Best Agrolife Limited, a leading player in the Indian agrochemical industry, has been granted registration for the indigenous manufacturing of Pyroxasulfone technical u/s 9(3) by Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee in the 440th meeting. With this Best Agrolife Limited (BAL) will become the first Indian agrochemical company to manufacture Pyroxasulfone Technical in India. BAL also received the registration for indigenous manufacturing of another crucial pesticide Kresoxim Methyl Technical u/s 9 (4) in the same RC meeting.
 
Pyroxasulfone is a novel pre-emergence herbicide for wheat, corn, and soybean. Wheat is the primary cereal crop in India. The total area under the yield is about 29.8 million hectares in the country. While the area harvested for corn across India In 2021/2022 was 9.7 million hectares the Kharif acreage under soybean in the 2021 Kharif season was 120 lakh hectares. Pyroxasulfone controls the problematic weeds in these crops and ensures their better quality and higher yields. It acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of very long-chain fatty acids in plants. As compared with other commercial herbicides it has lower application rates and higher efficacy against broadleaf weeds.
 
The market size of Pyroxasulfone is approximately Rs. 450 Crore at present and its demand will increase further in the coming years. Until now India was dependent on other countries for Pyroxasulfone. However, now under the Government Of India’s ‘Make In India’ initiative, it will be manufactured indigenously and will be easily available to the farmers. This will prove to be highly beneficial for them as they will get a high-quality product at a better price.
 
Kresoxim-methyl technical is an allrounder fungicide with a protective, curative, and eradicative mode of action. A broad spectrum strobilurin Kresoxim-Methyl gives good residual activity and prolonged protection from various crop diseases. Kresoxim Methyl is very effective against powdery mildew for most crops and has a good greening effect. It also controls blast, blight, downy mildew, rust, rot & die back in grapes, chillies, soybean, tomato, potato, cotton, and cereals like wheat and maize.
