Bayer BICOTA Tetraniliprole 0.4% + Fipronil 0.6% GR Insecticide, Long Lasting Control Of Stem Borers In Paddy Crop

Bayer Bicota is an advanced granular insecticide designed to protect rice crops from stem borer infestations. It combines the powerful dual action of Tetraniliprole (0.4%) and Fipronil (0.6%) to provide quick knockdown and extended residual control. Stem borers damage rice by boring into the stem, disrupting nutrient flow, and causing whitehead symptoms and plant death. Bicota acts as a pre-emptive shield, offering early and long-lasting protection for healthier crops and increased yields.
