InscalisTM - Insecticide with unique mode of action

Uniting science and nature, InscalisTM insecticide sets a new standard in the piercing and sucking insect pest market, delivering exceptional control of aphids, whiteflies, jassids and psyllids.


Inscalis insecticide’s unique mode of action is a result of collaborative and innovative scientific methods, like white biotechnology, leveraged to create a precise solution for controlling piercing-sucking pests, including hemiptera, such as aphids, whiteflies, psyllids, scales, and leafhoppers.
Derived from a natural fermentation process, Inscalis has a favorable environmental profile exhibiting minimal impact to important beneficial arthropods and pollinators. With a quick onset of action, Inscalis insecticide quickly stops insect pests’ feeding, reducing nutrient loss and vectoring of harmful viral/bacterial pathogens. The results are healthier plants and optimal yields with higher quality.

Fungal meshwork (mycelium) of the pyripyropene A (PPA) production strain Penicillium coprobium

PPA is the key component of Inscalis insecticide. The fungus Penicillium coprobium produces the substance naturally. By optimizing the growth conditions and the chemical synthesis, scientists from BASF were able to significantly increase the yield.
