Label compliance and CIBRC verification
Farmers must follow statutory product labels to ensure food safety and prevent chemical residue issues.
- Every authorized BASF product features a CIBRC registration certificate number printed on the carton and bottle label.
- Follow the approved crop, target disease or pest, and dosage printed in the official leaflet.

- Check batch number, manufacturing date, and intact tamper-evident caps before buying.
Application stewardship and resistance prevention
Responsible pesticide management preserves chemical effectiveness over successive crop seasons.
- Rotate fungicides and insecticides with different modes of action to prevent resistance development.
- Use clean, neutral spray water and ensure calibrated spray pressure for uniform canopy misting.
- Wear protective clothing, gloves, and masks during chemical handling; dispose of empty rinsed containers safely.
