Totagars’ Cooperative Sale Society (TSS) Ltd at Sirsi in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka has launched ‘TSS Fighter’, a growth hormone for arecanut plants, under its own brand.
Ravish Hegde, General Manager of TSS Ltd, told
BusinessLine that ‘TSS Fighter’, which is a pre-monsoon foliar spray, is a botanical extract. The product is aimed at fighting fruit rot disease in the arecanut plantations during the monsoon season.
Stating that this will have to be sprayed around 15 days prior to monsoon, he said this spray helps in building immunity among arecanut plants. This, in turn, helps in controlling fungus that is responsible for the fruit rot disease in the arecanut plantations.
