Tebufenpyrad (Nihon Nohyku Insecticide Acaricide) – Got approval to PI Industries Limited (PI) for 9(3) Technical Import (TI) and 9(3) Formulation Indigenous Manufacture (FIM)

• Tebufenpyrad is an insecticide and acaricide widely used in greenhouses. It is a white solid chemical with a slight aromatic smell. It is soluble in water and also in organic solvents.
• Tebufenpyrad is a strong mitochondrial complex I inhibitor. Like Rotenone, it inhibits electron transport chain by inhibiting the complex I enzymes of mitochondria which ultimately leads to lack of ATP production and finally cell death.
• Tebufenpyrad is used mainly in greenhouses around the world. It has been registered under various trade names (i.e.Masai, Pyranica) in countries like Australia, China and certain South American countries.
• It is registered in USA for use on ornamental plants in commercial green houses.  The data available presented enough evidence to support unconditional registration of tebufenpyrad for use on ornamental plants in greenhouses.
