1. Active Ingredient: Bifenthrin
Bifenthrin is the active ingredient in this powerful insecticide. It belongs to the pyrethroid chemical group, which is renowned for its insecticidal properties. The unique molecular structure of Bifenthrin allows it to interact effectively with the nervous systems of insects, leading to rapid control.
2. Chemical Group: Pyrethroid
As a synthetic pyrethroid, Bifenthrin mimics the natural insecticidal properties found in chrysanthemum flowers. This chemical group is widely used in agriculture due to its effectiveness and low toxicity to mammals when used as directed.
3. Formulation: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)
Bifenthrin 10EC is an emulsifiable concentrate, meaning it can be mixed with water to create a stable solution. This formulation allows for easy application and uniform coverage, ensuring that the insecticide reaches all parts of the plant.
4. Mode of Action
The insecticide operates through both contact and stomach action. Once pests come into contact with Bifenthrin, it disrupts their nervous system by interacting with sodium channels. This impairment leads to paralysis and eventually death, effectively controlling pest populations.
5. Broad Spectrum
Bifenthrin 10EC is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including aphids, caterpillars, beetles, and more. This broad-spectrum activity makes it a versatile choice for farmers facing various pest challenges.
6. Crop Compatibility
One of the standout features of Bifenthrin 10EC is its compatibility with various crops. Whether you’re cultivating fruits, vegetables, or grains, this insecticide can be safely and effectively applied without harming the plants.
