Description

Sefina is an insecticide that contains Afidopyropen 5% DC, which is used to protect crops from harmful insects and pests. It also promotes the healthy growth of crops. Sefina, powered by BASF’s new active ingredient Inscalis, is the first of its kind from a new chemical class – Pyropenes. Inscalis is a pioneer solution that has been classified by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) as the only member in the new mode of action subgroup 9D. With its new mode of action, Sefina gives farmers a new and powerful tool to combat resistance as part of the integrated pest management program. The chordotonal organs, present in insects but not in other classes of animals, are the biological stretch sensors. Inscalis acts selectively on these stretch sensors, causing the insects to be deaf, disoriented, and uncoordinated, eventually stopping to feed and dying from dehydration and starvation. Sefina is suitable for crops such as Cotton, Cucumber, and Brinjal. Aphids, Whiteflies, Citrus psyllids, Jassids, and other insects.
