NABARD ARDNABARD Grade AState AAO
- Dhanuka Agritech Ltd launched ‘Polin’, a fungicide for protecting rice/paddy crops against leaf blast and neck blast diseases.
- The product has been developed through a strategic technical collaboration with Japan’s Nippon Soda Co. Ltd. (NISSO).
- It has translaminar and systemic mobility, allowing the fungicide to move through plant tissues and protect unsprayed leaf areas and new plant growth.
- The recommended application mentioned is 100 ml per acre in 200 litres of water, with application at the first signs of infection during critical crop-growth stages.
- Its longer protection period can reduce the frequency of spraying, potentially lowering labour and chemical costs for rice farmers.
