More importantly, products will enter this market segment offering additional resistance management tools to growers. We see growing emphasis on resistance management from manufacturers, distributors and researchers. It is critical to the success of our industry that we keep as many rotational tools as possible available to our growers for managing pests. COMMUNICATING OUR MESSAGE Chemtura relies heavily upon direct contact from our sales organization. It is the face-to-face discussion that often means the difference between a grower deciding to use our product versus someone else's. In these specialty crop markets we are also able to use highly targeted, vertical print media and targeted direct marketing efforts to raise or maintain our brands' awareness to growers, as well as our distributor/dealer target audiences. Making the most of our sales force means Chemtura has to work smarter as well as rely on field experts such as consultants and extension researchers to share their experiences with our products. by Mike Dupre, Mkt Mgr, Trees, Fruits & Vines |
