Helm Agro US, part of major German marketing group Helm, has signed an agreement to acquire BASF’s Extreme herbicide for an undisclosed sum.

The herbicide, a premix of glyphosate and imazethapyr, is designed to control more than 50 broadleaf and grass weeds in Roundup Ready soybeans, Clearfield corn and Roundup Ready alfalfa.

“Extreme herbicide continues to be a well-recognized and important weed control tool among US growers. Extreme is highly complementary to the organization's portfolio and aligned with Helm's strategy in providing solutions that enable growers to successfully manage weed control with improved return on their investment,” said Jan Stechmann, president of Helm Agro US.

Ulrich Schöfl, Helm’s global executive portfolio manager, added that the company is seeking new opportunities to expand its global portfolio through acquisitions and future product entries from its development pipeline.
