Nufarm Introduces Precinct Seed Treatment

Jul 14, 2021

Nufarm Americas Inc. is pleased to announce the EPA registration of Precinct Seed Treatment, for control of downy mildew, Pythium spp., and Phytopthora spp on more than 50 labeled crops, including corn, cotton, and soybeans.

Precinct moves systemically into plants, leading to uniform distribution within the plant and less leaching or loss due to soil binding. Plus, it is stable under varying conditions, offers lower use rates than other mefenoxam products, and can be used alone or in combination with other seed treatment products for optimum flexibility.

“Precinct’s AI concentration, stability, and broad labeled crops list make it an integral component of our strategy and portfolio quality.

Video: Democratizing Gene Editing - Pairwise’s Vision for the Future of Agriculture

Pairwise has built its business around an idea that runs counter to how many companies approach innovation: make transformative technology easier to access.

In this Seed World interview, CEO Tom Adams discusses why broader access to gene editing could speed crop improvement, expand innovation opportunities and help agriculture address emerging challenges. He explains why Pairwise believes no single company can solve all of agriculture's problems alone—and why making advanced breeding technologies available to more organizations could accelerate progress across the industry.

The conversation explores how consumer trust influences technology adoption, why innovations like pitless cherries and seedless blackberries matter beyond convenience, and how future crop improvements could help address labor shortages, automation, harvest efficiency and other production challenges. Adams also shares his perspective on what the industry may be underestimating about the next wave of gene editing innovation.

Watch the full interview to hear why Pairwise believes agriculture is approaching an important inflection point for gene editing, and why the pace of innovation over the next decade could surprise the industry.

Topics Covered:

o Democratizing agricultural innovation

o Consumer trust and technology adoption

o The business case for sharing innovation

o Expanding innovation beyond major crops

o Next-generation breeding technologies
