New fungicide, insecticide and herbicide greenhouse and nursery solutions will help growers “Sail to Success” – the theme of Nufarm’s Cultivate exhibit and Caribbean cruise giveaway.
July 7, 2025 – Morrisville, NC – Nufarm continues to innovate new disease, insect and weed solutions for greenhouse and nursery growers with new and upcoming products at Cultivate ’25 in Columbus, Ohio.
- OpteraPro™ & OpteraPro DUO™ Insecticides*− provide long-lasting protection against a wide range of insects, including foliar pests like aphids, clearwing and peachtree borers, lace bugs, leaf-feeding caterpillars, sawfly larvae, adult Japanese beetles, and soil-dwelling white grubs. OpteraPro® DUO GC Insecticide is a non-neonic, dual-action solution adding powerful broad-spectrum contact and systemic control of more than 39 pests.
- Simpell™ Insecticide* − a potent and broad activity biological insecticide used against many different types of foliar pests, including caterpillars, thrips, mites, beetles, flies and fleas. Simpell is strongest against pests that are traditionally the hardest to control and prone to resistance, including beetles, thrips, spider mites and annual bluegrass weevil.
- Ensemble™ Fungicide* − a four-way broad-spectrum protectant and systemic fungicide developed as a “first response” for a variety of root, stem and foliar diseases on a wide range of ornamental plants, including annual and perennial flowers, bedding plants, foliage plants, ground covers, deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs.
- ChampION++ Fungicide / Bactericide – delivers the smallest, most consistent copper ions (particles) of any WG copper formulation for superior coverage and disease control. OMRI-listed ChampION++ performs with less environmental load than high dose copper products.
- SureGuard® Xtra Herbicide − a powerful dual-active knockdown solution, with one application providing up to eight months of residual pre-emerge control, to help manage weed resistance for container and field-grown nurseries.
“Collaborations with growers, industry experts, and distributor partners are critical to the development of Nufarm innovations, including several important upcoming tools like Ensemble, OpteraPro DUO and Simpell,” said Nufarm Ornamental Segment Lead, Heidi Warner. “We are excited to release these solutions in 2025 to assist greenhouses and nurseries with their crop protection challenges.”

- What is New at Nufarm – New Tools for Insect and Disease Management at 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 13, and at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, July 14.
