Bayer Introduces Camalus Insecticide: A New Solution for Sucking Pests in Horticulture.

Bayer Launches Camalus Insecticide: A Game-Changer for Pest Control in Indian Horticulture
Bayer has officially launched Camalus Insecticide, a next-generation insecticide designed to meet the evolving needs of Indian horticulture farmers. With its innovative dual-action formula, Camalus offers powerful protection against both chewing and sucking pests—especially during the early stages of crop growth.
Why Camalus Insecticide Matters
Indian vegetable farmers, particularly smallholders, are increasingly challenged by pest infestations that demand frequent spraying. Existing solutions are losing their effectiveness, creating a critical gap in pest management. Camalus steps in to fill this gap with:
- Dual Mode of Action: Stops pests from feeding quickly and protects plants internally—through both roots and leaves.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Reduces the need for repeated sprays, saving time, labour, and input costs.
- Target Crops: Especially effective for tomato, brinjal (eggplant), chilli, cabbage, and okra.
Available Across Key States
Starting August 2025, Camalus will be available in major vegetable-growing regions, including:
Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka.
Designed Camalus Insecticide for Indian Agriculture
Camalus is available in 150 ml and 300 ml pack sizes, making it accessible and practical for farmers. It’s compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, helping preserve beneficial insects. When used with Bayer’s high-quality Camalus surfactant, it enhances leaf penetration and maintains consistent performance—even under tough weather conditions.
Bayer’s Commitment to Farmers
Mohan Babu, Cluster Commercial Lead for Bayer’s Crop Science Division in India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, shared:
“Vegetable crops are vital for India’s nutritional security and global export potential. As consumption rises, ensuring productivity and quality is more important than ever. Camalus reflects Bayer’s commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that empower Indian farmers and strengthen vegetable value chains.”
