BASF Products Save Lives

BASF Agricultural Products Division provides a comprehensive solution to control and potentially eradicate infectious diseases spread by insects. In addition, BASF provides innovative solutions to address the issue of food security in Africa.

Disease Prevention Solutions: The combination of BASF FENDONA® insecticide and ABATE® larvicide are used to fight disease at its source by killing pathogen-bearing insects long before they interact with humans. And new BASF INTERCEPTOR™ with FENDOZIN® long-lasting insecticide nets and the FENDONA® Dip It Yourself ™ kits protect people directly while killing the insect vectors.

Learn more about the quality of BASF’s Agricultural Products Division and why they lead the way in worldwide vector control:

ABATE®. ABATE is the first and most-trusted brand of larvicide that reliably eliminates insects from standing water before they mature and spread disease.

FENDONA®. FENDONA is the original brand of insecticide containing alphacypermethrin, the active ingredient internationally recognized and recommended for indoor residual wall spraying for the control of malaria.

INTERCEPTOR NETS. Treated with new FENDOZIN® textile finish, INTERCEPTOR long-lasting insecticide nets protect users with exceptional insect knockdown, and provide continued protection even after multiple washes.

Three Steps to Effective Vector Control. Only BASF offers this effective, sustainable three-way approach toward the prevention and control of insect-transmitted disease.

Food Security Solutions: BASF has developed a novel technology, the StrigAway Production System, that combines specially bred maize seed and an innovative herbicide seed treatment to improve the crop quality and yield potential for maize farmers.
