There are a whole lot of announcements coming out on new products. Maybe it’s just that time of year but there’s more than I can remember in quite some time. Take the latest from BASF. They just received registration for Regent TS, a corn seed treatment for key pests.

With the registration of Regent® TS insecticide, a new corn seed treatment with the active ingredient fipronil, corn growers in the United States
have access to an important new tool to protect their crops from key insect pests. Regent TS controls wireworm, seed corn maggot and grape colaspis and suppresses grubs, flea beetles and thrips. “Protecting the seed and young plants from pests is increasingly important to today’s corn grower,” says Roy Lee Carter, Seed Treatment Business Manager with BASF.
