Ladder takes wheat and durum to new heights!

Calgary, AB (Nov 30, 2009)—MANA Canada (Makhteshim Agan of North America, Canada Ltd.), is proud to announce the registration of Ladder™, its newest herbicide. With clodinafop-propargyl, the same active as Horizon^®, Ladder takes grassy weed control to new heights.

"We are very excited about Ladder. Its active provides the base for a tremendous herbicide that farmers know and trust," said Dale N. Kushner, Commercial Business Manager for MANA Canada. "There are two manufacturers of the clodinafop active in Canada, MANA and Syngenta. That means Ladder is the only true competitor to Syngenta and private label clodinafop products in the marketplace."

Ideal for spring wheat and durum, Ladder is tank-mixable with nearly 30 broadleaf herbicides giving growers great value in broad-spectrum control.
