Etigra has acquired the DuPont Super Boll® brand ethephon trademark, registration and assets, as well as the DuPont FreeFall® brand thidiazuron cotton defoliation trademark.

"This agreement allows us to narrow our focus to bringing our latest innovations to the agriculture marketplace,” said Jim Collins, vice president and general manager, DuPont Crop Protection. “We are seeing very strong interest in new products in our pipeline, such as DuPont™ Altacor™, Coragen™ and Prevathon™ insecticides based on our Rynaxypyr™ chemistry. We also are excited about our new weed control options such as the recently registered Agility™ herbicide for wheat, and Enlite™ and Envive™ herbicides for soybeans.”

“These acquisitions are perfect additions to our product line-up for cotton growers,” said Randy Canady, Etigra chief operating officer. “We are committed to growing our business to help our distributor customers continue to offer growers access to the crop-protection tools they’ve come to rely upon.”
