"With Armero, we will arrive with a solution that raises the standard of control of this disease", says the Product Manager responsible for the fungicide portfolio at ADAMA, Gerson Dalla Corte
ADAMA takes Armero to the Show Safra, which takes place in Lucas do Rio Verde, in Mato Grosso, a fungicide aimed primarily at soybean crops. Armero reinforces the Bom de Soja program, now composed of the fungicides Azimut, Armero and Across. The fair takes place from March 22nd to 25th and brings together experts, rural producers, technicians and other agribusiness professionals.
Armero has established active ingredients in its composition, ensuring a combination of different modes of action, including a powerful protective fungicide. It has exclusive T.O.V. technology, a liquid formulation that promotes greater adherence to soybean leaves; stands out for its ease of application; no risk of clogging spray nozzles; high effectiveness in combating soybean diseases.
In the fungicide management program, Armero will be recommended in the first applications, ensuring greater protection and health of the bass and, as a consequence, better crop productivity results.
Its broad spectrum of control guarantees coverage against the main soybean diseases, especially Target Spot, always with high consistency of results.
Results of cooperative experiments carried out by the Target Mancha Network Consortium, made up of 16 institutions, with the main fungicides registered and in the registration phase for soybean crops in the 2020/2021 harvest, indicate that Armero presented the best productivity rates among the fungicides evaluated, with an average of 4.390 kg/ha.
"In recent harvests, Target Spot has caused increasing damage in all the main soybean producing regions of the country. Traditional fungicides no longer have the same efficiency as before due to resistance problems, especially those containing carboxamides in their composition. With Armero, we will arrive with a solution that raises the standard of control of this disease", says the Product Manager responsible for the fungicide portfolio at ADAMA, Gerson Dalla Corte.
Armero is the second ADAMA fungicide to be considered champion of the Network Consortium. In the last two harvests, Cronnos proved to be the most efficient fungicide in controlling Asian Rust in soybeans.
Armero experience in the field
Producers who participate in Show Safra will have the opportunity to see Armero's effectiveness up close. A truck that, once opened, transforms into an area of 15m x 25m, with space to receive up to 40 people (following health protocols for Covid-19), will take the Armero Experience to farmers in Mato Grosso. A chat with experts in disease management and demonstrations of the product's action in an immersive LED room, in addition to conversations with ADAMA technicians, will be offered to those present.
For the Armero Experience to be complete, people attending the event will have the opportunity to go up in a balloon to view soybean crops treated with the product. “This experience matches Armero’s slogan: ‘It’s easy to predict the future when Armero comes first’. We want to show that, starting with Armero, it is possible to see beyond and benefit from a product like this”, explains Dalla Corte.
Mato Grosso is the largest Brazilian producer of soybeans, production is 35,947 million tons in a planted area of 10,294 million hectares, with a productivity of 3.492 kg/ha (Source: Conab, 05/2021).
