Crystal Crop Protection Limited (CCPL), India’s leading agrochemicals solutions company, today announced the launch of a herbicide and insecticide, both major research-driven products.
CCPL has launched RICEACT, a solution tailored specifically for rice cultivation, and JIVORA, a next-generation insecticide, designed to address the rising challenges of sucking pests in cotton, said a statement from the company.
The company will introduce RICEACT and JIVORA across key markets in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Haryana and West Bengal.
RICEACT is an early post-emergence herbicide that brings together two highly effective active ingredients — “Triafamone” (20 per cent) and “Ethoxysulfuron” (10 per cent)—offering a robust dual mode of action, providing effective control on various weeds. It works efficiently across transplanted and wet direct-seeded paddy crops, managing a broad spectrum of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds that are known to significantly affect paddy yield and profitability.
The company said RICEACT ensures early weed control and provides season-long residual control. While Triafamone acts through the roots and leaves of the weed and inhibits critical enzyme activity, Ethoxysulfuron is absorbed through foliage and disrupts weed development through systemic action. Together, they effectively block the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme, resulting in complete weed mortality with superior crop safety.
This product has been designed to be applied ideally when weeds are in the “1–3 leaf stage”. With a recommended dose of 90 g per acre, RICEACT provides a unified solution for full-season weed management in rice, reducing labour dependency. The rice pesticide will likely be used on about 3 lakh hectares of paddy, the company claimed.
JIVORA is a combination of two proficient active ingredients, offering protection against Whiteflies, Jassids and Aphids in cotton. Its residual control provides a robust defence during critical crop stages, specifically during the 2nd and 3rd spray.
JIVORA is the result of “deep market research” and field trials across key cotton-growing regions in the country. It could benefit thousands of cotton farmers, the statement said, adding that at least 4.5-5 lakh farmers could take to the insecticide this season.
Ankur Aggarwal, Managing Director of CCPL, said, “… Both JIVORA and RICEACT will be available across Crystal’s authorised distribution network in 50g, 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg pack sizes and 45g, 60g, and 90g pack sizes respectively.”
Sohit Satyawali, Vice-President – Sales and Marketing of CCPL, said, “ As always, our aim remains to support farmers in ensuring maximum crop protection and profitability.”
CCPL’s introduction of these two major products comes at a time when India’s crop-protection market is projected to grow from $2.59 billion in 2025 to $3.21 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.35 per cent.
With the launch of these two products, Crystal Crop Protection expects to increase its herbicide portfolio by 8 per cent and its insecticide portfolio by 7 per cent.
