DowDuPont's Agricultural Division debuted at this year's edition of the Coopavel Rural Show, which ends today (9), in the city of Cascavel, in Paraná, and showed that the producer will have a portfolio available for controlling pests, diseases and plants weeds, as well as in seeds and biotechnology.
“We are strongly committed to developing superior quality solutions that can boost agriculture and increase the income of rural producers. We want to show this at all the fairs we will participate in this year”, says Roberto Hun, president of the Agricultural Division in Brazil.
At the fair, producers had access to Agricultural Division solutions through institutional spaces and brands. It was possible to visit a circuit with solutions for weed management, pest management, disease management, pasture and Enlist, as well as a cinema session with information about the DowDuPont Agricultural Division. Visitors were able to visit all the spaces, accompanied by experts, who were able to discuss the problems experienced by farmers on the farm and present the best solutions.
Weed management solutions
Max Verdict: is a new solution for controlling Amargoso and other grasses, with a formulation 4.5 times more concentrated than Verdict R. The product reaches the root of the weed plant and, thus, prevents other invaders from growing from that root. Verdict Max also has a greater spectrum of control because, in addition to Amargoso and Milho Voluntário, it combats Ryegrass and Crow's Foot.
Spider: Selective, pre-emergent herbicide is recommended for the control of weeds such as Horseweed, Bittergrass, Viola String and other plants that are difficult to control. It has prolonged residual, high selectivity and reduces glyphosate application.
Pact: selective post-emergence herbicide for soybeans, effective against Horseweed and other difficult-to-control weeds, including those resistant to glyphosate. It still has high selectivity.
Pest management solutions
Dermacor: seed treatment in soybean and cotton crops that offers protection against the main soil pests, Larvae and Coró, and initial foliar pests, such as Armyworm and Helicoverpa. The action of Dermacor, associated with Bt technology, expands the pest control spectrum resulting in protection of the stand and the plant, at the beginning of the crop cycle, maximizing the crop's productive potential.
Exalted: is a non-systemic insecticide recommended for pest control in cotton, corn and soybean crops. With a broad-spectrum action mechanism and shock effect, it acts quickly on the caterpillar complex, resulting in direct savings for the producer.
Intrepid: Fast-acting physiological insecticide, with an exclusive mode of action, recommended for corn, soybean, cotton, tomato and wheat crops. Through ingestion or contact, it accelerates ecdysis (shedding) quickly eliminating caterpillars and damage to leaves and fruits.
Disease Management Solutions
Vessarya: most efficient fungicide for controlling soybean diseases, such as Rust, Powdery Mildew and DFCs (end-of-cycle diseases) such as Target Spot and Cercospora. Vessarya has an innovative formulation, as it does not require the use of oil in applications. Other important attributes of the product are: high systemicity and translaminar effect, ensuring better absorption and lower risk of washing by rain.
Approach Prima: is a systemic fungicide indicated for various crops such as soybeans, corn, coffee and sugar cane, which promotes quick and long-lasting results against various types of diseases, such as Asian rust, blast, cercosporiosis and powdery mildew. With rapid penetration, the product guarantees less exposure to rainwater, providing more effective results.
Pasture Solutions
In the Pasture segment, the DowDuPont Agricultural Division prepared a special pre-launch for the Coopavel Rural Show, which is the presentation of XT Technology – a new formulation that eliminates up to 80% of the most tolerant weeds – the only one with foliar application that combats semi-woody and woody. The XT Family products will hit the market in the 2018/2019 harvest.
Another highlight of the Pastagem tent is a photo panel, in which the public can interact with some cameras and take images with signs saying such as: “Eu sou eXtraordinário!” or “Say XXXXXT”, among others. Everyone who passes by the stand will be able to participate in the fun and will have the opportunity to take home a photo taken on the spot.
Brevant: This space will be dedicated to the DowDuPont Agricultural Division's newly created premium seed distribution brand, which, starting this month, will be available for several crops, including: soybeans, corn, sorghum and wheat. Brevant seed solutions will initially be sold in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, Canada, and some European countries. In Brazil, the Brevant brand will serve current Agricultural Division customers by replacing existing brands Coodetec, BioGene e Dow Seeds in the coming months, throughout the integration between Dow and DuPont.
Pioneer In addition to getting to know the DowDuPont Agricultural Division's new seed distribution brand, farmers will have access to Pioneer's best solutions - in the corn portfolio there will be exposure to hybrids with Leptra insect protection technology and the benefits of Industrial Seed Treatment with the Dermacor + Poncho insecticides. The brand will highlight the P3380HR, a hybrid with high production potential for the off-season in the region.
In the soybean portfolio, the Pioneer stand will have a demonstration field with the new cultivar 96Y90, a variety tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate and resistant to Cyst Nematode. In addition, the two new Intacta soybeans will be highlighted 95R95IPRO and 95R90IPRO, super early and stable cultivars, favoring the planting of safrinha in the region. With Industrial Seed Treatment (TSI) with Dermacor, the soybean farmer has a package to control insects.
list: The producer will have the opportunity to learn more about the new technology both on the circuit and in an Enlist environment. The Enlist Experience provides diverse knowledge about the benefits of Enlist Seeds and Herbicides in relation to the problems of managing weeds and caterpillars. All this through illustrative and dynamic videos. Testimonies from pioneer farmers who participated in pre-launch activities for the technology last harvest will also be presented for the first time.
Enlist is the evolution in weed control that allows the use of 2,4-D on soybean and corn crops to maximize the crops' productive potential. Enlist seeds may come with biotechnology (Bt) for caterpillar control. Visitors will have access to experts and researchers and will be able to answer farmers' questions about the benefits of technology, such as: advances in weed control; new herbicides (which feature reduced drift, low odor and ultra-low volatility); high productivity; new Bt technology and practicality.
