Crop protection firm launches new offering

HELM Agro US, Inc., Tampa, Florida, has launched four new crop protection products.

In total, HELM now has 19 crop protection products in its U.S. portfolio for the row crop, specialty crop and horticultural markets. 

Argos Ultra herbicide is a co-formulation of metolachlor and mesotrione, two active ingredients known for efficacious weed control and long-lasting residual. Approved on field corn, sweet corn, yellow popcorn and grain sorghum, Argos Ultra combats hard to manage grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. It also defeats weed biotypes resistant to glyphosate, ALS-inhibiting, PPO and triazine herbicides. 

Argos Ultra contains 3.76 pounds of metolachlor and 0.33 pounds of mesotrione per gallon, and is available in 2 x 2.5-gallon cases. 

Quiz herbicide is a single-pass tool for controlling annual and perennial grasses on soybeans, cotton, canola, dry beans, sugar beets, sunflowers and other crops, plus non-crop areas. 

As a bonus to soybean growers, the product will control volunteer corn in glyphosate-tolerant soybeans.

Quiz herbicide is available in 2 x 2.5-gallon cases and contains 0.88 pounds of the active ingredient, quizalofop-P-ethyl, per gallon. 

Helmet herbicide and Helmet SPC herbicide are Helm’s new metolachlor offerings for grass and small-seeded broadleaf control in corn, cotton, sorghum, potatoes, soybeans, tomatoes and other crops. 

Available in emulsifiable concentrate formulations, Helmet and Helmet SPC can be applied alone or in a planned two-pass program. Helmet herbicide contains 7.8 pounds of metolachlor plus benoxacor safener per gallon. Helmet SPC herbicide contains 8 pounds of metolachlor without safener per gallon. Both products are packaged in 2 x 2.5-gallon cases and 270-gallon totes.
