Today, the global market of crop protection consists of a hoard of formulae being used for different crops, seeds, and also genetically modified crops. Crop protection products have dominated the agriculture in recent past, and are increasingly becoming the backbone of agricultural industry in India. Pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and fertilizers have added value to the crop production and facilitated a better yield all across the country. Amongst these segments, micro nutrients, bio-pesticides, and adjuvant are used in minimum quantities and constitutes a minor share when we talk about crop protection, whereas, pesticides and insecticides have taken a front seat with regards to crop protection market. As per the available data figures this market is up for a phenomenal growth in next few years, because Indian government is putting in various initiatives to support and increase agricultural production to meet the increasing domestic as well as export requirements by using crop protection products. Asian market, being the highest importer of food, will be the largest consumer and will present suitable ground for crop protection products.

Here is imperative information about Robocop for farmers to understand and make a sensible use of the product: Robocop is a potent mixture of triazole fungicides, which is specifically designed to kill pests. It comes with a strong recommendation of Sheath blight and dirty panicle disease control especially in paddy (rice crop) If applied right in time, at early (25-30 DAT) vegetative state, it works perfect for protection and results in more productive tillers. Robocop’s potency is the greatest factor that determines the product’s ability to fight pests effectively, which results in better pest management and production of healthy flag leaves in a better yield. More preventative and protective than curative, Robocop needs to be applied immediately symptoms of pests are spotted. Never leave the crops unattended if the signs of pest or disease are suspected. Take quick action and most plants will take advantage of your intervention and restore themselves to full strength. The product is toxic, hence, one must be extremely careful while using Robocop. Proper eye and hand protection gear must be used while sprinkling the chemical. If, by mistake, the skin or eyes come in contact with the product, thoroughly wash with cold water and rush to the doctor immediately.

HPM India is leading in this initiative and presenting an array of crop protection products with its ongoing innovations. The latest on the shelf being TAMMA, an insecticide that promises to battle all crop eating insects and protect the crops from probable harm. We are going to discuss TAMMA and its potency in details here: TAMMA is Thiamethoxam 30% FS formulation and is used as a systemic seed treatment insecticide. It effectively protects against target pests by directly interfering with receptors that transmit the message to continue feeding. It carries the function to act on different sites of action in the insect. It provides control of a wide range of early season sucking and chewing, leaf-feeding and soil-dwelling insect pests, such as aphids, wireworms, flea beetles, and leaf miners. It is used to treat the seeds of corn, cotton, sugar beets, oil seed rape, canola, wheat, barley, soybeans, sorghum and other field crops.

At HPM TAMMA is available in packing sizes of 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 250ml and 500ml. The benefits of TAMMA on crops include increased food production, increased profits for farmers and the prevention of plant borne diseases. Although insects consume or harm a large portion of agricultural crops, without the use of TAMMA, it is likely that they would consume a higher percentage. By using TAMMA, it has become possible to combat insects and produce larger quantities of food. By producing more crops, farmers are also able to increase profits by having more produce to sell. TAMMA also helps to increase farm profits by helping the farmer save money on labor costs. Using TAMMA in spray from reduces the amount of time required to maintain the crops.

Shrinking of cultivable land, increasing population, and need to improve crop yields are some major factors driving the demand for crop protection products like TAMMA in upcoming years. Yes, the use must be restricted and regulated as per the norms of regulatory authorities to reduce harmful impact on environment. Yet, absolute consumer awareness is the need and HPM is working in the direction to educate the farmers about use of crop protection products.
