Dhanuka Agritech Limited, one of India’s leading agri-input companies, announced the rollout of “Polin”, a new-generation fungicide developed through its strategic technical collaboration with Japan’s Nippon Soda Co. Ltd (NISSO) to protect Indian paddy crops against leaf and neck blast disease of rice.  Powered by KINIPROL technology, Polin introduces a novel DHODHI mode of action classified under FRAC 52.

Applied at a calibrated dose of 100 ml per acre in 200 liters of water, Polin provides long-lasting residual control when applied at first sign of infection during critical crop growth stages.

Polin has been launched across different parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, where Dhanuka has also initiated awareness drives among paddy farmers to promote effective management of leaf and neck blast. Rahul Dhanuka, Managing Director of Dhanuka Agritech Limited mentioned that with Polin, the firm is delivering patented Japanese chemistry with a new mode of action for control of rice blast. It gives farmers deeper and more durable protection from blast to healthy grains, cutting out repetitive spray costs, he said.
