BEIJING and TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ADAMA (the "Company") (SZSE
000553), a global leader in crop protection solutions, announced
the continued availability of its key multi-site fungicides, Folpet
and Captan, for European growers. This follows the recent decision
by the European Union's (EU) Standing Committee on Plants, Animals,
Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) to renew the approval of both active
ingredients (AIs) for another 15 years.
ADAMA remains dedicated to providing farmers with safe and
effective solutions to protect their crops against fungal diseases.
Both Folpet and Captan undergo periodic re-evaluation in the EU
through a rigorous renewal process, which includes comprehensive
testing and assessment. As the largest suppliers of these AIs in
Europe, ADAMA has played a crucial
role in the re-registration process by providing extensive data
that demonstrates their ongoing safety.
"We are delighted with the renewal of Folpet and Captan," said
Alex Mills, Global Head of
Fungicides at ADAMA. "These fungicides are essential for
farmers across Europe, offering
excellent resistance management and broad spectrum protection
against fungal diseases in multiple crops. We are proud to have
significantly contributed to the re-registration process and will
continue to invest in new solutions based on Folpet and Captan for
our customers."
The renewal of Folpet ensures that growers of crops such
as cereals, grapes, and specialty crops can continue to benefit
from ADAMA's broad Folpet portfolio, which includes products like
Folpan® 500SC, Folpan® 80WDG,
Vinergy®, Folpan® Energy and
Folpan® Gold.
The renewal of Captan is particularly significant for
sustainable agriculture, as it becomes the first AI to be renewed
with conditions tied to precision agriculture. These conditions
mandate the use of equipment that enhances the precision and
accuracy of application, setting a new standard for environmentally
responsible crop management.
Mills added, "By reducing the required active ingredient dosage
and promoting the adoption of precision agriculture practices, we
enable farmers to optimize yields sustainably while maintaining
high safety standards. This aligns with ADAMA's mission to provide
lower-impact alternatives to traditional crop protection."
Captan is primarily used in orchards, making this outcome
especially beneficial for orchard growers, who will continue to
have access to key products like Merpan® 80WDG.
"We are committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet
the evolving needs of our customers. This renewal reinforces our
position as a trusted partner to growers across Europe," concluded Mills.
