DuPont introduces new PrecisionPac 3.0

DuPont Crop Protection said Wednesday it is launching DuPont PrecisionPac 3.0 herbicides, a redesigned delivery system that dispenses customized herbicide blends.

"Most crop protection products are sold in packaged 40-acre increments, leaving leftover herbicide and packaging to dispose of," DuPont Product Manager Rob McClinton said. "With PrecisionPac®, a grower can purchase a tailored blend to treat, for example, 132 acres. This saves money, reduces unnecessary packaging and decreases the risk of application errors."

The new PrecisionPac 3.0 model incorporates simultaneous product metering such that dispensing works three times faster. PrecisionPac 3.0 possesses a simpler and more intuitive user interface and the ability to troubleshoot wirelessly in real time.

"We expect that the speed, convenience and customization of PrecisionPac 3.0 will attract a lot of interest and acres in 2016," McClinton said.
