With an estimated annual business potential of approximately Rs 2000 crores in the rice herbicide segment, BAL anticipates ″Orisulam″ to be an important growth driver.
Best Agrolife Ltd (BAL), a leading manufacturer of speciality and patented agrochemicals in India, has announced registration of two innovative formulations.

Its patented triple combination of three molecules ensures weed control of grasses, broad leaves, sedges. It offers a comprehensive strategy with a flexible window of application and the granular formulation has been specially designed for ease of application.
The Best Agrolife group also received 9(3) FIM vs FIT registration for Boscalid 25.2% + Pyraclostrobin 12.8% WG. This fungicidal combination is effective in specialty crops such as grapes for the control of downy mildew and powdery mildew diseases.
