Bifentra — Bifenthrin 10% EC

Description

BIFENTRA is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide containing Bifenthrin 10% EC, belonging to the synthetic pyrethroid group of insecticides and widely trusted by farmers across India for reliable control of a wide range of foliar insects, soil pests and mites in cotton, rice, vegetables and fruit crops. Bifenthrin works by disrupting voltage-gated sodium ion channels in insect and mite nerve cell membranes, causing repetitive nerve firing, rapid paralysis and death of the target pest — delivering fast and visible knockdown results within hours of application. Its additional strong repellent effect on insects further reduces pest pressure by deterring new pest immigration into treated crops even before direct contact occurs.

BIFENTRA stands out from other pyrethroid insecticides through its exceptional residual activity — one of the longest among all synthetic pyrethroids — providing reliable crop protection for significantly longer periods between spray applications compared to other contact insecticides. This extended residual performance is particularly valuable during periods of high pest pressure when rapid re-infestation from surrounding areas is common. Its additional acaricidal activity against red spider mites makes BIFENTRA a particularly versatile and cost effective crop protection tool in cotton and fruit orchards where both insect pests and mite infestations frequently occur simultaneously — eliminating the need for separate miticide and insecticide applications.

BIFENTRA is also highly effective as a soil treatment for control of termites, soil insects and root pests — applied as a soil drench at sowing or transplanting time it creates a long lasting protective zone around the root system that prevents soil pest damage during the critical early crop establishment phase. Its emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures excellent mixing in water, superior spray coverage and strong adhesion to leaf and soil surfaces with rainfast activity within just 1 hour of application — ensuring reliable performance even during unpredictable monsoon weather conditions. For best results rotate with insecticides of different mode of action to prevent resistance development in target pest and mite populations.
