During the NAFB Trade Talk session I got a chance to learn more about SipcamAdvan with George Hackman, Development Manager (not pictured). This photo is of their Trade Talk booth which was busy with another interview.
George says that SipcamAdvan is based in Durham, NC with a full lineup of traditional chemistries that includes herbicides and fungicides. He says they’re looking to move into “biorational” products. These are “living organisms that we take from one part of the soil and develop into a product that can be applied to combat a specific pest, in agriculture and turf & ornamental.” An example of a product they’re working on now is Contans, a soybean product to treat white mold. George says these products are safe for the environment and the user and require less labeling requirements.
