Agrow Allied Ventures starts production of two new herbicidal technical

Jaipur based Agrow Allied Venture, a strong technical product manufacturing Company, announced addition of two new herbicidal technical (actives) to its crop protection range fostering its commitment to provide distributors and growers with significant crop protection products and solutions for the markets. The Company aims to register and sell these products in India and global markets.

The first one is Haloxyfop-R-methyl ester, belonging to the class of aryloxyphenoxyproponic acid herbicides (commonly called ″FOP″). The Company is now actively engaged in manufacturing Quizalop-ethyl and Clodinafop-propargyl Technical. In near future, under this series we will also be manufacturing Propaquizafop and Cyhalofop-butyl Technical.

Haloxyfop-R-methyl ester:

Haloxyfop R-Methyl ester is a selective and systemic post emergent herbicide. It provides effective control in wide range of annual and perennial grass weeds in Soybean, Cotton, Black gram, summer fallow, grain, legume, onion, oilseed crops, lucerne, clover pasture and seed crops, forestry, bananas, citrus, grapes, pineapples, pome and stone fruit, pyrethrum, tropical fruit and nut crops.

Haloxyfop-R-Methyl ester is a member of the aryloxyphenoxy propionate group of herbicides. The product has the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor mode of action. It inhibits the growth of meristematic tissues. It is absorbed by the foliage and roots, which is translocated to meristematic tissues. It is a fatty acid synthesis inhibitor that works by inhibiting Acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase). It has low use rate, versatile uses in both winter and summer crops.

The second Technical is Topramezone belonging to Pyrazole group of HPPD inhibitor herbicide.

This year, Company has already started manufacturing two more HPPD inhibitor herbicides from the Triketone group, viz. Mesotrione and Tembotrione Technical.

Topramezone:

Topramezone belongs to the phenyl pyrazolyl ketone family of herbicides. Its mode of herbicide action is inhibition of an enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) that controls carotenoid biosynthesis.  It is a selective post emergent herbicide for corn.  It is rapidly metabolised by corn to non-active substances. It gets absorbed through the roots and shoots of the weeds and it starts working immediately. Weeds stop taking nutrients from soil and in 10 to 12 days, it controls weeds from their roots. It effectively controls narrow leaf and broad leaf weeds in corn field while ensuring complete safety of the crop.

The Company has also started the construction of its new technical plant with an investment of approx. Rs. 150 Crore. and the launch of new products are a result of Company’s committed investment in Research and Development. The Company is focused on investing in new De-patented products. All these new products will help the Company in maintaining the growth and healthy bottom line. The Company is looking forward to further expand its portfolio with launch of new range of technical products this year.
