Etigra Acquires DuPont Cotton Brands
Mar. 2, 2008
Etigra has acquired the DuPont Super Boll® brand ethephon trademark, registration, and assets, as well as the DuPont FreeFall® brand thidiazuron cotton defoliation trademark.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The DuPont amad-enhanced ethephon brands, CottonQuick® and FirstPick™, were not included in the assets sale.
"These acquisitions are perfect additions to our product line-up for cotton growers," says Randy Canady, Etigra chief operating officer. "
Super Boll brand ethephon is a single active ingredient plant growth regulator, used primarily to accelerate the opening of mature cotton bolls and to enhance defoliation for earlier harvest in cotton. It is also used to promote early, uniform yellowing in mature tobacco to reduce curing time.
FreeFall is used for removal of leaves prior to harvesting and also inhibits regrowth after defoliation.
