08 September 2023, New Delhi: Best Agrolife Ltd has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Seedlings India Pvt. Ltd. has been granted a 20-year patent for the invention of a Synergistic Pesticidal Composition that includes two insecticides and a fungicide (Pymetrozine, Dinotefuran and Strobilurin) to address some of the most pressing challenges in rice cultivation.

The patented invention is a powerful and effective solution for tackling the Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Green Leaf Hopper, White Backed Plant, and a variety of fungal diseases that have long plagued rice crops in India and around the world.

This fungicide has a proven track record in combatting a range of fungal diseases, including white mold, rot, early and late leaf spot, rusts, and rice blast. Its inclusion in this innovative formula further enhances its utility and versatility in rice cultivation.

Mr. Vimal Kumar, Managing Director of Best Agrolife Ltd., expressed his enthusiasm about this groundbreaking invention, stating, “At Best Agrolife Ltd., we are committed to advancing agricultural practices and providing farmers with sustainable and effective solutions.
