Image of YaraVita® STOPIT™
YaraVita STOPIT is formulated from food grade calcium chloride to ensure crop safety and freedom from harmful impurities. Trials have consistently shown YaraVita Stopit to be safer and more effective than other chloride-based products giving improved returns to growers. In many countries, it has become the industry "benchmark". YaraVita Stopit is less corrosive to machinery and equipment than traditional products.

The liquid formulation makes it easy to measure, pour and mix the product in the spray tank.

The product is specifically formulated to provide maximum crop safety. This helps to ensure that the application will not cause damage to the crop which can reduce its market value.

The purity of raw materials selected for this product makes it safe for application to the crop and helps ensure that the harvested produce will not be rejected at any point in the supply chain.

A broad tank mixability makes it easy to co-apply the products with agrochemicals, saving both time and money. Just as important, free access to Tankmix information online or via smartphones makes it quick and easy to check whether products can be co-applied.
