As the largest suppliers of these AIs in Europe, ADAMA has played a crucial role in the re-registration process.

ADAMA, a global leader in crop protection solutions, announced the continued availability of its key multi-site fungicides, Folpet and Captan, for European growers. This follows the recent decision by the European Union’s (EU) Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) to renew the approval of both active ingredients (AIs) for another 15 years.

ADAMA remains dedicated to providing farmers with safe and effective solutions to protect their crops against fungal diseases. Both Folpet and Captan undergo periodic re-evaluation in the EU through a rigorous renewal process, which includes comprehensive testing and assessment. As the largest suppliers of these AIs in Europe, ADAMA has played a crucial role in the re-registration process by providing extensive data that demonstrates their ongoing safety.

“We are delighted with the renewal of Folpet and Captan,” said Alex Mills, Global Head of Fungicides at ADAMA. “These fungicides are essential for farmers across Europe, offering excellent resistance management and broad-spectrum protection against fungal diseases in multiple crops. We are proud to have significantly contributed to the re-registration process and will continue to invest in new solutions based on Folpet and Captan for our customers.”

The renewal of Folpet ensures that growers of crops such as cereals, grapes, and specialty crops can continue to benefit from ADAMA’s broad Folpet portfolio, which includes products like Folpan® 500SC, Folpan® 80WDG, Vinergy®, Folpan® Energy and Folpan® Gold.

The renewal of Captan is particularly significant for sustainable agriculture, as it becomes the first AI to be renewed with conditions tied to precision agriculture. These conditions mandate the use of equipment that enhances the precision and accuracy of application, setting a new standard for environmentally responsible crop management.

Mills added, “By reducing the required active ingredient dosage and promoting the adoption of precision agriculture practices, we enable farmers to optimize yields sustainably while maintaining high safety standards. This aligns with ADAMA’s mission to provide lower-impact alternatives to traditional crop protection.”

Captan is primarily used in orchards, making this outcome especially beneficial for orchard growers, who will continue to have access to key products like Merpan® 80WDG. 

“We are committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. This renewal reinforces our position as a trusted partner to growers across Europe,” concluded Mills.

Forapro® combines two Active Ingredients with ADAMA’s Asorbital® Formulation Technology for a double boosting effect.

ADAMA Ltd., a leading crop protection company, has announced the European launch of Forapro®, its new T1 broad spectrum multi-crop cereal fungicide that delivers superior control over all major early season diseases in wheat.

Forapro® offers the double boosting effect of two Active Ingredients together with ADAMA’s unique Asorbital® Formulation Technology. It delivers powerful results for both wheat and barley and is effective against early season diseases such as Powdery Mildew, Septoria and Rust.

Due to its unique formulation and dual active ingredients, Forapro® provides excellent control in T1 that keeps disease infestation levels in check until T2 spraying. The power of Prothioconazole together with Fenpropidin and boosted by Asorbital® Formulation Technology ensures increased leaf penetration, faster uptake, and outstanding migration, spreading the impact across the entire plant, while also preventing degradation from sunlight. Extensive trials have shown that Forapro® penetrates the leaf cuticle significantly faster compared to a tank mixture of the two ingredients.

“Farmers are looking for innovative, effective fungicides that address their needs for fast acting crop protection and lower costs, so they can increase yields and bring high quality cereals to the market. With the launch of Forapro®, ADAMA has answered these needs and provided the value innovation that farmers expect from us,” said Alex Mills, Global Head of Fungicides at ADAMA. “Forapro® delivers superior T1 control of Septoria, Yellow Rust, and Powdery Mildew, improving crop yields. Thanks to its highly effective uptake, farmers can manage diseases while meeting both yield and cost goals.”

Forapro® is part of ADAMA’s new European cereal fungicide portfolio. Launches will continue across the continent throughout 2024.
