This will help increase yields by virtue of pest free cropping.

Our new product Rashinban is recommended specifically for the active flowering stage of Chilli plants to provide holistic efficacy. Along with the already existing products, Hanabi and Gracia, the addition of Rashinban in the portfolio will enable us to serve the entire value chain of Chilli crop.  We are certain that the launch of Rashinban will help aid India’s contribution to global Chilli market scale greater heights.”

Dr. Rajkumar Yadav, Managing Director of Nissan Chemical Corporation (India), expressed his views about the partnership with GAVL, stating, “We are delighted to collaborate with GAVL for the global-first launch of Rashinban and contribute to company’s endeavour to uplifting Indian farming families.

We are confident that like our previous products, Rashinban too will be widely adopted by the farming community.”

Burjis Godrej, Executive Director and COO, Crop Protection Business, GAVL said, “At GAVL, our mission is to bring forth innovative solutions tailored to the Indian market. Chilli farmers today need to ensure that their crop receives right quantity of nutrient at the right time across the crop’s growth cycle and free from abiotic stress to ensure a high-quality yield. And it is herein that we continue to launch innovative solutions and educate farmers on the importance of leveraging our wide range of products for pest control and subsequent integration of appropriate measures.”

Highlighting Rashinban’s efficacy controlling different pests, Rajavelu NK, CEO, Crop Protection Business, GAVL, said, “Following launch of Gracia in 2022, our ‘Start with Gracia’ focus enabled farmers to proactively protect their seedlings. However, during our field visits and discussions with the farmers, it was brought to our notice that crops continued to get wiped out due to invasive pests. To address the same, we decided to launch Rashinban. Effective on the broader spectrum of pests, both sucking as well as chewing type, it eliminates the need for multiple insecticides and reduces the frequency of sprays.”
