Dhanuka Agritech Launches Integrated Crop Protection Portfolio for Apple Farmers in India
30 April 2025, New Delhi: Apple producers throughout Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh have consistently struggled with erratic weather, variable chill hours, and virulent mite infestations. Increased temperature, unpredictable rainfall, and premature frosts have interfered with flowering and fruit sets, while red mites and other insect taxa continue to ravage leaves and fruit quality, directly affecting market value and farmer returns. Being aware of these issues, Dhanuka Agritech Limited has been in close association with horticulture professionals to provide end-to-end and timely solutions to the apple farmers of the region.
To assist farmers in addressing these growing challenges, Dhanuka Agritech has launched an integrated portfolio of science-driven solutions specially formulated for apple cultivation. Crafted using sophisticated Japanese technology and adapted to local orchard conditions, this portfolio features precise interventions for pest management, crop development, and enhanced pollination support. Thus, farmers can guard their crops and deliver top-class apple quality.
At the heart of the portfolio is MIYAKO, an innovative miticide created in Japan and brought to market by Dhanuka Agritech. Miyako has been formulated to offer successful red mite and allied species control at every phase of life. Low dosage and economic requirements make it a cost-effective yet highly effective tool for farmers to safeguard their orchards without compromising environmental responsibility.
DECIDE, an effective insecticide with broad-spectrum activity against several sucking pests, including mites, thrips, and whiteflies, completes the picture. Through its quick and long-lasting action, Decide decreases the number of applications and aids in stabilizing the flowering and fruit set, which are essential for realizing high-quality yields.
WETCIT, a biodegradable spray adjuvant made from natural orange peel extracts, is an efficiency enhancer that complements the effectiveness of these treatments. It enhances the penetrative and spreading action of applied treatments and aids pollinator activity, adding to orchard health and productivity.
“Confronted with the twin threats of climatic variability and pest attack, apple growers in our country need solutions that are innovative as well as pragmatic,” said Dr. R.G. Agarwal, Chairman Emeritus, Dhanuka Agritech Limited. “Our new portfolio is a testament to our focus on farming innovation and sustainability. We think that farmers with the right interventions can overcome the challenges of today and build a good future.”
