Recently, ADAMA SA announced the launch of Forapro®, a new cereal fungicide, in Europe. This product has broad-spectrum sterilization and is suitable for a variety of crops. It is particularly effective in preventing and controlling all major diseases in the early growth stage of wheat - the jointing stage.
Forapro® contains two active ingredients: prothioconazole and fenpropidin. Applying ADAMA's unique Asorbital® formulation technology, it has a remarkable effect when applied to wheat and barley, and can effectively prevent and control early-stage diseases of grain growth such as powdery mildew, scab, and rust.
Forapro®, which is a binary compound made of unique formulation technology, can exert excellent control effects when applied at the jointing stage of wheat, and the effect of preventing and treating disease infections can last until application at the booting stage. With the support of Asorbital® formulation technology, the agent has better leaf penetration, faster absorption, and stronger conductivity, thereby acting on the entire crop, while also preventing the degradation of the agent caused by sunlight. Extensive testing has shown that Forapro® penetrates the leaf cuticle more rapidly than comparable binary tank mixes.
Alex Mills, global head of fungicide products at ADAMA, said: "Farmers are always looking for innovative and efficient fungicides that meet the need for fast action and lower costs so they can increase yields and bring high-quality grains to market. ADAMA launched Forapro® to meet the above needs and respond to farmers' expectations for value innovation. Forapro® can effectively prevent and control leaf blight, yellow rust and powdery mildew during the jointing stage of wheat growth, while increasing crop yields. Because of the product's extraordinary absorption, farmers can manage disease while achieving their goals of increasing yields and reducing costs. "
As one of ADAMA's series of cereal fungicide products launched for Europe, Forapro® will be launched in European markets one by one in 2024.
