India: Crystal Crop Protection Limited today announced the launch of six next-generation innovations for the Kharif 2026 season. Designed to address evolving pest pressures, unpredictable weather patterns and changing disease dynamics, the new portfolio has been developed through extensive research, rigorous field validation and farmer-centric product development. These launches reinforce Crystal’s commitment to helping farmers build profitable farms through science-backed innovation.
Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Managing Director, Crystal Crop Protection, said, “Indian agriculture is evolving rapidly. Climate uncertainty, changing pest dynamics and rising expectations from every acre demand a new generation of agricultural innovation. At Crystal, we believe innovation must solve real challenges in the farmer’s field while remaining practical, accessible and affordable. These six technologies reflect our commitment to helping farmers improve productivity, profitability and long-term sustainability.”
Sohit Satyawali, Chief Business Officer – Brands Business, Crystal Crop Protection, said, “Every innovation in this portfolio has been developed after extensive field validation across diverse agro-climatic regions to address the evolving needs of Indian farmers. While solutions like Takuro introduce a new benchmark in weed management for maize, KGR-T reflects our commitment to advancing crop nutrition through next-generation technologies. Together with our latest fungicide and insecticide innovations, these launches strengthen our ability to offer farmers and channel partners a comprehensive portfolio that delivers on the promise of building profitable farms.”
To strengthen its leadership in the soybean herbicide segment, Crystal has introduced “Samorian” for soybean, featuring a patented three-way mode of action against grasses and broadleaf weeds.
Addressing complex weed challenges in maize, Crystal has also launched its patented combination herbicide “Takuro”, which offers three-layer weed management with rapid systemic action and long-lasting residual control.
Together, these technologies help reduce weed competition and support stronger crop establishment.
