ADAMA Unveils Temper™ More

ADAMA Ltd., a prominent player in the global crop protection sector, has recently announced the registration of its new herbicide, Temper™ More, in the United States. This state-of-the-art herbicide aims to aid farmers in managing their weed control issues more effectively, particularly against herbicide-resistant varieties that have proliferated across various agricultural landscapes.

Tackling Herbicide Resistance

The challenge of herbicide resistance has become an urgent concern for U.S. farmers. Many traditional treatments, particularly glyphosate, are increasingly ineffective, necessitating repeated applications that not only escalate costs but also complicate logistics and heighten the possibility of crop damage, which could inadvertently lead to reduced yields.

Temper™ More offers a viable solution to these persistent issues, boasting a dual-action formula that includes S-Metolachlor and Glufosinate-ammonium. These two active ingredients operate through different mechanisms, making Temper™ More a strategic tool for combating glyphosate-resistant weeds. It effectively targets a broad spectrum of stubborn weeds, including notorious offenders like pigweed, morningglory, and waterhemp.

Enhanced Efficiency and Long-Term Benefits

One of the standout features of Temper™ More is its ability to deliver excellent burndown properties alongside extended residual activity. This characteristic not only gives crops such as soybean, corn, and cotton a healthier head start but also allows farmers to reduce the number of herbicide applications needed throughout the season. Consequently, this leads to significant time and cost savings for agricultural producers.

Moreover, Temper™ More plays a crucial role in preserving the efficacy of herbicide-tolerant systems such as Dicamba and 2,4-D. Its flexible application window is especially advantageous for growers utilizing glufosinate-resistant crops, therefore alleviating some of the in-season pressures that can arise during critical growth phases.

Advanced Formulation Technology

The effectiveness of Temper™ More is attributed to ADAMA's proprietary Sesgama® Formulation Technology, which facilitates the stable and straightforward combination of S-Metolachlor and Glufosinate-ammonium. This innovative formulation, enhanced with a proprietary polymeric surfactant, assures optimal performance and straightforward application for farmers.

Germain Boulay, Head of Global Herbicides and Molluscicides at ADAMA, expressed enthusiasm about the product, stating, "Temper More is a leap forward for U.S. farmers in the fight against herbicide-resistant weeds. It gives growers a smarter, more flexible tool to manage resistance and plan their season with greater confidence. By combining powerful burndown and lasting residual activity, Temper More restores control and predictability to weed management."

Proven Results

ADAMA has conducted numerous trials across key agricultural regions to demonstrate the efficacy of Temper™ More. Results have shown that it outperforms standard applications of glufosinate or glyphosate, particularly in early post-emergence scenarios. Its effectiveness against difficult-to-control weeds like waterhemp highlights its potential to be a game-changer in weed management strategies for farmers facing these daunting pests.
