ALFA Smart Agro launched three innovative products in Ukraine

Ukrainian company ALFA Smart Agro announced the launch of three crop protection products: acaricide Syntac®, fungicide Artis Plus® and fungicide/insecticide Cantaris®.

Syntac® (hexythiazox + abamectin) is the new generation of acaricide. This is the first formulation in Ukraine which, for single application, provides control of acari at all stages of development, including the egg-larva-nymph-imago. Syntac® has a lightning-fast knockdown effect and provides long-term protection for plants for up to 50 days. In addition, the formulation is effective in the fight against sour and mortal pests: aphids and thrips. There is no harmful effect on the useful entomofauna.

Artis Plus® (myclobutanil + tebuconazole + thiophanate-methyl) is a systemic fungicide, which developed due to the rapid spread of diseases in sunflower crops: white rot, gray rot, Septoria lycopersici, powdery mildew, and so on. The main advantage of the new fungicide is a powerful stop-effect, which manifests itself in the first hours after treatment. Artis Plus® instantly spreads through the plant system, locating infectious agents. Its effective concentration is stored in the plant for up to 4 weeks. Thus, Artis Plus® reliably protects a young growth from illness, even if not present at the time of insertion.

Cantaris® (thiamethoxam + prochloraz + flutriafol) is an innovative fungicidal and insecticidal pesticide for the protection of cereals. Cantaris® provides 100% efficacy against Sphacelotheca reiliana and snow molds, and also has a rapid curative and long-lasting prophylactic effect against complex diseases. With regard to pests, Cantaris® significantly reduces the size of pest populations in the crop rotation, including the larvae of the click beetles.

An international team of scientists is working on the creation of ALFA Smart Agro products. Over the past five years, scientists at the ALFA Smart Agro have created 36 formulations that have no analogues in Ukraine. The innovative development of ALFA Smart Agro is patented.

"ALFA Smart Agro continues to update its product portfolio by expanding its range of intelligent plant protection products. Syntac®, Artis Plus® and Cantaris® combine multi active ingredients, have an expanded spectrum of action, a wide window of application and guarantee a truly long-term protection of crops. The new developments of ALFA Smart Agro products are the response to the needs of farms that are looking to grow superior crops," said Sergey Knechnas, Product Development Director of ALFA Smart Agro.
