Ourofino Agrociência announces fungicide for sugar cane and coffee

Owner of a constantly expanding portfolio for sugar cane and coffee, Ourofino Agrociência launches Poderus®. The fungicide, the company's first for sugarcane and important for coffee plantations, arrives on the market with a double mechanism of action, coming from the combination of active ingredients from different chemical groups.

Agronomist Gustavo Vigna, sugarcane marketing manager, explains that the product offers protection in the initial development stage of the sugarcane field, providing the establishment of the stand, in addition to being an excellent tool to protect health in later periods, when applied to the aerial part.

“Its effectiveness in controlling pineapple rot (Ceratocystis paradoxa), brown rust (Puccinia melanocephala), orange rust (Puccinia kuehnii), as well as other minor foliar diseases, makes this a versatile product and can be applied at different times of the year”, advises Vigna.

“With a preventive and curative effect, it is a safe option for producers. In performance tests, the solution showed excellent performance compared to other products used on the market”, points out the sugarcane marketing manager.

Regarding coffee, Lenisson Carvalho, marketing manager for large crops, highlights that Poderus® is an important ally for controlling brown-eyed spot or cercosporiosis (Cercospora coffeicola) and coffee rust (Hemileia Vastatrix).
