Farmers Organisation Limited (FOL) is marketing and distributing Syngenta’s actellic gold dust in addition to its premium MRI maize seed brand.

Actellic gold dust is an insecticide for use against grain storage pests, grain weevil, red flour beetle and lesser grain borer in maize and other grain products. These include beans, groundnuts, rice, soya beans and pigeon peas. It preserves grain for a period of at least nine months.

Actellic gold dust will be sold in 200mg bottles, which is enough for eight bags of 50kg of any commodity. It is available across Malawi through agro-dealers and FOL outlets in Blantyre, Lilongwe and Mzuzu.
