Corteva Agriscience creates awareness on pest control among farmers in Nellore
The farmers saw stronger crop stands, healthier tillers, improved grain filling and fields that remained protected during some of the crop’s most critical growth stages.
Corteva Agriscience, an American agricultural company, has organized an event in Nellore to demonstrate the effectiveness of its rice insecticide, Mavilon, to farmers, agronomists, scientists, and local community leaders. The event aimed to raise awareness about how Mavilon can protect crops from damaging pests without requiring repeated spray applications.
Farmers who attended the demonstration observed stronger crop stands, healthier tillers, improved grain filling, and fields that remained protected during crucial growth stages. Unlike conventional methods where farmers respond after pests appear, Mavilon allows growers to proactively protect their crops. The company explained that Mavilon is designed for a single application at 30-35 days after transplanting, safeguarding crop potential before significant damage occurs.
As Brown Planthopper (BPH) outbreaks become more severe and labor constraints make timely spraying more challenging, rice growers are increasingly adopting convenient, long-lasting solutions such as Mavilon. These solutions provide consistent protection with less operational complexity, making them an attractive option for farmers facing these challenges.
