Avgust to produce three new agrochemicals

As part of the continuous expansion of its current product catalogue, the Russian agrochemical company, Avgust, is preparing to manufacture three new products at its Avgust-Bel production center. 

The registrations of the products, which are the insecticide, Mamba, the fungicide, Hecate, and the herbicide, Hacker 300, are expected to be obtained in the fall of 2020. 

Mamba is a broad-spectrum insecticide for protecting field and horticultural crops from harmful insects, including the Colorado potato beetle and locusts.

Hecate, which will aid gardeners growing pome and stone fruit crops, is a systemic fungicide with a preventive and curative action to combat a complex of fruit diseases.

Hacker 300 will help farmers of field crops as a post-emergence herbicide with a systemic action. It is intended for controlling annual dicotyledonous and perennial root weeds.

These products are Avgust’s latest developments and are not yet being produced at any of the company's three formulation plants.

After receiving state registration for the new products, the product range of the company’s plant will include over 90 items.
