New launches to strengthen Crystal’s industry-leading crop protection portfolio

Crystal Crop Protection Limited today announced the launch of six next-generation innovations for the Kharif 2026 season. Designed to address evolving pest pressures, unpredictable weather patterns and changing disease dynamics, the new portfolio has been developed through extensive research, rigorous field validation and farmer-centric product development. These launches reinforce Crystal’s commitment to helping farmers build profitable farms through science-backed innovation.

To strengthen its leadership in the soybean herbicide segment, Crystal has introduced “Samorian” for soybean, featuring a patented three-way mode of action against grasses and broadleaf weeds. Addressing complex weed challenges in maize, Crystal has also launched its patented combination herbicide “Takuro”, which offers three-layer weed management with rapid systemic action and long-lasting residual control.Together, these technologies help reduce weed competition and support stronger crop establishment.

Strengthening its paddy fungicide portfolio, Crystal introduced “Xeberia”, which provides multi-site protection against fungal and bacterial diseases, along with the dual-action fungicide “MAXentra”, which delivers broad-spectrum disease control across multiple crop stages.

Together, they offer a comprehensive disease management strategy for healthier crops, improved grain quality and stronger yield potential. Further strengthening its leadership in the cotton sucking pest segment, Crystal has introduced “Valtruva”, an advanced cotton insecticide powered by Smart Triple Action Technology.

Building on the success of trusted brands such as Proclaim Xtra and Jivora, “Valtruva” delivers rapid knockdown, broad-spectrum control of major sucking pests and extended residual protection. By reducing spray frequency while ensuring season-long crop protection, the innovation helps cotton growers improve operational efficiency, protect yields and maximize farm productivity. Crystal also announced the launch of its GreenAg patented organic smart nutrition solution “KGR-T”, powered by Effervescent Tablet Delivery System (ETDS) and Extended Nutrient Release (ENR) technologies. It improves nutrient-use efficiency, enhances flowering and fruiting, strengthens crop resilience and supports better-quality yields.
