Specialized Insecticide Technologies and Spectra
BASF research focuses on developing targeted active ingredients that control difficult and resistant insect pests while fitting modern integrated pest management (IPM) practices.
Their formulations deliver long residual control and distinct modes of action that break pest resistance cycles.
- Broflanilide (Exponus): Novel meta-diamide chemistry (IRAC Group 30) for resistant chewing caterpillars, fall armyworm, and thrips.
- Fipronil formulations: Broad-spectrum phenylpyrazoles (Regent) controlling stem borers, leaf folders, and soil-borne termites.
- Sucking pest management: Targeted solutions providing translaminar penetration against whiteflies, jassids, and aphids.
- High rainfastness: Formulated to adhere firmly to waxy foliage, resisting wash-off from sudden monsoon showers.
Responsible Application and Stewardship
Sustainable insecticide performance requires rotating chemical classes, strictly adhering to label dosages, and avoiding overuse.
Applicators must follow comprehensive safety protocols during handling, dilution, and spraying.
- Purchase genuine products from authorized agro-dealers, verifying official holographic seals and batch QR codes.
- Wear full personal protective equipment including protective coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and face mask.
- Follow approved pre-harvest intervals (PHI) to maintain safe maximum residue limits (MRL) in harvested produce.

Common questions
What major insecticide molecules are developed by BASF in India?
Key molecules include Broflanilide (Exponus), Fipronil (Regent), and specialized combinations targeting caterpillars, borers, and sucking pests.
How does BASF Exponus help manage insecticide resistance?
Broflanilide acts on a unique GABA receptor site (IRAC Group 30), making it effective against pests resistant to older pyrethroids and organophosphates.
Where can farmers verify official dosage recommendations for BASF products?
Approved crop dosages, target pests, and safety intervals are printed on the product leaflet approved by the CIBRC.
