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.
