Illinois Ag Connection - 05/22/2018

BRANDT, a leading manufacturer of specialty products for the agriculture and turf markets, has added six new formulations to its proprietary BRANDT Smart System line of foliar nutrients. The formulations provide fast, effective nutrient delivery and were designed for advanced tank mix compatibility and use with dicamba and 2,4-D herbicides.

"We've spent the last few years developing products that are designed for compatibility and performance in almost any tank mix environment," said Brian Haschemeyer, Director of Discovery and Innovation at BRANDT. "We're pleased to see herbicide manufacturers approving the new BRANDT Smart System foliar products at this stage. This will be very beneficial to our customers that have switched over to the new cropping systems that want to continue using BRANDT nutritionals in their fertility program."
