Rotam Obtains EPA Registration for Dicamba Expansion

Posted by |6 September 2013

Rotam has acquired an EPA registration for dicamba technical and dicamba 480 SL as part of its global strategy to expand with this molecule in the U.S.

Jean Michel Duhamel, chief commercial officer, explains, “The U.S. market is a key focus for Rotam as it seeks to continue its rapid growth globally. Dicamba is the first of several molecules Rotam will bring to the U.S. market within the next few years. It will be commercialized under the name of Topeka.”

Rotam plans to become one of the leading alternative sources of dicamba in the next decade, which involves being present in key markets like the U.S. and in the EU, where the molecule is already registered and sold. The company is evaluating new dicamba-based mixtures to provide a specialized herbicide solution with stronger agronomic value to maize growers.
