UPL Sustainable Agri Solutions (SAS), an integrated AgTech platform of UPL Ltd., has introduced Fascinate Flash, a safe to use, sustainable and innovative solution to redefine weed control practices in Indian tea plantations. Fascinate Flash revolutionizes weed management with rapid action, extended control, and crop safety, positively impacting economic and environmental aspects of tea farming.
Fascinate Flash swiftly penetrates weed leaves, leading to rapid withering and elimination within just four hours of application. Fascinate Flash effectively eradicates weeds, inhibits seed germination, and reduces herbicide usage, ensuring a weed-free environment and reduced herbicide usage. This reduces product and labor expenses, increases return on investment, and contributes to the industry’s long-term economic advancement. Ashish Dobhal, CEO of UPL SAS, said, “This marks another stride in our commitment to empower farmers with solutions that enhance productivity, nurture sustainability, and generate exceptional returns on investment, all while maintaining the balance of our environment.”
UPL SAS plans to treat 20,000 acres of tea estates in India with Fascinate Flash in 2023, aiming to improve tea industry growth through innovative solutions at the 3-4 weed leaf stage.
