CFT Legumine™                      In association with CWE Properties

We are pleased to announce the registration of a new liquid 5% rotenone formulation, CFT Legumine™.  Although new to the United States , CFT Legumine™ has been used in Europe for fish management for over a decade.  The country of Norway uses CFT Legumine™ to treat large rivers for eradicating the ecoparasite Gyrodactylus salaries on Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts.  In comparison to conventional rotenone formulations on the market today, CFT Legumine™ has several advantages, including a special emulsifier and solvent package that reduces the presence of petroleum hydrocarbon solvents.  The petroleum hydrocarbon solvents that are present in conventional rotenone formulations have strong chemical odors, and often there are applicator, public health and water quality concerns that affect the public’s acceptance of rotenone.  CFT Legumine™ was designed with the goal of reducing or eliminating petroleum hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene, xylene, benzene and naphthalene.  By reducing these petroleum solvents, we have been able to reduce many of the negative properties inherent with the conventional liquid formulations on the market today.  CFT Legumine™ is virtually odor-free, and retains its efficacy without the use of any synergist.

In laboratory trials conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game in 2002, CFT Legumine™ had essentially identical efficacy to the conventional liquid 5% rotenone formulation on rainbow trout fry at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 2.0 ppm formulation. The California Department of Fish and Game in 2003 has used CFT Legumine™ to treat ponds to eradicate common carp (Cyprinus carpio), brown bullhead (Amerianus nebulosus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), channel catfish (Amerianus punctatus), goldfish (Carassius auratus), bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus).  The California Department of Fish and Game also plans to use CFT Legumine™ in stream treatments for the restoration of native cutthroat trout.
