Sefina Insecticide from BASF is a next-generation broad-spectrum insecticide formulated with Afidopyropen 5% DC. Known for its unique mode of action and rapid knockdown, Sefina is the go-to solution for controlling piercing and sucking pests like whiteflies, jassids, and hoppers in crops such as cotton, brinjal, cucumber, and more.

Powered by BASF's patented molecule Inscalis, it operates through a novel biological pathway affecting the insect’s chordotonal organs, which stops pest feeding and movement rapidly—reducing damage and virus transmission.

• Novel IRAC subgroup 9D action – minimal resistance risk
• Quick feeding cessation leads to reduced virus transmission
• Eco-friendly profile – safe for pollinators and beneficial insects
