Nufarm Americas has acquired Cleary Chemical Corp., a marketer of fungicides, insecticides and plant growth regulators. The acquisition will result in a stronger product offering for Nufarm, which is currently the third-largest plant protection supplier in the turf and ornamental market.

Nufarm is a market leader in selective herbicides and has a substantial insecticide offering. Cleary's extensive portfolio of fungicide brands will boost Nufarm’s market presence and make it an even more attractive supplier, it says.
