UPL Ltd. has expanded its Canadian herbicide portfolio with the addition of SELECT PLUS, a superior solution for tough-to-beat weeds in canola, pulses, and soybeans.
- SELECT® PLUS is a selective herbicide, all-in-one formulation, for post-emergence control of a broad range of annual and perennial weeds in canola, pulses, and soybeans
Guelph, ON, July 17, 2023 - UPL Ltd. (NSE: UPL & BSE: 512070 LSE: UPLL) (‘UPL’), a global leader in sustainable agriculture solutions, has expanded its Canadian herbicide portfolio with the addition of SELECT PLUS, a superior solution for tough-to-beat weeds in canola, pulses, and soybeans. It provides growers with a new all-in-one formulation that includes quizaolfop-p-ethyl for improved tank mixing capability.
SELECT PLUS can be used alone or combined in a tank mix with a fertilizer or a mixing-compatible supplement, making the herbicide an incredibly flexible and practical product. Following the treatment, targeted weeds will exhibit reduced growth, accompanied by yellowing and browning of the tissue, eventually leading to the complete elimination of the unwanted grasses.
Jon Gough, Canada Portfolio Marketing Lead for UPL, said: “When formulating this herbicide, we kept grower challenges top of mind. Weeds are competing with crops for light, water, and nutrients, and attracting more insects and diseases, threatening crop health and yields. The addition of quizaolfop-p-ethyl ensures SELECT PLUS can improve growers’ ability to tackle hard-to-kill, post-emergent annual and perennial grasses - stopping the weeds in their tracks. We’re pleased to expand our offering for the Canadian market and equipping more growers with effective, innovative solutions to produce healthy, resilient, and abundant crops.”
UPL will be exhibiting how SELECT PLUS can enhance herbicide efforts at Canada’s largest outdoor farm expo Ag in Motion in Saskatoon, July 18 – 20, 2023. UPL’s booth will be located at the corner of Centre Street and Manitoba Drive (Booth 417) where attendees can learn more about UPL’s OpenAg commitment and discuss demonstrations of SELECT PLUS in action with on-site plot tours.
