Agrium Announces Alliance with Dow and Syngenta

Agrium Advanced Technologies (AAT) announced the addition of Spread it & Forget it Controlled-Release Fertilizer with Barricade Pre-Emergent Herbicide (480g/L prodiamine) from Syngenta, in addition to Spread it & Forget it with Dimension Specialty Herbicide (dithiopyr) from Dow.

This move brings together three of the Green Industry’s pre-eminent product manufacturers, offering end-users a single-application fertilizer solution impregnated with leading pre-emergent crabgrass herbicide brands.

The resulting new product allows turf professionals to fertilize once up to every six months, while getting industry-leading pre-emergent crabgrass control. The level of efficiency also allows lawn care operators to perform extra tasks on-site, or to finish up on a job site and move to the next site more quickly.
