As field conditions continue to shift, growers are paying closer attention to crop management practices that can improve plant stability, reduce losses, and support better harvest quality. In this issue, we highlight several practical solutions being used to manage flower drop, improve fruit formation, and strengthen disease prevention under challenging growing conditions.

🥒 MULTISUC & A-PlusCal: Supporting Better Fruit Set and Lower Flower Drop

In crops such as cucumber, chilli, and brinjal, unstable weather can affect flowering, pollination, and early fruit development. High temperatures, prolonged rain, and nutrient imbalance often lead to flower drop, misshapen fruit, and weaker fruit setting. The combination of MULTISUC and A-PlusCal is being used by growers as a practical foliar nutrition programme to support stronger flowering performance and more stable fruit development. By improving nutrient availability and strengthening plant structure, this approach helps reduce flower loss, lower split fruit risk, and improve overall fruit uniformity.

🌳 VALIS-M: Early Protection Against Phytophthora Disease

Disease pressure remains a key concern during wet and humid periods, especially when Phytophthora begins affecting stems, roots, or fruit. VALIS-M is being applied as a preventive and early-stage disease management tool to help suppress infection before it spreads further. With its targeted fungicidal action, it supports more effective control of Phytophthora-related disease problems and gives growers a more reliable option for protecting crop health during vulnerable periods.

🍈 Managing Durian Black Rot More Effectively with Systemic Fungicide Support

Black rot in durian remains one of the more serious orchard concerns, particularly during continuous rainy periods when moisture levels stay high and infection can spread more easily through wounds or weakened tissue. Growers are increasingly focusing on earlier intervention and more structured disease management to reduce long-term damage. Systemic fungicide solutions such as VALIS-M are being used to support this effort by helping control disease development from the early stage, reducing spread, and improving recovery potential when combined with proper field hygiene and timely application.

At Advansia, we continue to focus on practical, field-tested solutions that match the real conditions faced by Malaysian growers. Whether the need is better flower retention, stronger fruit development, or more reliable disease control, timely action and suitable crop strategies remain key to achieving more stable results in the field.
