Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc. Receives Label Approval On Metam Potassium

Phoenix - Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc. (TKI) announced the Environmental Protection Agency approval for its metam potassium label, an alternative to methyl bromide. This metam potassium soil fumigant will be marketed under the trade name Sectagon-K54. Sectagon-K54, a soil fumigant solution for all crops, may be applied by chemigation, soil injection or soil bedding equipment to suppress and/or control soil-borne pests which attack ornamentals, food and fiber crops. Because Sectagon-K54 contains potassium and is sodium free, it is recommended for use in crops that benefit from potassium and in high sodium and high pH soils. Thus far, Sectagon-K54 has received state registration in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Utah, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia and South Carolina.

Sectagon-K54 is available to growers for use this season through TKI's distributor network.

This new product will join Sectagon 42 (metam sodium), a soil fumigant, currently marketed by TKI through its distribution in North America.
