Off-patent herbicide maker Nufarm has launched a new line of wild oat and broadleaf herbicide combinations for use in spring what and durum crops.
Using the Group 1 active ingredient clodinafop — which is from the “fop” group of ag chemicals and is also an active ingredient in products such as DuPont’s Harmony and Syngenta’s Horizon — Nufarm has rolled out a line of products including Signal, Signal D and Signal M.
Signal contains the fop ingredient, while Signal M is a co-pack of clodinafop with its group 4 MCPA product Mextrol, for grass, wild buckwheat and broadleaf control, the company said.

Bargain buying and short covering lifted U.S. corn futures on Monday after the market slid to contract lows on expectations for strong U.S. output, traders said.
Signal D, meanwhile, includes Signal’s Group 1 fop co-packaged with Nufarm’s Group 6 bromoxynil product Approve, for “broad-spectrum grass and
broadleaf control and also provides proven control of kochia.”
Signal M and Signal D are available in both 20-acre cases and 400-acre bulk packs, while Signal is available in a 40-acre case, the company said in a recent release.
“All three formulations of Signal provide superior wild oat and wild millet control, plus the co-packs Signal D and Signal M provide outstanding broadleaf weed performance, excellent crop safety, ease of use and a wide window of application,” said Grant Deveson, a commercial manager with Nufarm’s Canadian office in Calgary, in the company’s release.
