The company will soon start manufacturing Tombo at its state-of-the-art manufacturing site Best Crop Science Pvt. Ltd. Gajraula.
Best Agrolife Limited, one of the leading player in the Indian agrochemical industry, has been granted the registration for the indigenous manufacturing of Tembotrione technical 94 per cent u/s 9(4) by the Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee in the 439th meeting. The company has a pivotal positioning in Rice and Soybean crops and this registration will help it in consolidating its portfolio in the herbicides segment further. The company has decided to launch its commercial formulation under the brand name ‘Tombo’ in early June, 22.
A new generation corn herbicide Tembotrione shows a fast efficacy in the control of weeds. It is a post-emergence herbicide that dissipates rapidly in the environment without causing any crop phytotoxicity. Tembotrione has a low rate of application per hectare and hence poses almost nil environmental risks. A product with a high level of crop tolerance Tembotrione assures higher grain yield and profitability.
Commenting on this new development Vimal Alawadhi, MD, Best Agrolife Ltd. said, “Corn demand in the domestic and global market is fast increasing as this cereal crop is highly sought as a staple food, animal, poultry feed, and for industrial uses. In the future corn will also contribute substantially to Methanol production. Till now, a Germany-based MNC is importing and distributing Tembotrione 34.45 per cent SC formulation in India. But this registration will help us to make it immediately available to the Indian farmers at a more competitive rate”
Best Agrolife Ltd. will soon start manufacturing Tombo at its state-of-the-art manufacturing site Best Crop Science Pvt. Ltd. Gajraula. Tombo has already aroused interest amongst leading peer companies including MNCs to market this product under licensing agreement. It will improve the company’s market share in corn cultivating states esp. Bihar, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
