Nufarm Launches New Insecticides to Protect Crops from Yield-Robbing Pests

Nufarm Americas Inc. has secured EPA registration for two formulations of their chlorantraniliprole insecticide products, Naxypro and Naxypro Plus, now that the active ingredient has come off patent. Chlorantraniliprole is widely known for effective, long-lasting control of lepidopteran pests, the company said in a press statement. European corn borer, armyworms, cutworms, codling moth, and pink bollworm are examples of yield-robbing lepidopteran insects.

Nufarm is a global crop protection and seed technologies company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.

“The Naxypro insecticide portfolio opens the door to channel partners seeking a technical alternative,” said Jeff Wagner, VP of Sales, Crop Protection at Nufarm. “It’s a win for growers across crop markets who need access to dependable chlorantraniliprole solutions with economic upside now, as well as formulation strides that add advantage in years to come.”
