Insecticides (India) Limited (IIL), an agrochemical company has come up with a new insecticide ‘Mission’ that would attack different types of lepidopteran pests affecting sugarcane crops and other crops like paddy, soybean and vegetables, reports The Hindu Businessline.
The company has issued a statement sharing information that the insecticide Mission will be available in granules as well as liquid form.
The insecticide falls in the “Green” category and is being produced by IIL under the “Make in India ” initiative that would benefit marginal and small farmers in India. It was imported earlier. The mission is well designed to control the spread of stem borer and leaf folders in paddy and other crops.
Rajesh Aggarwal, Managing Director, IIL said, “This insecticide is manufactured using the latest technology and can be used on a variety of crops and helps farmers to fight against lepidopteran pests along with increasing crop health and high yield. The mission will help farmers to increase their income by protecting their crops from pests.”
