturevine, and purple and yellow nutsedge in sugar beets, garlic, onions, and other crops.

Maxtron™ 4SC can be applied using ground or aerial equipment and exhibits excellent handling and storage characteristics.

″This is a highly anticipated addition to Albaugh’s herbicide portfolio,″ said Andy Bogue, Albaugh U.S. Sales Director – Crop Protection. ″Maxtron™ 4SC will give customers, particularly sugar beet growers in the Red River Valley, a new alternative to combat glyphosate-resistant waterhemp in their Roundup Ready^® sugar beets.″

Maxtron™ 4SC will be available through authorized Albaugh distributors for the 2024 growing season.
