Interfarm UK to market five more products for Bayer CropScience

Under a new exclusive marketing arrangement, Interfarm UK Ltd will be marketing five more crop protection products, including the potato herbicide Sencorex and the cereal herbicide Sekator, on behalf of Bayer CropScience.

"The five new products that we are pleased to be adding to our growing product portfolio are the cereal herbicides Attribut (propoxycarbozone-sodium) and Sekator (amidosulfuron and iodosulfuron), the potato herbicide Sencorex (metribuzin) and two cereal fungicides Veto F (tebuconazole and triadimenol) and Thyme (tebuconazole and spiroxamine). These are in addition to the grassland herbicide Squire Ultra (amidosulfuron) and slug pellet Cobra (methiocarb) that we are already marketing. Acquiring these important products is a testament to our growing prominence in the UK market and our strong affiliation with Sumitomo Chemical Company," explains John Martin, MD for Interfarm UK Ltd.

Peter Stacey, Campaign Manager for Bayer CropScience, explains that this arrangement is part of their ongoing development of existing distribution arrangements within Europe with Sumitomo Chemical, the majority share-holder of Interfarm. "This partnership we believe maintains accessibility to Bayer’s existing market-leading range of crop protection solutions, whilst also allowing Bayer greater focus on developing our expanding range of new and innovative products."
