WACOT Agrochemical and Fertiliser Limited, a member of the Tropical General Investments Group, has introduced its advanced herbicide, Dragon Super, made to redefine weed management, to farmers in the South-West.
The recent event attracted over 5,000 farmers and traditional heads in Iseyin, Oyo State.
The herbicide, Dragon Super, was launched in Abuja in 2023.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of WACOT, Murari Sharma, stressed the technological innovation and economic advantages of Dragon Super.
The company’s boss noted that the introduction of the new herbicide would address a crucial pain point for farmers, offering many benefits that promise to revolutionise farming practices in Nigeria.
According to Sharma, the major benefit of the product is the enhanced duration of weed control.
He said, “Dragon Super provides an extended period of weed control, effectively eliminating weeds for up to 30 days after application.”
This prolonged efficacy ensures a sustained weed-free environment, enabling farmers to concentrate on crop cultivation.
“Dragon Super is not just a product but a technology. This technology says, ‘Half dose, Double Result.’ Food insecurity is a major problem across the world, including Nigeria.
“Therefore, there is an urgent need to creatively improve yield. With our Dragon Super comes yield enhancement. The product not only kills the weeds, it also boosts crop production by a minimum of 25 per cent. Moreover, Dragon Super is significantly more affordable than competing brands, despite guaranteeing double the potency.”
Also, the firm’s Director of Human Resources, Amaka Bifom, added, “Dragon Super is a herbicide that has been designed to help farmers control weeds in their farmlands efficiently. One of the major issues farmers face is weed management, which significantly impacts their productivity. This product is specifically formulated to tackle this problem effectively, ensuring that farmers can maintain clean fields and focus on increasing their crop yields.”
