    Codeva's efforts to strengthen its seed treatment portfolio in Brazil have recently expanded the use of the company's Dermacor® (active ingredient: chlorantranilamide) to sorghum, rice and
    legumines.
    Chinese
     
    The company's actions related to Bt GM technology, in addition to addressing underlying diseases of crops, provide extensive control of soil and foliar pests, provide excellent seedling protection, quickly promote crop growth, and protect farmers' most important asset: seeds
    .
     
    "Dermacor® has been used for growth management of soybeans and maize, protecting crops from major pests at the beginning of growth, and is an important partner
    for sorghum, rice and legume growers.
    Due to its transport effect, it is absorbed by the roots of the crop and carried to the leaves, protecting not only the seeds but also the early stages of crop growth, providing farmers with higher quality and wider control," said
    Dante Queiroz, Head of Seed Treatment Products at Corteva.
     
    In the case of rice, producers have faced great challenges in the past: the model of action against the root worm (Oryzophagus oryzae, which reduces crop yields by up to 20%) in different parts of Brazil has been used for many years
    .
    Dermacor?, applying a new principle of action, has a very different
    approach to controlling resistance to this pest in crop growth management.
     
    In sorghum cultivation, the product is used to control the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, one of the main threats to crops).

    According to Embrapa, the pest causes between 17% and 38.
    7% of losses
    in production.
    For legume cultivation, the solution provides effective control of Elasmo Caterpillar, a pest infested in Brazil's main crop producing areas
    .
    This is the most serious pest inflicted on common bean seedlings and tends to occur early in
    crop growth.
