The insecticide Counter® (Terabethiophosphorus), a pioneer company in the United States, was published in Brazil

Pioneer, Inc. (AMVAC) announced that its Brazilian subsidiary has received registration for nematocides Counter® for use in Brazilian soybeans. Counter is a proven, market-leading selective soil nematocide for effective control of nematode infestation. Counter can be applied in combination with other products to achieve optimal pest control management.

Vitor Cunha, CEO of AMVAC Brazil, said: "The survey results show that Counter has excelled in technical performance and volume improvements, features that will ultimately translate into improved profitability for users. "AMVAC Brazil and its distributor partners are ready to provide services to meet the growing demand for this critical nematode control solution."

Eric Wintemute, Chairman and CEO of Pioneer, commented, "Counter is one of Pioneer's premier soil insecticide products, and AMVAC is committed to expanding the use of Counter internationally. This registration in Brazil is closely related to the application of our SIMPAS precision application technology. The economic and environmental benefits of this directional deposition system, which provides sustainable growth protection and nutrient requirements for the crop, will increase profit margins for soybean, corn, cotton and sugarcane growers."
