Best Agrolife Obtains Five New Technical Registrations from CIBRC

Indian agrochemical company Best Agrolife Ltd. has obtained registrations from the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIBRC) to indigenously manufacture five new technicals, according to the Business Standard. These technicals are Ametryn, Metiram, Clothianidin, Cyazofamid, and Pinoxaden, and a 9(3) FIM vs FI registration for Metiram 55% + Pyraclostrobin 5% WG. The technicals have the potential to benefit Indian agriculture immensely and increase the crop production by eliminating harmful weeds and pests.

Talking individually about the formulations, Ametryn is a herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds and annual grasses in pineapple, sugarcane and bananas and for general weed control in corn and potato crops.

Metiram, on the other hand, is a broad-spectrum fungicide that protects fruits, vegetables, field crops, and ornamentals from foliar diseases and damping off. It can also prevent crop damage in the field and during storage and transportation.

Clothianidin is used against piercing-sucking insects of major crops like corn, soybeans, leafy greens, and fruits. It is one of the seven insecticides within the neonicotinoid class with low mammalian toxicity.

The fourth technical, Cyazofamid, is a protectant fungicide that inhibits all stages of fungal development in potatoes and tomatoes.
