The Vurnarsky Plant of Formulation Mixes (VZSP) is one of the three plants of CJSC Avgust – the largest Russian company for the development, production and information technology support for the use of chemical plant protection products. 


In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, the plant has not stopped its activities, since Avgust was included in the list of backbone domestic enterprises as an organization making a significant contribution to ensuring the food security of the state.


In the first half of 2020, VZSP managed to achieve a significant increase in the volume of production. From January to June of this year, the enterprise produced 13,000 tons of plant protection chemicals, which is 40% more than in the same period of 2019. In the structure of manufactured products, 80% were herbicides (preparations against weeds), 11% - insecticides (preparations against agricultural pests), while the remaining share fell to preparations against plant diseases and disinfectants.


“In the first half of the year, we were given ambitious production plans, which we completed. The enterprise worked at full load, at maximum power, without stopping even on weekends, while respecting all labor laws. We produce herbicides in three out of five production facilities. During this period, we increased the production of continuous herbicides in the form of aqueous solutions based on isopropylamine salt of glyphosate acid,” said Alexander Nikolaevich Bobin, deputy director of production, for the plant.


Continuous herbicides are widely used in the introduction of abandoned and fallow lands, care for fallows, pre-sowing preparation of fields, in the minimum technologies of cultivation of many crops, pre-harvest desiccation, etc. The product range of the plant also includes a wide range of selective herbicides.


VZSP produces more than 100 varieties of plant protection chemicals. The formulae of all chemical products and the method of their production were developed by the research staff of the company. In the first half of the year, the production of three new drugs was mastered.  


The plant has also launched the production of polymer containers for packaging its products. In the first half of the year, 1.5 million units of canisters, almost six million polymer cans, glasses, and bottles were produced.


The shipment of products in the first half of the year was conducted systematically with 15,400 tons of pesticides being sent to farmers. Obligations to partners were fulfilled in totality and agricultural producers received the plant protection products on time.   


The geography of VZSP product supplies includes not only all the most important agricultural regions of Russia and the CIS countries, but also non-CIS countries: Colombia, Morocco, Algeria, and Slovenia.
