We are pleased to announce the launch of our new product, Altinco Grinward®, an innovative eco-friendly insecticide specifically designed to combat pests such as aphids, psyllids, and whiteflies. This product not only meets the current demands of agriculture but is also successfully undergoing registration in several European countries. We expect it to become a highly effective and environmentally responsible solution.

A product designed for the future of agriculture

Altinco Grinward® is the result of years of research and development, creating a product that complies with European Organic Farming regulations (CE 2018/848 2021/1165) and is Ecocert certified. In a world where consumers and producers demand sustainable and residue-free solutions, Altinco Grinward® stands out for its ability to control pests without compromising soil health or crop quality.

Thanks to its unique formulation, based on Altinco Exact Nature®, this eco-friendly insecticide delivers a powerful knockdown effect through contact, offering a triple-action approach against pests. Additionally, its low application rate (approximately 2 L/ha) and residue-free nature make it ideal for use on crops close to harvest, ensuring no risk to consumer health or harm to crops.

Innovation in pest control

What sets Altinco Grinward® apart from other products on the market is its formulation, which includes 20% paraffin oil. This ensures better coverage and reduces the risk of phytotoxicity. Tested in over 150 official trials, this insecticide provides full control over the entire insect life cycle (eggs, nymphs, and adults), ensuring comprehensive protection and reducing the likelihood of reinfestation.

Among its technical advantages, the physical mode of action of Altinco Grinward® prevents the development of resistance in pests, a common issue with many conventional insecticides. Furthermore, its formulation is biodegradable and compatible with beneficial fauna, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and its suitability for organic farming.

Success in European registration

Since its launch, Altinco Grinward® has proven to be an attractive solution for European farmers seeking eco-friendly alternatives for pest control. The product is currently being registered in various European countries, receiving very positive feedback. Its flexibility for year-round application and its ability to integrate into Integrated Pest Management programs make it a key option for the future of sustainable agriculture in Europe.

Altinco Grinward®: A versatile ally

In addition to its direct effectiveness against pests, Altinco Grinward® offers other significant benefits for farmers. Its cleaning effect removes the honeydew produced by insects on leaves and fruits, preventing the formation of sooty mold. It also acts as an adjuvant, improving the adhesion of other insecticides and fungicides, and enhancing their penetration into plant tissues. This not only increases the effectiveness of treatments but also optimizes farmers’ resources.

At Altinco, we are proud to offer innovative solutions that address the current needs of agriculture. If you are interested in learning more about Altinco Grinward® and how it can help you improve pest control in your crops, we invite you to contact us.

Biostimulants for fruit set: keys to improving crop productivity

Environmental conditions can compromise the success of fruit set, one of the most critical stages in the cycle of fruit and vegetable crops. During this process, the fertilized flower begins its transformation into fruit, defining the yield of the harvest. Factors such as extreme temperatures or water stress can reduce both the quantity and quality of production. Biostimulants are the key to optimizing this process, helping plants overcome these challenges and ensuring a more stable and profitable harvest.

Soil Quality: Key to sustainable agricultural production

Soil is much more than a support system for crops: it is a living ecosystem that determines the health and productivity of plants. However, soil degradation is one of the greatest challenges facing modern agriculture. Preserving and improving soil quality is essential to ensure the sustainability of the agricultural sector and global food security.
