Introduction of Bayer Fame® Insecticide

In modern agriculture, high-yield crop production is only possible when crops are protected from damaging pests. Among these, caterpillars and other Lepidopteran pests cause massive economic losses by attacking vital plant parts. To control such harmful pests effectively, Bayer Fame® Insecticide has emerged as one of the most trusted solutions for Indian farmers. Fame® ensures long-lasting protection and superior crop health, making it a popular choice in crops like cotton, soybean, rice, cabbage, chilli, tomato, okra, and more.

This blog explains the Bayer Fame technical name, dose per litre, dose per acre, benefits, mode of action, and usage guidelines in detail.

What is Bayer Fame® Insecticide?

Bayer Fame® is a highly effective insecticide designed to control chewing and sucking pests. It belongs to the diamide class of insecticides, known for strong larvicidal activity and long residual control. Fame® protects crops by controlling caterpillars at both early and advanced stages, preventing leaf damage, fruit boring, and yield loss.

Bayer Fame Technical Name

The active ingredient in Fame® insecticide is:

Flubendiamide 480 SC (Suspension Concentrate)

This innovative molecule attacks the muscle function of caterpillars, causing feeding paralysis, rapid pest death, and long-lasting protection.

How Does Bayer Fame® Insecticide Work?

Bayer Fame® acts on the Ryanodine Receptor Modulator, which disrupts the calcium flow in pest muscle cells. This mechanism causes:

Immediate feeding stop
Paralysis of the insect
Death in 2–3 hours after ingestion

Since pests stop feeding immediately, crop damage is halted instantly, even before the pest dies.
