Pune: Syngenta India introduced two groundbreaking crop protection products, Miravis Duo and Reflect Top, aimed at enhancing the quality of output for farmers across India.

Miravis Duo, powered by the advanced ADEPIDYN technology, is a state-of-the-art fungicide approved for use on tomatoes, chilies, groundnuts, and grapes.

It provides exceptional control over diseases such as Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, and Leaf Spots, ensuring farmers can achieve higher quality produce with its robust and broad-spectrum disease control.

Susheel Kumar, Country Head and Managing Director of Syngenta India Pvt Ltd, stated, "Reflect Top provides robust and long-lasting protection against sheath blight in rice. It ensures enhanced bio-efficacy and longevity against rice sheath blight, providing a clean, green, and healthy stem."

Kumar noted its broad-spectrum capabilities, which make it a game-changer for crops like chilies. "Initially expected to cover four key crops in India—chilies, 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."

India's red chili exports hit a record $1.5 billion in the last financial year, up 15 percent from the previous year. Additionally, India is the second-largest producer of tomatoes globally, though the country's tropical climate increases disease pressures.

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.
