Bicyclic cyclopentene pesticidal formulations: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Invertebrate resistance to legacy neurotoxins increases crop loss risks, which these specific chemical motifs mitigate through novel binding site affinity. Engineering these bicyclic and triazole structures allows for precise modulation of pest metabolic pathways while maintaining environmental stability.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Bicyclic cyclopentene pesticidal formulations?

Invertebrate pest infestation persistence

(26)evidences

Existing chemical treatments fail to achieve complete mortality or overcome resistance in specific insect populations like bed bugs. Improving lethal potency across diverse species ensures reliable crop and property protection.

Agricultural pest infestation damage

(11)evidences

Agricultural yields and animal health are compromised by the destructive feeding and parasitic behaviors of invertebrate pests. Preventing this degradation ensures the survival of growing plants and the integrity of stored seeds.

Invertebrate pest crop damage

(10)evidences

Existing chemical controls suffer from declining efficacy due to evolving biological resistance. Developing novel molecular scaffolds overcomes cross-resistance and prevents crop yield loss.

Crop damage by agricultural pests

(7)evidences

Targeted pests develop physiological resistance to traditional chemical agents or behavioral avoidance of bait delivery systems. Overcoming these limitations ensures lethal efficacy in resistant populations and improves consumption rates in competitive environments.

Invertebrate pest resistance and damage

(7)evidences

Agricultural and veterinary assets are susceptible to destruction and yield loss from uncontrolled invertebrate infestations. Mitigating this biological degradation prevents the loss of plant propagation material and protects food security.
