New packaging makes chemical handling safer and quicker

Crop protection firm, Adama, has announced the launch of a new range of easy-to-use packaging for its portfolio of herbicide, fungicide and insecticide products. Charlotte Cunningham reports. Featuring design elements which are the result of feedback from farmers and sprayer operators, a range of new containers from Adama will make it easier, quicker and safer to use a range of crop protection products, according to the firm. The new 5 litre containers feature a standard 63mm diameter pouring neck which is now sealed with a foil-less, easy grip cap which claims to require less torque and effort to open.

Alto Elite was a perfect example - only supplied in 5l cans.....yet SAN703 also a Syngenta product of identical composition was available in 10l cans.
