Farmers faced unpredictable weather natural resources. We reduced the impact of our product packaging through design events, rising input costs, price volatility, continued changes that save transportation costs, reducing the amount of plastic used, and high interest rates, and an unstable geopolitical incorporating more recycled material. We collaborated with industry peers and regulators to digitize product labels, ensuring farmers can easily access information environment. As a leading manufacturer of crop on the safe use of products, and partnered with agricultural technology firms to protection solutions, ADAMA was also negatively impacted by these global trends, complement our offerings with innovative solutions like precision drone spraying. together with the rest of our peers. At the core of our dedication to sustainability lies our ongoing commitment to Throughout this unpredictable period, we remained focused and resolute on two minimize our ecological footprint. Over the last three years, we have allocated more key areas.

Unlike many other fungicides, modes of action. ? there is no pre-harvest interval for Actavan , which gives farmers more freedom With Atena?, farmers benefit from improved control of Powdery Mildew and to plan crop treatment schedules. other fungicidal pathogens. It also acts to promote fruit growth and development ? As a biological product, Actavan is compatible with organic farming and Integrated and protect the fruit during critical periods of fruit set and color break, resulting in Pest Management (IPM) practices. It represents a significant innovation in ADAMA’s higher quality fruit and increased yields. It induces the plants’ resistance to fungal biological offering and complements the existing ADAMA portfolio by providing pathogens which helps increase crop resilience and provide long-term protection effective and reliable fungicidal action for all types of farming using a novel active against fungal diseases. ingredient. ?

The product targets a broad spectrum of sucking ? more nitrogen from the air and soil. In this way, Veradyn increases crop quality pests and other soft-bodied insects and mites. and yields while reducing the need for nitrogen-based fertilizers that have a high carbon footprint. Andybug? is biodegradable, without any PHI or phytotoxicity, making it ideal as part of Integrated Pest Management strategies and sustainable farming. The solution ? Veradyn is compatible with almost all crop protection products and commonly used works by suffocating and dehydrating sucking pests that destroy crops and ruin yields, cereal fertilizers. It is highly resistant to salinity, sodium, chlorine, and carbonates, while the layer of product on the leaves also deters insects from entering the stylus in and is effective in a wide range of pH and temperatures and independent of soil the plant. Because it operates using mechanical action, resistance is not expected to moisture. This empowers farmers to apply it at the right point in crop development, develop, making Andybug? a powerful insecticide for long-term use.PORTFOLIO STEWARDSHIP We are committed to the responsible and ethical management of our products C.U.I.D.A. throughout their lifecycle, and to ensuring that they are used correctly to protect Promoting Soil Health the health and safety of farmers, the public, and the environment.
