Adama recently obtained registration for the herbicide, Araddo (clethodim + fluroxypyr-meptyl), a combination used to manage bitterness, crow's foot and clove, and a solution for controlling broad leaves and grasses in the desiccation of soy, corn and wheat crops.

Buva, which was a serious weed in southern Brazil for many years, is also becoming an issue in the Cerrado. Amargoso and Pé-de-leite are also present in more than 20 million hectares of soybeans, are resistant to glyphosate and are advancing rapidly in all major agricultural regions in Brazil. The simultaneous occurrence of these three weeds often leads to the combined application of graminicides and auxiliaries.

With its differential modes of action and coverage, Araddo is a new category of product and enables planting to take place immediately after application without causing phytointoxication in soy. According to José Ibelli Neto, Adama's Product Manager, the formulation of Araddo causes a differentiated mechanism of action without restricting the intervals between application and sowing. “With Araddo, we have a complete solution for managing glyphosate-resistant herbs, with stable results in different conditions. In addition, it is a ready-mix that is easy to apply and saves time for producers,” he said.

Araddo is expected to be sold in 2021 and is another solution released by Adama as part of a portfolio geared towards the needs of farmers. Increasingly, the company has been concerned with the challenges that farmers face and has listened to them actively and genuinely, to understand their needs and experiences and deliver what they want.
