DESCRIPTION
Intrepid insecticide is a novel chemistry that saps energy out of insects, there by rendering weak. It belongs to Diacylhydrazine class of insecticide that has novel mode of action of the molting hormone. It has contact and stomach action and also has systemic properties. Intrepid works by disrupting the production of adenosine triphosphate in insect nervous system.
- Technical Content : Chlorfenapyr 10% SC
FEATURES
- Control Without affecting beneficial insects.
- With a favorable environmental profile, Intrepid 2F wont disrupt any beneficial insects including bees making it the ideal choice for IPM programs. It preserves the population of beneficial, mites and pollinators, and can be applied at bloom without affecting pollinators.
- Extended Residual Control
- Intrepid 2F provides extended residual control, saving growers time and money by spraying.
BENEFITS
- Broad spectrum control : DBM and Mites.
- Longer Duration of control: compared to other conventional miticides/insecticides, this reduces number of sprays on crop.
- Translaminar action: intrepid is able to control the pests under side of the leaf.
- Facilitates green and healthy canopy.

FAQs for BASF Intrepid insecticide:
1. What pests does Intrepid insecticide control?
- Intrepid insecticide is primarily used for controlling lepidopteran pests such as caterpillars, loopers, and leafminers in various crops including vegetables, fruits, and nuts.
2. Is Intrepid insecticide safe for beneficial insects?
- Yes, Intrepid is known for its selective action, meaning it targets specific pests while being safe for beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs when used according to the label instructions.
3. What is the mode of action of Intrepid insecticide?
- Intrepid contains the active ingredient methoxyfenozide, which disrupts the molting process in targeted pests, ultimately leading to their death.
4. How should Intrepid insecticide be applied?
- Intrepid is typically applied as a foliar spray using conventional spraying equipment. It's important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided on the product label.
5. What is the re-entry interval (REI) for Intrepid insecticide?
- The re-entry interval for Intrepid varies depending on the crop and application rate. Refer to the product label for specific information regarding re-entry intervals.
6. Does Intrepid insecticide have any pre-harvest interval (PHI)?
- Yes, Intrepid may have a pre-harvest interval (PHI) that specifies the number of days that must pass between the last application and the harvest of the crop. Refer to the product label for crop-specific PHI information.
7. Is Intrepid insecticide rainfast?
- Intrepid exhibits good rainfastness once it has dried on the plant surface. However, heavy rainfall shortly after application may reduce its effectiveness, so it's advisable to apply it when rain is not expected within a few hours.
8. Can Intrepid insecticide be tank-mixed with other products?
