Nufarm Americas Inc. announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued a Section 3 registration for Credit Xtreme herbicide, a new high-load glyphosate formulation.
Credit Xtreme features Dual Salt Technology, a patented blend of potassium and IPA glyphosate salts developed by Nufarm. This technology makes Credit Xtreme the only Roundup equivalent formulation load offering 4.5 pounds of glyphosate acid per gallon in a fully loaded product, the company said. And, Nufarm says this formulation offers better compatibility with phenoxy herbicides than Roundup brands.
Dunk Porterfield, Ph.D., Nufarm product development manager, said Nufarm’s Dual Salt Technology offers many advantages over and above powerful performance, from handling and mixing to improved compatibility with phenoxy amine formulations.
Credit Xtreme herbicide also treats more acres per gallon with no need for additional surfactants, although customers may still add proprietary products as locally determined. It is approved for use on a number of Roundup Ready crops.
Credit Xtreme will be available in limited quantities for the 2009 growing season. Growers interested in using the product are urged to contact their local crop protection distributor for availability.
