ADAMA Unveils Innovative Ravari® Insecticide for Latin American Farmers

ADAMA Ltd., a prominent global crop protection company, has officially announced the introduction of Ravari®, a cutting-edge dual mode-of-action insecticide tailored for fruit and vegetable growers in Latin America targeting export markets, particularly the United States.

Ravari® stands out by integrating the distinct advantages of two active ingredients, novaluron and CTPR, in a water-based suspension concentrate formulation made possible by ADAMA's proprietary Ayalon™ Formulation Technology. This advanced product not only provides farmers with a vital tool for effective resistance management but also ensures consistent pest control throughout the entire lifecycle of numerous pests. By attacking pests in their vulnerable egg and larval stages, Ravari® helps in preemptively disrupting the pest lifecycle, thereby safeguarding the quality and yield of crops.

The Ayalon™ technology enhances the biological performance of the formulation, boosting its spreading, rainfastness, and penetration capabilities. These improvements are instrumental in optimizing performance while minimizing the reliance on organic solvents, thus benefiting both the environment and the effectiveness of pest management strategies.

Sandeep Sandhu, Head of Global Insecticides at ADAMA, emphasized the pressing need for robust solutions amidst the evolving agricultural landscape, stating, "Today, fruit and vegetable growers demand efficient products that not only protect the integrity of their crops but also support comprehensive resistance management while complying with the strict demands posed by export markets. Ravari® was meticulously engineered to meet these requirements, effectively interrupting pest lifecycles, ensuring reliable control, and ultimately bolstering crop performance and profitability for growers."

Ravari® is designed to be versatile across a myriad of fruit and vegetable crops, ensuring broad-spectrum control against chewing pests and many other significant threats. It is suitable for application from the flowering stage up to pre-harvest and offers flexible tank-mix compatibility. A one-day pre-harvest interval is recommended for crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and avocados, allowing for seamless integration into existing farming practices.

Extensive field trials have validated the product’s effectiveness across various crops and pest challenges, showcasing its strong performance relative to competing products. The ability of Ravari® to deliver reliable pest control contributes significantly to yield protection and, consequently, enhances grower profitability.

Commercial availability of Ravari® will commence in September 2026, marking a significant advancement in pest management solutions for Latin American farmers.
