Posted 9 June 2006. Forage and Grazinglands. New DuPont Cimarron Plus and Cimarron X-tra Herbicides Receive Federal Registration DuPont Wilmington, DE (April 21, 2006) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted federal registration for DuPont™ Cimarron® Plus and Cimarron® X-tra herbicides for pasture and rangeland. Both products provide ranchers with new weed control tools for better forage production – without the grazing restrictions and restricted use issues associated with some other herbicides. Cimarron® Plus provides extended residual control of a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds and brush in a single treatment. According to Lisa Malabad, DuPont product manager, Cimarron® Plus provides longer lasting control and suppression of key broadleaf weeds and woody species, which adds up to fewer treatments over time. Cimarron® X-tra provides ranchers with targeted control of key problem weeds, especially invasive and poisonous species, including many types of thistle. It is non-volatile, which is especially useful for ranchers and applicators treating land that borders sensitive adjacent crops, such as cotton. “These new products are the result of the continuing investment DuPont has made to its Cimarron® family of herbicides for pasture and rangeland,” Malabad said. “Our goal is to help ranchers and pasture managers keep fields clean to optimize forage and, ultimately, improve cattle weight gain per acre. We’re doing this by continually refreshing our product line to address changing weed control needs, as well as by increasing our focus on service and support.” For more information about Cimarron® brand herbicides, visit cimarron.dupont.com, or see your DuPont retailer or representative.
