Atul Launches Three Innovative Crop Protection Products for Indian Farmers

Newsonline 1 hour ago 2 min read

Atul Ltd (Atul) introduces three proprietary crop protection products – Mylonis, Salix Gold and Tikadis – to enhance crop productivity and advance sustainable farming practices in India. The newly launched product portfolio comprises a seed treatment solution for oilseeds and soybean, an advanced fungicide formulation for rice and a premium technical-grade herbicide for rice cultivation. These innovations address critical gaps in disease management, pest control and weed management for major crops – factors that directly influence agricultural yields and farmer profitability.

Atul unveils three novel products developed in-house

Mylonis: comprehensive disease management for rice
Mylonis, a patented fungicide combining Azoxystrobin, Isoprothiolane and Mancozeb, is to tackle the most challenging diseases in rice – sheath blight, blast (including multiple strains), and grain discoloration. Beyond disease suppression, Mylonis strengthens plant health, enhances grain quality and supports resistance management strategies, making it an invaluable choice for rice farmers throughout India.

Salix Gold: precision weed control for rice cultivation
Salix Gold reflects the advanced manufacturing capability of Atul in high-purity technical grade production. This 2,4-D sodium salt–based water-dispersible granules formulation provides post-emergence weed control, effectively targeting broadleaf weeds and sedges in rice production systems across India. While currently focused on domestic markets, the Company is actively exploring commercial opportunities in select international regions.

Tikadis: early-stage protection for legume and oilseed crops
Tikadis, a patented seed treatment formulation, combines Azoxystrobin, Carbendazim and Thiamethoxam to deliver day-one defence against soil-borne pests and pathogens in groundnut and soybean. Field trials demonstrate that Tikadis promotes robust seed germination, strengthens root nodule development for improved plant vigour and ensures uniform pod development.
