Sefina® Inscalis® Brand Insecticide
Strong on targeted insect pests, gentle on pollinators and beneficial insects
Sefina insecticide is a powerful tool designed to control key piercing and sucking insects in specific specialty and row crops, including citrus, fruiting vegetables, cucurbits, cotton and soybeans. With a unique mode of action classification, it provides targeted knockdown and residual control of aphids, whiteflies and certain psyllids, including the Asian citrus psyllid, to stop feeding damage and limit pathogen transmission. Sefina insecticide is strong on pests and gentle on pollinators, with a favorable environmental profile.

How Sefina Insecticide Works
Sefina insecticide is powered by Inscalis insecticide, an active ingredient with a novel mode of action classification (IRAC 9D). The chemistry disrupts the sensory responses of target insects, quickly stopping feeding and slowing the spread of vectored diseases. Sefina insecticide’s unique formulation exhibits translaminar and acropetal movement within the treated leaf and out toward the growing tip. This allows for more complete control of targeted pests on both the top and bottom of leaf surfaces. This results in healthier, more vigorous plants, and can improve yield and lengthen the harvest window.
Sefina insecticide is compatible with beneficials for true integrated pest management and compatible with pollinators following bee safe protocols
Sefina insecticide is designed to control pests in:
Alfalfa
Stop aphid damage to alfalfa.
Every production and protection decision can affect the optimal balance of alfalfa yield and quality. Aphid damage can negatively impact growth, yield and, ultimately, the crop’s value.
- A powerful insecticide for alfalfa, Sefina insecticide quickly stops plant damage with long-lasting control of aphids, including blue alfalfa aphids, pea aphids and spotted alfalfa aphids. Sefina insecticide’s unique chemistry is strong on targeted insects, yet gentle on beneficials, so natural predators can keep working to help manage pests.
- The unique mode of action of Sefina insecticide offers alfalfa growers an excellent resistance management tool, controlling labeled pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides.
Cotton
Aphid, white fly and lygus control in cotton
Aphids and whiteflies can cause quality issues in cotton by producing honeydew that leads to “sticky cotton” and western lygus impacts yield by feeding on the early buds, or squares. Protect the quality of your cotton, and your yield with the rapid feeding cessation delivered by Sefina insecticide.
- Sefina insecticide’s unique chemistry is strong on targeted insects, without adverse effects on beneficials or pollinators.
Sorghum
Control sugarcane aphids in grain sorghum.
Protecting sorghum crops from yield loss potential caused by aphid damage is a season-long concern.
- Sefina insecticide works fast and provides the ability to prevent aphid resurgence. Its rapid onset of action quickly stops adult and immature sugarcane aphids from buildup and damage, and delivers long-lasting residual control. And, natural predators can keep working to help manage pests because its unique chemistry is strong on targeted insects, yet gentle on beneficials.
- With a unique mode of action (Inscalis, IRAC 9D), Sefina insecticide offers sorghum growers an excellent resistance management tool, controlling aphids that have developed resistance to other insecticides.
Cucurbits and fruiting vegetables
Stop pest damage with whitefly control.
Sefina insecticide helps manage key pests by immediately causing feeding cessation, while being gentle on pollinators and beneficials.
- Unique chemistry as the only IRAC 9D insecticide that effectively controls important pests in citrus crops
- No pollinator restrictions allow unrestricted bloom-time applications
- Fast onset of action that quickly stops insect feeding to limit damage and pathogen transmission
- Compatibility with beneficial insects such as Tamarixia and ladybugs for Integrated Pest Management
- With a novel and unique mode of action, Sefina provides a great tool for resistance management
Citrus
Effective and fast-acting protection, gentle on pollinators and beneficials
Sefina insecticide helps manage key pests by immediately causing feeding cessation, while being gentle on pollinators and beneficials.
- Unique chemistry as the only IRAC 9D insecticide that effectively controls important pests in citrus crops
- No pollinator restrictions allow unrestricted bloom-time applications
- Fast onset of action that quickly stops insect feeding to limit damage and pathogen transmission
- Compatibility with beneficial insects such as Tamarixia and ladybugs for Integrated Pest Management
- With a novel and unique mode of action, Sefina provides a great tool for resistance management
Soybeans
Increase yield potential in soybeans.
As soybean aphids feed on plant sap, they produce honeydew that causes sooty mold to grow, which limits photosynthesis. This represents significant yield loss potential and economic concern for soybean growers.
- As a soybean insecticide, Sefina insecticide delivers knockdown and residual control to stop soybean aphid feeding and protect yield and profitability. It is strong on targeted insects, without adverse effects on beneficials or pollinators.
- The unique mode of action of Sefina insecticide (Inscalis, IRAC 9D) offers soybean growers an excellent resistance management tool, controlling labeled pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides.
