As growers continue adjusting to changing field conditions, the focus remains on solutions that are practical, efficient, and suitable for real farm challenges. In this issue, we highlight several product approaches being used to improve fruit development, manage recurring pest pressure, and support more stable crop performance across different planting systems.

🍆 Pyriproxyfen 10.8EC: A More Strategic Approach to Pest Control

Many growers face the same issue in the field: pest numbers drop after spraying, but return again not long after. This is especially common with pests such as whiteflies, aphids, and psyllids, where repeated outbreaks place pressure on crop health and spraying costs. Pyriproxyfen 10.8EC offers a different approach by acting as an insect growth regulator (IGR), helping to disrupt pest development and reproduction instead of relying only on quick knockdown. This makes it a useful tool for growers who want more stable and longer-term pest management.

🌶 AMIKO® 10.8EC: Effective Support Against Whitefly Pressure

Whitefly remains a major concern in chilli production, especially when populations build quickly and begin affecting crop quality and plant performance. AMIKO® 10.8EC is being used to help suppress whitefly eggs and immature stages, reducing successful development and helping growers lower pest pressure earlier in the cycle. With a more targeted mode of action, it supports better field control and fits well into structured pest management programmes.

🍈 XL + A-PlusCal: Supporting Bigger Fruit and Reducing Split Fruit Risk

In durian production, fruit development requires more than just strong vegetative growth. During fruit setting and fruit expansion stages, stable nutrient support becomes especially important to improve fruit size, strengthen fruit structure, and reduce physiological problems such as fruit splitting. The combination of XL and A-PlusCal is being used by growers as a practical nutrition programme to strengthen leaf function, improve nutrient movement, and provide calcium support for firmer and more stable fruit development. This helps growers improve fruit quality while reducing losses before harvest.

At Advansia, we continue to focus on field-tested solutions that match the real needs of Malaysian growers. Whether the priority is managing recurring pests, supporting fruit development, or improving crop consistency, the right results begin with timely action and suitable field strategies.
