Godrej Agrovet launches new insecticide TAKAI for rice crops

Godrej Agrovet Limited on Monday announced the launch of new insecticide TAKAI developed specifically for rice crops. 

Commenting on the launch of TAKAI, Godrej Agrovet (Crop Protection Business) CEO N.K. Rajavelu said, “Our pre-launch rice farmer survey revealed that 77  per cent of farmers value quick pest control, long-lasting effects, and improved crop health. Hence, through our partnership with ISK Japan, we are launching TAKAI for our Indian farmers. Rice, being a multi-season crop, is grown in warm, humid and water-logged conditions making it ideal for pest attacks throughout the year.” 

“Powered by CyclaprynTM technology, it delivers rapid feeding cessation and sustained pest control over a longer duration,” he said, adding that this approach strengthens pests, helps farmers optimise input costs, secure more stable and higher-quality yields. 

With an upcoming label approval in maize, chilli, cabbage, soyabean, chickpea and sugarcane crops too, we are confident that amid ever evolving farming conditions, TAKAI will play a meaningful role in strengthening productivity and supporting farming families, he added.

Godrej Agrovet MD and CEO Sunil Kataria and others were present.
