BASF expands its global insecticide portfolio

 BASF’s Inscalis® insecticide receives registration in key markets
throughout the globe
 Regulatory dossiers submitted for Broflanilide insecticide in the United
States, Canada, Mexico, India and Australia
BASF has received the first global registrations in Australia and India for the
new active ingredient, Inscalis® insecticide. The company anticipates further
registrations in the United States (U.S.), Canada, Mexico, China, and Argentina.
The active ingredient was discovered by the Japanese company Meiji Seika Pharma
Co. Ltd (Meiji) and the Kitasato Institute, specifically 2015 Nobel Prize recipient,
Doctor Satoshi Omura, and co-developed with Meiji. BASF also reached the next
milestone for the insecticide active ingredient Broflanilide. The company submitted
the regulatory dossier in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, India and Australia, with
additional registration submissions planned in upcoming years for key markets
worldwide. Inscalis® insecticide and Broflanilide are two pioneering and
highly-effective
insecticide active ingredients that will strengthen BASF’s
insect-control
offering.
«Inscalis insecticide’s unique mode of action is a result of collaborative and
innovative scientific methods, like white biotechnology, leveraged to create a precise
solution for controlling piercing-sucking pests, including hemiptera, such as aphids,
whiteflies, psyllids, scales, and leafhoppers, and it is the first of its kind in the BASF
portfolio,» said Neil Bentley, Vice President Global Strategic Marketing, Insecticides,
BASF’s Crop Protection division. Derived from a natural fermentation process,

Inscalis® insecticide has a favorable environmental profile exhibiting minimal impact
to important beneficial arthropods and pollinators. With a quick onset of action,
Inscalis® insecticide quickly stops insect pests’ feeding, reducing nutrient loss and
vectoring of harmful viral/bacterial pathogens. The results are healthier plants and
optimal yields with higher quality. Inscalis® insecticide will be available in several
high-performing
formulations to provide farmers with an essential tool for resistance
and integrated pest management programs.
Broflanilide is a powerful and versatile insecticide for farmers and pest management
professionals seeking a top-performing pest control tool. Co-developed with Mitsui
Chemicals Agro, Inc. (MCAG), it has a novel mode of action (IRAC Group 30)
without known cross-resistance that delivers excellent efficacy in controlling
problematic chewing insect pests, including Lepidoptera, beetles, and certain thrips
in specialty and row crops, and urban and rural pests such as termites, ants,
cockroaches and flies. Broflanilide insecticide also has exceptional performance in
cereal seed treatment for wireworm control.
«This milestone with Broflanilide supports our goal of developing an insecticide
portfolio that helps farmers worldwide,» said Juergen Huff, Senior Vice President
Global Strategic Marketing, BASF Crop Protection. «The new active ingredient
reaffirms our commitment to work across geographies ensuring our customers are
able to treat a variety of crop and non-crop pests with powerful and versatile new
solutions.»
The development of Inscalis® insecticide and Broflanilide demonstrate BASF’s
ongoing focus on providing innovative and effective solutions to help farmers
produce healthy, high quality crops safely and profitably.
