05 August 2024, New Delhi: Syngenta India has announced the launch of two crop protection products – Miravis®️ Duo and Reflect®️ Top, designed to revolutionize crop protection and ensure quality output for farmers across India.
Miravis® Duo for Tomato, Chili, Groundnut, and Grape
Miravis® Duo (AI: Difenoconazole 125 g/L + Pydiflumetofen 75 g/L), powered by ADEPIDYN® technology, is a fungicide approved for use in Tomato, Chili, Groundnut, and Grape. It offers exceptional control over diseases such as Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, and Leaf Spots.
It is estimated that farmers worldwide lose up to 23 percent of their crops to fungal diseases each year. Miravis® Duo offers reliable disease protection, allowing farmers better quality yield resulting in a significant increase on the return on investment.
This product also has an excellent sustainability profile, as the effectiveness and long-lasting activity of the technology enables low use rates and potentially fewer sprays especially in leaf spot diseases, while safeguarding beneficial organisms.
Reflect®️ Top for Rice
Reflect®️ Top (AI: Isopyrazam 11.5% w/w + Difenoconazole 11.5% w/w SC), featuring Double Binding Technology, is a specialized fungicide tailored for rice, a staple food in India. It provides effective defence against Sheath Blight, ensuring prolonged disease control and a robust crop foundation. It addresses the unique needs of Indian farmers, supporting healthier and more productive rice fields.
Mr Susheel Kumar, Country Head and Managing Director of Syngenta India Pvt Ltd, while expressing his happiness at the launch, said: “At Syngenta, we are committed to transforming agriculture by offering advanced solutions to growers’ challenges. The timely launch of Miravis®️ Duo and Reflect®️ Top shows our dedication to innovation and commitment.”
“Syngenta India continues to push the boundaries of agricultural technology, equipping farmers with the tools they need to increase productivity and promote a balanced agricultural environment. We are confident that Miravis®️ Duo and Reflect®️ Top will set new standards in crop protection for the farmers,” he added.
Kumar further said that the unique double-binding technology of Reflect® Top offers robust and long-lasting protection from sheath blight. It provides a clean, green and healthy stem.
“It ensures enhanced bio-efficacy and longevity against rice sheath blight. It is a state-of-the-art solution that offers peace of mind to the rice growers by providing a robust crop foundation. With Reflect® Top rice farmers can achieve optimal crop health during the vegetative crop stage for better further crop development.”
Reflecting further about Miravis®Duo, Kumar said that this product is not only a game changer for chilli crops. “It is a broad-spectrum solution that shields multiple crop types from many diseases, including powdery mildew, leaf spots & anthracnose.”
He revealed that initially expected to cover four key crops in India – chilis, tomatoes, groundnuts and grapes – such is the effectiveness of the product that it will likely be rolled out to cover dozens more. Providing India’s growers with reliable disease control solutions will help bolster local economies and export markets, as chili vegetables alone make up more than a third of the country’s total spice exports, he said.
The value of India’s red chili exports hit a record $1.5 billion in the last financial year, up 15 percent on the year prior. India is also the second largest producer of tomatoes in the world; however, the country’s tropical climate can increase disease pressures.
