In 2015 cotton growers have some new tools courtesy of Nufarm. These include Cheetah and Cheetah Max.
Presenting at the Cotton Crop Consultants Conference for NuFarm was Jerome Kovar. Jerome is a marketing manager for the company and we sat down to discuss what Nufarm is doing in cotton with these new herbicide options. Here’s a quick description:
Cheetah™ utilizes a novel mode of action to better protect your high-value TNVV crops from weed competition including triazine, ALS, and glyphosate resistant weeds. This fast, effective, non-selective herbicide will let you focus more on profitability and less on weeds.
Cheetah™ Max uses two leading active ingredients in a dual-mode formulation to quickly eliminate the toughest weeds – even those resistant to glyphosate. Cheetah Max provides fast and effective preplant control – killing weeds in days instead of weeks, virtually eliminating weed competition from day one.
Jerome says these products will provide growers with some tools to address the growing weed resistance problem. He says they’re building on a different different glufosinate strategy than other companies.
