New Half Rate Bumper^® Registration

Calgary, AB (March 28, 2011) – Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. (MANA) announces a new registration for Bumper fungicide. Bumper can now be used at half rate as a preventative measure. This means growers can get reliable disease prevention at a fair price.

Bumper contains the same active ingredient as Tilt^®. In addition to MANA’s fair pricing advantage, Bumper offers the efficiency and convenience of more acres per jug. One 4.8-litre jug of Bumper covers 40 acres at full rate and 80 acres at the new preventative half rate. By comparison, one jug of Tilt treats only 25 acres at full rate or 50 acres at half rate.

Bumper can be used in a variety of crops to treat or prevent leaf diseases including rusts, scalds, net and spot blotches, tan spots, blackleg, Septoria spots and blotches, frogeye, blights and many other diseases. Propiconazole, Bumper’s active ingredient, has treated more North American acres than any other cereal fungicide.

Bumper’s active ingredient is part of the triazole family of fungicides. The triazole family exhibits lower potential of resistance, and research shows that propiconazole specifically can promote higher yields in many crops.
