Adama announces availability of Trivor insecticide for coffee

Adama announced the expansion of its portfolio with the launch of the Trivor insecticide for controlling leaf miners (Leucoptera coffeella), the main pest of coffee crops. The pesticide arrives at a time of climate challenges and high prices in the coffee market.

Leaf miners cause severe defoliation in plants, which can reduce their production potential by more than 50%. The product combines two active ingredients from different chemical groups (acetamiprid and pyriproxyfen). This provides more effective control of the main pests. It also reduces the risk of developing resistance.

According to Daniel Faria, an agronomist responsible for market development at Adama, Trivor has a translaminar action, protecting the leaves continuously and lastingly during the harvest, which directly contributes to increasing productivity and profitability for coffee growers.
