Dhanuka Agritech strengthens its insecticide portfolio with the launch of DEFEND^®

Dhanuka Agritech Ltd., one of the leading agri-input companies in India, strengthened its crop care portfolio by introducing a powerful new insecticide — DEFEND^®.

DEFEND^® contains Triflumezopyrim 10% SC and gives complete protection from hoppers. Pyraxalt™ active, the active ingredient of DEFEND^® insecticide inhibits the neurotransmission in affected insects, thus controlling their spread and completely wiping them away. DEFEND^® gives immediate protection from first generation Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH) in just one application on paddy. It gives effective control on different life stages of the insect.

With this new introduction and a strong pipeline for this year, Dhanuka Agritech is optimistic to augment its position in the crop care product segment. Dhanuka Agritech launched two selective herbicides, Mesotrax and Implode in the Q1 FY2023-24. It also diversified its crop care range introducing BiologiQ, a unique range of sustainable solutions developed with the fusion of traditional science and new-age agriculture practices. Dhanuka Agritech has a positive outlook for the agricultural sector in India for FY 2023-24 with new growth plans and a robust product pipeline. Dhanuka’s growth story remains strong and consistent as we focus our efforts on serving the needs of Indian farmers.
