Sperto provides remarkable efficacy in managing a wide range of pests, including whitefly, aphids, jassids, semi looper, and girdle beetles.

 Mumbai based agrochemical company, SWAL Corporation Ltd. has announced the launch of a new product Sperto designed for soybean and cotton crops in India. Utilising a WG formulation that rapidly dissolves in water, Sperto is a combination of Acetamiprid 25% and Bifenthrin 25% Wettable Granules (WG). With a reduced dosage requirement per acre, Sperto proves to be an economical remedy, advocating sustainable farming methods. The WG formulation ensures effortless handling and eradicates the hazard of spillage, drift, or dust formation during the application, leading to healthier air and soil quality. It is ecologically safe and harmless to applicators, setting it apart from other competitively priced alternatives.

The product provides remarkable efficacy in managing a wide range of pests, including whitefly, aphids, jassids, semi looper, and girdle beetles. Its dual mode of action effectively thwarts pest resistance, ensuring a sustainable and enduring approach to pest management while reducing the need for frequent applications. For better results, it is recommended to apply Sperto 40-45 days after sowing in cotton and 20-25 days after sowing in soybean during the Kharif season.

 Pankaj Joshi, Business Head of SWAL, said: “The launch of Sperto is yet another step towards enabling farmers to nurture their fields in harmony with nature, all the while ensuring effective pest management. Beyond the environmental benefits, the adoption of Sperto will help farmers achieve not only better yields but also increased profitability.”

The partnership enables the companies to provide smart risk-cover solutions for farmers to ensure financial safety and resilience against weather irregularities.

Bengaluru based nurture.farm, India’s leading agri-tech organization, has scaled its weather protection cover offering by partnering with SWAL Corporation Ltd. The product offering is a part of nurture.farm’s flagship resilience program ‘Kavach’.

Weather Kavach is a risk cover offering for farmers to protect them against weather irregularities. It is a flexible cover option where farmers can opt-in for any sum assured value, and claims are disbursed in the event of excessive rain, heat waves or rain deficit. The advantages of the Weather Kavach product offering includes an index-based trigger, shorter disbursal window, and direct transfer of the claim amount to the farmer’s bank account. Since its launch, nurture.farm has successfully offered Weather Kavach to more than 100,000 farmers and sold more than 1 Million Weather Kavach in less than 12 months.

Through this partnership, SWAL Corporation Ltd is offering Weather Kavach, at no additional cost, to all its farmers who purchase Wuxal & Delma products. While Wuxal provides nutrients to the crop, Delma protects it from various diseases that can be triggered due to wild fluctuations in temperature during critical growth stages. With the likely possibility of higher temperatures predicted for February & March and the harvest window for Rabi crops around the corner, the partnership couldn’t have come at a better time. To avail of Weather Kavach, the farmers must download the nurture.farm app, scan Wuxal and Delma products on the app, and avail it at no additional cost.

Dhruv Sawhney, COO & Business Head at nurture.farm said, “Globally, 2022 was the fifth warmest year on record. As per reports, scientists have warned that 2023 could be a comeback year for El Nino, pushing temperatures by over 1.5 degrees celsius compared to the average temperature a century ago. As per the reports published in the US scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” (PNAS), each degree Celsius increase in global temperature can on average reduce global yields of wheat by 6 per cent, rice by 3.2 per cent, maize by 7.4 per cent, and soybean by 3.1 per cent . Furthermore, the global rise in temperature increases the risks of floods, drought, extreme heat waves, and water shortages, and could possibly push millions into poverty. Despite knowing the pitfalls, and suffering agricultural losses every year, less than 20 per cent of farmers opt-in for risk-cover products owing to the lack of trust, education, and high premium costs.”

nurture.farm is partnering with SWAL Corporation Ltd., an organisation that is paving the way for other many organisations to follow by helping us drive change, increase adoption, build for farmer resilience, and truly make agriculture sustainable, viable, and climate-smart. 

Pramod Tiwari, Head of Marketing at SWAL Corporation Ltd, said, “For over 10 decades, SWAL has been committed to its farmers by offering them quality agri-solutions that are efficient, improve yield quality & quantity for ensuring better farm profitability. Our teams have been working with the farmers, helping them select the right inputs, imparting technical know-how, educating them about innovative farming practices, and delivering access to technology and advisory throughout the cultivation windows”.

The partnership enables the companies to provide
