Grain company Viterra (formerly Sask Wheat Pool) has announced the introduction of its first self-branded crop protection product for Western Canadian farmers.
Cypress, a herbicide offered exclusively through Viterra, is a new option for spring wheat and durum growers in the brown and dark brown soil zones.
“We are very excited to launch Cypress. This is a product that reflects our Company’s commitment to provide our farm customers with innovation and excellence in agriculture, and to support them with products tailored specifically to their need,” says Doug Wonnacott, Senior Vice-President of Agri-products.

Viterra says Cypress is a cost-effective, solid performer that will help our farm customers manage their bottom line and take advantage of new bundling opportunities.
Based on the Syngneta herbicides Horizon and Target, Cypress provides control of grassy weeds such as wild oats and green foxtail, and will control many of the challenging problem weeds found in brown soil areas.
Viterra customers who have a 2008 production contract for AC Navigator Durum will be eligible for a special Loyalty Payment when they purchase Cypress. All marketing, sales and support of Cypress will be provided by Viterra.
