Axalion Active Insecticide: A New Mode of Action

Piercing and sucking insect pests are well-known threats to many farmers. That’s why BASF created Axalion® Active insecticide. Axalion targets many problematic piercing and sucking insect pests, including whiteflies and aphids. Axalion is the only representative of the new Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Group 36, targeting a new site in chordotonal organs. Axalion is the sole representative of a unique insecticidal class of chemistry, the Pyridazine pyrazolecarboxamides (or Pyridazine amides).
