Rovensa Next’s Naturdai Mim®
Rovensa Next focuses on organic and sustainable agriculture. Their latest product, Naturdai Mim®, stands out as a biofungicide for application on avocado trees, which has seen significant growth in Peru.
Registration as a Biological Pesticide
The Peruvian agricultural authority granted Naturdai Mim® registration as a Plant Extract-based Biological Pesticide, marking a significant step forward in sustainable crop protection.

Mode of Action and Application
Naturdai Mim® operates through a systemic action, targeting fungi’s reproductive structures. It causes irreversible inhibition, denaturation of enzymes, and membrane rupture, effectively suppressing fungal growth. Recommended application is at the onset of pest attack, with 3 to 7 applications per season, depending on disease severity.
Strategic Importance for Avocado Cultivation

Organic Compliance and Safety
With its CAAE and OMRI certifications, Naturdai Mim® adheres to the strict standards of organic agriculture. It leaves no synthetic residues, eliminating the need for a re-entry period, and poses no risk of phytotoxicity when used per guidelines.
