Active ingredients

Active ingredients for the production of raw materials in bulk

Every effective plant protection product starts with one key element, the active ingredient. This is the very molecule on which the effect of the drug depends: the destruction of the pest, stopping the development of the disease or protecting the crop. At REVADA Agro you can buy active ingredients in bulk — for herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other types of agricultural products.

Our catalog contains compounds with proven effects, tested according to Russian and international standards. We control the quality at all stages: from purchase to shipment. Upon request, we will provide documentation and samples for testing.

Why is this important? Because the effectiveness of the drug depends on which compound is selected. One works on seedlings, the other only at a certain temperature. If you need to find the best solution, we will help you.

What is the active ingredient and how does it work

The active ingredient is the basis of the drug. It provides a targeted effect: it neutralizes pests, inhibits the growth of fungi or stops the development of weeds.

Each such compound has a unique CAS number (Chemical Abstracts Service), which is used in international databases for accurate identification.

According to the principle of action, the ingredients are divided into several groups:

• Contact — they act upon direct contact with an object. They provide a quick but short-term effect.
• Systemic — they penetrate into the plant and are distributed through the tissues, act from the inside, and are not washed off by rain.
• Selective — affect only certain types of weeds or pests, without affecting cultivated plants.
• Continuous action — destroy all vegetation. They are used for complete cleaning of fields before sowing.

The choice depends on many factors: culture, processing conditions, climate and application purposes. REVADA Agro specialists will help you choose the right option.

Application regulations and registration

In Russia, active connections are subject to mandatory registration. This is a prerequisite: only approved components are allowed for use. Before registration, state tests are carried out, including:

• assessment of biological activity,
• safety testing for humans and the environment,
• compatibility analysis with other components,
• study of stability in soil and water.

Information about approved compounds is published on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and in the state register of the Russian Federation.

The EU has stricter requirements. The REACH Regulation and the EU Pesticides Database contain complete dossiers for each approved substance. To enter the European market, you need to go through:

• environmental and toxicological expertise,
• scientific justification of effectiveness,
• assessment by the European Safety Agency EFSA.

REVADA Agro takes both approaches into account and helps to select ingredients with tolerances, both for the domestic market and for export.

Categories of active substances in the REVADA Agro catalog

Herbicides and desiccants

They are used to eliminate unwanted vegetation. Among the common molecules are glyphosate and dicamba. The range includes both long-acting drugs and solutions for specific crops, such as winter wheat.

Insecticides

Protect plants from insect pests. Key groups include neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and carbamates. Suitable for processing different types of crops and weather conditions.

Fungicides

They prevent and stop the development of fungal diseases. Popular active ingredients include azoxystrobine, tebuconazole, and propiconazole. They are relevant for regions with high humidity.

Rodenticides

The purpose is to control the number of rodents. Components such as bromadiolone and diphetialon are effective and comply with safety standards.

Repellents

They are used to protect against insects. Among the active compounds are DEET, picaridin, and oils of natural origin. They are effective in conditions of increased activity of disease vectors.

Selection parameters for formulations

When developing a formulation, it is important to take into account not only the biological effect, but also the technological properties of the active ingredient. Otherwise, the formula may exfoliate, precipitate, or become unstable during storage.

What should be considered when selecting:

• Compatibility — the ingredient must be combined with other substances: dispersants, emulsifiers, preservatives.
• Solubility — determines whether it is suitable for an aqueous base, an oil phase, or a suspension.
• Particle size — affects the stability, uniformity of distribution and digestibility of the plant.
• Behavior in the system — resistance to temperature, tendency to foaming, precipitation or aggregation.

The formulation affects the selection of auxiliary substances. For example:

• CS (microcapsulated suspensions) — shell components are needed: polyols, polyamines, isocyanates.
• EC, EW, ME (emulsion forms) — emulsifiers and stabilizers are important, as well as preservatives (BIT, CMIT).
• OD (oil dispersions) — viscosity modifiers and antifreeze are used: glycerin, propylene glycol.
• SC, FS, SE (suspensions and suspensions) — anti-shrink additives, silica, rheological modifiers are critical.
• WG, WDG, DF (granules) — solubility, granule strength, fluidity, and uniformity of dispersion are important.

REVADA Agro takes these parameters into account when selecting. Let’s tell you which solution is best suited to your formula — whether it’s SC or WG, resistant to high temperatures and long-term storage.
