07 August 2026, Chandigarh: IFFCO-MC Crop Science has introduced two new crop protection products in India, Mitsuki, its first patented fungicide registered under Section 9(3) of the Insecticides Act, and NexaWet, a citrus peel extract-based silicone adjuvant during its flagship event, SwarnArambh 2026 held in Chandigarh.

New Products Target Disease Control and Spray Efficiency
