Provivi® announces regulatory approval of first sprayable pheromone product for the control of Fall Armyworm in Brazil.

On August, 20, 2020, Provivi, a emerging Los Angeles-based biotechnology company using pheromones to protect crops from major damaging insects, announced the regulatory approval in Brazil of its pheromone based mating disruption product
for the control of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda).

The approval to commercialize our pheromone product by the regulatory authorities in Brazil is the first for a liquid foliar sprayable formulation against Fall Armyworm. It marks the first step in a shift towards a new concept for controlling this pest. The product is approved for use in any relevant crops attacked by the Fall Armyworm.

“This registration marks the beginning of a new era of effective, affordable, and preventative protection against Fall Armyworm. For Provivi®, farmers are the cornerstone of our organization.
