New products for pest and disease management, highlighting mainly the powerful bio-rationals that Anasac has (Grandevo, Botector), together with tools such as Borneo, a powerful acaricide with a unique mode of action. In weed management, the bio-herbicide Suppress was presented, the only product of natural origin 100%, without MRLs or deficiencies and safe for the environment, also compatible with organic and traditional agriculture, which adds to the efficient control of weeds in orchards. In plant nutrition, the importance of compatibility in the use of foliar fertilizers and the possible effects on tank mixtures was discussed, highlighting the confidence and security that the Poly line gives to the farmer; in this same segment we reviewed the qualities of the Water Aid product and its effect on irrigation optimization, closing with an advance on our new tool, Martello. Finally, the advances made with the BigFrut digital tool were shown, which has allowed producers to optimize certain tasks in the field, achieving high levels of efficiency in productivity estimation processes.
