Andermatt Canada and Caltech Announce Registration of Spodovir Plus® in Paraguay
Hanwell, NB — Andermatt Canada, in collaboration with distribution partner Caltech, is proud to announce the successful registration of Spodovir Plus® in Paraguay. This achievement marks another milestone in the global expansion of this innovative solution for the control of fall armyworm, an economically significant pest impacting growers worldwide.
Spodovir Plus® is a groundbreaking biological solution based on a new isolate of the Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrovirus. Already registered in Brazil and available for emergency use in Australia, Spodovir Plus® continues to gain recognition for its effectiveness in combating fall armyworm while promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
Samantha Haley, Global Product Manager, shared her excitement about this achievement: “Expanding Spodovir Plus® into Paraguay demonstrates our commitment to providing growers with effective, sustainable solutions to protect their crops. Fall armyworm significantly affects key crops in Paraguay, including corn, soybeans, and sorghum, causing devastating economic losses for farmers. By offering Spodovir Plus®, we aim to help growers combat this pest efficiently, restoring balance to their operations and supporting the broader agricultural economy. This achievement is only possible through our local presence with distributor Caltech, who focuses exclusively on biologicals, aligning with our vision of healthy food and a healthy environment for all.”
The success of this registration was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Andermatt Group AG Regulatory Department, whose leadership was instrumental in achieving this milestone. We also extend our gratitude to everyone involved in the process for their unwavering support and expertise.
Spodovir Plus® is designed with growers in mind. Its liquid formulation offers unmatched convenience and ease of use, ensuring seamless integration into farming operations. With its unique mode of action, Spodovir Plus® serves as an essential tool for resistance management and fits perfectly into integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Suitable for both conventional and organic farming systems, it provides growers with an effective, user-friendly solution to tackle fall armyworm infestations.
The registration of Spodovir Plus® in Paraguay represents an important step forward in Andermatt Canada’s mission to deliver biological-based solutions that safeguard crops, support growers, and promote sustainable agriculture globally.
