Agrochemical Company Nichino India Inaugurated New Manufacturing Plant in Karnataka

Nichino India, a prominent agrochemical firm, opened a new production unit in Humnabad on 12 April 2023. It is opened by its Global President, Hiroyuki Iwata San, and other key company leaders from Japan and India.

The plant has multipurpose production facilities for insecticides, fungicides, intermediates, and formulations. The business forecasts that this high-tech plant can produce roughly $250 million in patented technical grade material per year. The facility is built to be exceptionally environmentally friendly, with features such as specific acid recovery systems, dust-free blocks, dedicated Nauta dryers, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems, and so on.

Nichino India's parent firm, Nihon Nohyaku Corporation (NNC), was founded in 1928. NNC is Japan's first R&D-based agrochemical company, and it has been servicing farmers in over 100 countries for many years. Flubendiamide, Buprofezin, isoprothiolane, Fenpyroximate, Tolfenpyrad, and Benzpyrimoxan are only a few of the successful AIs and breakthroughs developed by the business. Nichino India's purpose is to contribute to the long-term development of agriculture, food, and health industries while protecting the environment and the health and safety of consumers and staff.

One of the recent innovations by Nichino India is the development of a new active ingredient Benzpyrimoxan (BPX) after 10 years of research. Orchestra® is a brand-new Japanese technology for effective BPH management that has a different mode of action and a safe toxicology profile, meaning it does not impact the lives of beneficial insects or non-target organisms. BPX works through a novel and unique mode of action called Ecdysone Titer Disruptor, and it has a long residual activity, i.e., it protects crops for an extended period after application.

Orchestra® is part of the “Make in India” initiative launched by the Government of India to promote domestic manufacturing. Developed through joint research between the company in Japan and India, it is the culmination of Japanese technology and Indian intelligence and will be available on the Japanese and Indian markets. Nichino India is excited to bring this new age of technological development to India, which has already shown impressive results with around 2 lakh satisfied farmers, and counting.

Rice BPH is one of the most devastating pests that can cause significant losses to farmers, and Orchestra® is a new generation product for BPH control that has solved this problem for farmers. The user farmers have given very positive feedback about Orchestra®, such as it is the safest solution for BPH control, retains beneficial insects, gives highly effective & longer duration of control, phytotonic effect, healthy tillers, uniformly filled panicles & better yields.

The inauguration of the new manufacturing plant is a significant milestone for Nichino India as the company continues to grow and expand in India.
