Corteva Agriscience, a US-based agrichemicals and seed developer, has announced the launch of IPM Pro app, a new mobile application (app) that can help growers to protect their crops and secure a resilient and sustainable agriculture system.
By using the IPM Pro app, farmers can now measure the potential impact of substances such as Isoclast active, Spinetoram, Spinosad and Methoxyfenozide on beneficial insects and pollinators.
The tool also offers information for safe use of Corteva’s insecticides such as Closer, Runner, Intrepid, Spintor, Tracer, Success, Delegate and Exalt.
Using the app, which is available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store, users can access details on pests, beneficial insects and pollinators along with its recommendations and solutions that can help growers produce a generous amount of harvest.
Corteva Agriscience Insecticide & Nematicide (INM) program leader Sylvain Bedel said: “IPM Pro is an excellent tool which enables farmers to keep track of pests and apply products in a targeted way.
“This is just one example of Corteva’s commitment to providing growers with a toolbox of solutions while reducing the environmental impact of insect management in line with societal expectations for greater sustainability.
“Corteva is committed to helping growers as they strive towards a more sustainable agriculture and this app will help them protect the beneficial insects and pollinators which are so crucial to our ecosystem.”
The company further stated that the launch of the app is in line with its vision to develop a resilient food system, set out in its 2030 sustainability strategy.
