Acelan is a neonicotinoid insecticide which controls sucking pests especially Aphids and White Fly by interrupting the brain signals, causing paralysis and then extermination. Acelan is one of FMC premier cotton specific brand while it shows high effectiveness in orchards as well. The organic composition of Acelan makes it an ideal choice for farmers to combat complex pest attack.
Admiral is an easy to use, selective insect growth regulator with attributes well-suited to managing whitefly populations. Admiral contains pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone mimic that interferes with whitefly reproduction and development. Juvenile hormone is secreted naturally in the early larval stages of insects and is responsible for maintaining larval characteristics. As juvenile hormone levels in the insects decrease and disappear over time, they progress on to later instars and ultimately pupate and emerge as adults. Juvenile hormone also controls insect ovary development. It is a pyridine-based pesticide which is found to be effective against a variety of arthropoda.

The protection provided by Advantage helps the farmer to fight off most of the sucking and lepidopterous insect pests like aphids, thrips, hoppers, borers etc.
Arrivo is a synthetic pyrethroid used as an insecticide in large-scale commercial agricultural applications as well as in consumer products for domestic purposes. It behaves as a fast-acting neurotoxin in insects. It is easily degraded on soil and plants but can be effective for weeks when applied to indoor inert surfaces. It is a Commodity broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide manufactured by many companies and used in a wide range of applications. The product offers low-cost pest control and maintains a strong position in the pyrethroids market. However, the use of this chemical is down from peak levels due to several factors: loss of market share to resolved pyrethroids; increase in B.t. crops; and recent insecticide introductions offering novel modes of action.
Bestox is a widely used pyrethroid insecticide that is a partially resolved pyrethroid with several crop, animal, and public health applications. Originally introduced by Shell before being acquired by Cyanamid as part of that business in 1994, and subsequently by BASF in 2000. Now a commodity product but still one of the leaders in the pyrethroid sector. Gained EU approval in 2015 for non-crop uses.

Ferterra® insecticide is a revolutionary granular formulation for rice pest management. Ferterra® provides effective and long duration control of yellow stem borer in rice and stem borer in sugarcane with its unique mode of action. FMC Ferterra® insecticide is a revolutionary granular formulation for rice pest management in India. Ferterra® provides effective and long duration control of yellow stem borer in rice and stem borer in sugarcane with its unique mode of action. FMC Ferterra® (chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR) , is an insect control compound from a new class of chemistry, the Anthralinic Diamides for rice pest management. When used early in the pest life cycle, Ferterra® prevents the buildup of pest population and maximizes the crop yield potential. Ferterra® insecticide is powered by active ingredient Rynaxypyr®, which has a unique mode of action; controlling pests resistant to other insecticides while its selectivity to non-target arthropods. When applied at the right stage of rice crop, Ferterra® provides complete control of borere which enables the plant to express its true genetic potential. As a result, farmers experience good crop establishment, more number of productive tillers, superior grain quality and better yield. Ferterra® insecticide is recommended in rice and sugarcane crops. Ferterra® offers remarkably low toxicity to mammals and raises the benchmark for insect control solutions due to its toxicological profile and low use rates.
Hoopoe is a revolutionary chemistry for control of chewing and sucking insects (particularly Lepidoptera and Coleoptera) in Rice crop, at almost all stages of development. It has a quite different mode of action from that of other insecticides. It is effective against insects mining in plants by its systemic action. It can control insects resistant to other insecticides. It has almost no effect on natural enemies of insect pests. It is practically nontoxic to mammals. It has a long persistent efficacy. It can control almost all stage of insects.
Major is a premix of 2 effective insecticides with broad spectrum mode of action. Neonicotinoid insecticides for the control of sucking insects in rice, vine, vegetables, tea and fruit. Nitenpyram blocks the neurotoxin /neural messages and binds particularly tightly in the central nervous system of insects, causing rapid death. After ingestion, it begins killing adult fleas within 30 minutes, 45and effects continue for up to 48 hours.
Novastar is another star brand of FMC Pakistan which is a bi-product of two highly effective chemicals, Bifenthrin & Abamectin.

Telsta is an insecticide developed by Takeda Chemical Industries and Bayer AG. Similar to thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, it is a neonicotinoid. Clothianidin and other neonicotinoids act on the central nervous system of insects as an agonist of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates nAChR, targeting the same receptor site (AChR) and activating post-synaptic acetylcholine receptors but not inhibiting AChE. Clothianidin is an alternative to organophosphate, carbamate, and pyrethroid pesticides. It poses lower risks to mammals, including humans, when compared to organophosphates and carbamates. It has helped prevent insect pests build up resistance to organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides.
