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.
Key Features
Targets both nymph and adult stages of whiteflies and jassids
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
Long-lasting protection up to 2 weeks with a single spray
