Nufarm Introduces Mountain Herbicide for Wheat Growers
Nufarm Americas Inc., based in Morrisville, North Carolina, announced Nov. 5 the availability of Mountain herbicide, a flucarbazone-sodium formulation designed to deliver grass and broadleaf weed control in wheat while improving tank-mix performance and handling.
The herbicide, which received Environmental Protection Agency registrations, combines ALS inhibitor technology with a formulation developed for dispersion, flowability and storage stability.
Mountain is a Group 2 herbicide for use in spring and winter wheat. The formulation provides control of key grass weeds, including wild oat, foxtails, barnyard grass, bromes and Italian ryegrass, as well as a range of troublesome broadleaf weeds. The application window extends from the one-leaf stage to 60 days before harvest.
Developed to address mixing and handling difficulties associated with traditional flucarbazone products, Mountain is designed to offer dispersion and solubility, tank-mix compatibility with many broadleaf herbicides and flowability after storage in cold temperatures.
“Mountain represents a meaningful advancement in formulation technology for wheat growers,” said Jeff Wagner, vice president of sales, crop protection at Nufarm. “Growers need products that not only provide proven weed control but also make applications more efficient. Mountain delivers the performance expected from flucarbazone while offering an improved distribution and user experience.”
Mountain complements Nufarm’s commitment to delivering cereal solutions depth, including practical innovations that help growers maximize performance and operational efficiency across every acre.
Mountain is expected to be available in spring 2027. It is registered in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming, with registrations pending in additional states.
