🍌Sumitomo Chemical Enhances Agricultural Solutions for Banana Plantations in Latin America and Southeast Asia
Sumitomo Chemical is newly launching two of its products for banana plantations with Powmyl® 25 SC
fungicide in five Latin American countries such as Ecuador and RyzUp® 40 SG plant growth regulator in the
Philippines.
Powmyl® 25 SCshows excellent control efficacy against Black Sigatoka, a significant disease onbanana crops
which reduces crop yield by up to 50%. The fungicide’s active ingredient, diethofencarb, is expected to act as
an effective means in managing risks associated with the development of fungicide resistance because it has
a unique mode of action different from those of other fungicides used against the disease currently or in the
past.News Releases / by SUMITOMO CHEMICAL
