Felujit is set to transform the way farmers manage this persistent disease that has origins in the soil
Bayer has launched a new fungicide Felujit for controlling sheath blight in paddy crops. Combining Penflufen and Tebuconazole, Felujit offers dual-action protection to all plant parts and outperforms market standards with a single long-lasting spray.
Bayer has announced the launch of Felujit, an innovative fungicide designed to provide protection to all plant parts against sheath blight in paddy cultivation. The product is being made available across key rice-growing states in the country starting from July. It is available in convenient sizes of 320 ml and 1 litre.
As the agricultural sector grapples with increasing challenges from pests and diseases, Felujit, with its unique formulation combining Penflufen and Tebuconazole, is set to transform the way farmers manage this persistent disease that has origins in the soil. It effectively inhibits the growth of sheath blight by its dual mode of action throughout the entire body of the plant upon application, providing farmers with a reliable solution that enhances crop yields and quality.
A single spray of Felujit offers superior efficacy that lasts more than twice the current market standards. “Felujit is a highly effective solution for farmers, offering excellent control over sheath blight while streamlining their farming practices. Given the critical role of paddy in global food security, our innovation empowers farmers to manage disease effectively with fewer applications, optimizing their resources and enhancing their profitability amidst rising agricultural challenges”, said Mohan Babu, Cluster Commercial Lead, Crop Science Division of Bayer in India, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka.
