What is Bifenthrin?

Description

Bifenthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide/miticide/acaricide. Bifenthrin is off-white to pale tan waxy solid granules with a faint, musty odour and a slightly sweet smell. Bifenthrin is soluble in methylene chloride, acetone, chloroform, ether, and toluene and slightly soluble in heptane and methanol. It is slightly combustible and support combustion at elevated temperatures. Thermal decomposition and burning may form toxic byproducts such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen fluoride. Bifenthrin treatment affects the nervous system and causes paralysis in insects.

The Uses of Bifenthrin

Bifenthrin controls foliar insect pests and some mites on a range of crops including cereals, citrus, cotton, fruit and vegetables.
