Syngenta India, a leading agri-tech company, has announced the launch of two ground-breaking crop protection products - Miravis Duo and Reflect Top, designed to revolutionize crop protection and ensure quality output for farmers across the country. Miravis Duo, powered by ADEPIDYN ️ technology, is a cutting-edge fungicide approved for use in Tomato, Chili, Groundnut, and Grape. It offers exceptional control over diseases such as Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, and Leaf Spots. With its power, stamina, and broad-spectrum disease control, Miravis Duo ensures farmers can achieve higher quality produce.
Indian growers battling a number of diseases and pests in their crops will have another tool in their arsenal with this effective new fungicide powered by groundbreaking technology. It is estimated that farmers worldwide lose up to 23 percent of their crops to fungal diseases each year. Miravis Duo offers crops robust and reliable disease protection, allowing growers better quality yield resulting in 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, 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 providing a robust crop foundation. It addresses the unique needs of Indian farmers, supporting healthier and more productive rice fields.
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 which 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 different 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.
It is worth mentioning that the value of India’s red chilli exports hit a record $1.5 billion in the last financial year, up 15 per cent 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.
