BASF Corporation introduced an exciting new fungicide technology to the agricultural media during a seminar held at Busch Gardens prior to the kickoff of the 2011 Commodity Classic in Tampa.

BASF used the latest in video technology to introduce the newest in fungicide technology by kicking off the seminar with a 3-D presentation that used high-tech animation to explain how it works. Not only cool, but informative – and their 3-D glasses are WAY better than the kind you get at the theater!

We’ll have lots more details on Xemium, but here’s the bottom line. According to the research, Xemium has high intrinsic activity, long-lasting residual control, consistent distribution in the plant for preventative and curative effects, and broad spectrum control. Like Kixor herbicide, Xemium is a technology that will be used in a number of new fungicide products for a variety of different crops. BASF is hoping for approval by early 2012.

More to come!
