Best Agrolife Limited (BAL) recently held a Mega Distributors’ Meet in Pattaya, Bangkok, and launched two new CTPR-based formulations, Citigen and Vistara.
Best Agrolife is the first Indian agrochemical company to produce CTPR technology on its own. The event was exclusively for Maharashtra distributors. Mr. Raajan Kumar Ailawadhi, Executive Director of Best Agrolife Limited, and the entire marketing team of Best Agrolife Limited, as well as over 170 distributors, attended this event.
Vimal Alawadhi, Managing Director of Best Agrolife Ltd., says, “We are raising the bar of innovation with every new product launch. Best Agro has invested heavily in enhancing its research and development capabilities. As is the case with each of our products, the newly launched Citigen and Vistara provide highly effective and affordable solutions to pest control in agriculture. While on the one hand, these will be a boon for the farmers and enhance their productivity, they will also provide our distributors and dealers with a marketing edge.”
There is extensive usage of CTPR (Chlorantraniliprole) based products, and its market size is more than Rs. 2000 crore at present, which is a total of 8 per cent of the pesticide market.
Citigen and Vistara
Citigen (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% W/W SC) is a broad-spectrum insecticide with high insecticide efficacy, extended rain fastness, and low mammalian toxicity. Citigen is highly recommended for controlling pests in cabbage, cotton, tomato, chilli, soybean, brinjal, pigeon pea, Bengal gramme, black gramme, bitter gourd, okra, maize, and groundnut crop, in addition to sugarcane and rice. Ball worms, stem borers, fruit borers, gramme pod borers, stem flies, tobacco caterpillars, and pod borers are all targets.
Vistara (Chlorantraniliprole 0.4 percent GR) prevents the growth of shoot borer and stem borer populations in paddy and sugarcane, protecting growers from crop yield losses and maximising output.
