Orchestra® (Benzpyrimoxan) is a novel Japanese technique for the effective management of Nilaparvata legen with different modes of action and safe toxicological properties that do not affect the life of beneficial insects or non-target organisms. Benzpyrimoxan(BPX) is a new active ingredient developed by Nichino India after 10 years of research. Through a novel and unique mode of action known as a ecdysone titer disruptor, BPX has a long residue of activity that extends crop protection after application.

Nilaparvata legen is one of the most destructive pests that can cause significant losses to farmers, and Orchestra® addresses this problem with a new generation of Nilaparvata legen control products for farmers. Users have given very positive feedback on Orchestra®, for example, Orchestra® is the safest solution for controlling Nilaparvata legen, protecting beneficial insects, featuring efficient and longer lasting control, strong plants, healthy tillers, even ear grains, and higher yield.

Orchestra® is part of the "Make in India" initiative launched by the Government of India to promote domestic manufacturing. Orchestra® is jointly developed and marketed by Japanese and Indian companies. Nichino India is excited about bringing the technology to India and seeing good market results.
