Bayer Fame Insecticide
Bayer Fame Insecticide is a premium larvicidal insecticide developed for effective control of destructive chewing pests in field crops, pulses, and vegetables. Powered by Flubendiamide 480 SC (39.35% w/w), it belongs to the diamide group of insecticides and works through a unique mode of action that disrupts insect muscle function, leading to immediate feeding stoppage and eventual death of larvae.
Unlike conventional insecticides that attack the insect nervous system, Fame targets ryanodine receptors in insect muscles, disturbing calcium flow required for muscle movement. This causes rapid paralysis of the pest and prevents further crop damage almost immediately after ingestion.
Fame is particularly effective against Lepidopteran larvae such as bollworms, fruit borers, stem borers, pod borers, and leaf folders that cause severe yield losses in crops like cotton, rice, tomato, chilli, pigeon pea, and vegetables. It also exhibits translaminar movement, allowing the insecticide to penetrate leaf tissue and control pests feeding on the underside of leaves.
With its fast feeding cessation, long residual protection, and compatibility with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, Fame has become a trusted solution among progressive farmers looking for reliable crop protection and improved productivity.

Fame Insecticide Features and Benefits
Fast Feeding Stop
Fame quickly stops larval feeding within hours after ingestion, significantly reducing crop damage.
Unique Diamide Chemistry
Its novel mode of action targets insect muscle receptors instead of the nervous system, making it effective against pests resistant to older insecticides.
Translaminar Activity
The formulation penetrates leaf surfaces and spreads within leaf tissues, ensuring effective control of pests feeding on hidden plant parts.
Long Residual Protection
Provides extended control against larvae, reducing the number of spray applications required.
Excellent IPM Compatibility
Fame is considered relatively safe for beneficial insects such as parasitoids and predatory mites when used as recommended.
Rainfast Performance
The product becomes rainfast after spray deposition, maintaining effectiveness even after light rainfall.
Resistance Management Tool
Due to its unique chemistry, it is widely used in rotation programs to manage resistance in Lepidopteran pests.
