SWAL Corporation, a leading provider of advanced and sustainable agricultural solutions, has launched Ferio Flash, an inventive and eco-friendly solution that aims to revolutionize weed management techniques within Indian tea estates.

With its efficacy, prolonged weed control capabilities, and crop-friendly attributes, Ferio Flash is a game-changer in the realm of weed management. This innovation promises to bring significant benefits to both the economic and ecological facets of tea cultivation.

Ferio Flash swiftly enters into weed leaves, causing rapid withering and complete elimination within a mere four hours of application. Beyond its immediate weed eradication prowess, Ferio Flash acts as a potent inhibitor of weed seed germination, ensuring a weed-free environment and diminishing the necessity for frequent herbicide reapplications. This reduction in herbicide reliance not only trims down costs associated with products and labour but also amplifies the return on investment for tea estate proprietors. Consequently, this contributes significantly to the sustainable economic growth of the tea industry in the long term.

Pankaj Joshi, Business Head-SWAL, said: “With the introduction of Ferio Flash, we are confident in providing eco-friendly weed control solutions tailored for tea plantations. This represents yet another step in our dedication to equipping farmers with tools that boost productivity, foster sustainability, and yield outstanding returns on investment, all the while upholding our commitment to environmental harmony.”

For optimal results, it is advisable to apply Ferio Flash when the weeds are at the 3-4 leaf stage. In 2023, SWAL's goal is to utilize Ferio Flash on 10K acres of Indian tea estates, showcasing our commitment to fostering growth in the tea industry through ground-breaking solutions.
