Highlights :
- IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation formed a joint venture to produce Tabiki (Flubendiamide 20% WG).
- The major causes of biotic stress on crops are insects or pests. Hence, to control this a farmer needs good insecticide.
- Takibi is a new generation Di-amide compound that is safe for humans and the environment.
- Takibi Flubendiamide 20% is a water-soluble granular insecticide.
- Takibi is used to control stemborer and leaf roller in paddy crops, American Bollworm in cotton, Pod borer in Pulses, Diamondback moth in cabbage and Fruit borer in Tomato.
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited and Mitsubishi Corporation Launches Takibi (Flubendiamide 20% WG) Insecticide
Pesticides designed to kill, hurt, repel, or mitigate one or more insect species are known as insecticides. Some insecticides cause nervous system disruption, while others can harm their exoskeletons, repel them, or exert other forms of control. Additionally, they can be packed in various ways, such as sprays, dust, gels, and baits.
Insects killed by broad-spectrum insecticides will be killed regardless of species. These pesticide classes, which are listed on the labels of every commercial pesticide, include the majority of neonicotinoids, organophosphate, pyrethroid, and carbamate insecticides.
About Takibi (Flubendiamide 20% WG)
Flubendiamide structure
AI-Flubendiamide 20% WG
Description: Flubendiamide is a synthetic petrochemical pesticide in of the ryanoid class which acts at receptors in insect muscles. The chemical contains a perfluorinated functional group. Flubendiamide acts against various lepidopterous insect pests such as armyworms, bollworms, corn borers, cutworms, diamondback moths, fruitworms and loopers.
Country of Origin: India
IUPAC: 1-N-[4-(1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropan-2-yl)-2-methylphenyl]-3-iodo-2-N-(2-methyl1-methylsulfonylpropan-2 yl)benzene1,2-dicarboxamide
Indication: INSECTICIDE
Effective Against- Takibi is used to control stemborer and leaf roller in paddy crop, American Bollworm in cotton, Podborer in Pulses, Diamondback moth in cabbage, Fruit borer in Tomato.
CAS RN: 272451-65-7
Mechanism of Action :Flubendiamide activates ryanodine sensitive intracellular calcium release channels (ryanodine receptors, RyR) in insects. It has a novel biochemical action as it affects calcium ion balance irrespective of sodium or potassium ion balance, which causes contraction of insect skeletal muscle.
Features:-
- Broad Spectrum insecticide – Controls different types of caterpillars
- Fast and effective control of loss inflicting stages of larvae and caterpillars
- The insect stops damaging the crop just after the product application
- Provides prolonged control of target pest hence it is cost-effective
- Safe for plants, humans, and the environment
- Effective in IPM and IRM programs
When applied carefully, some broad-spectrum insecticides, such as chlorpyrifos can be useful for targeting specific pests. It’s crucial to take into account how using a broad-spectrum pesticide would affect the helpful insect’s natural enemies. More resilient natural enemies will aid in controlling invasive species later in the season and reduce the frequency of chemical reapplications.
As a result, farmers must prioritize insect pest management. Scientists and experts propose using insecticides at the early stages of the afflicted crop to reduce production loss.
Joint Venture of IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corp
Fertiliser cooperative IFFCO today formally launched a joint venture with Japanese firm Mitsubishi Corp for manufacturing agrochemicals in India that will start operation in this rabi season starting October.
IFFCO holds 51 per cent stake and the rest is held by Mitsubishi in the joint venture IFFCO-MC Crop Science Private Ltd. The shareholding pact was signed last month.
