Bifent 10 EC is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing Bifenthrin 10% EC, which is used to target a wide range of harmful insects. Once applied, it works through contact and stomach action — killing pests that touch the treated surface and those that feed on treated plant parts. It also has a strong phyto-tonic effect, improving crop vigor and health after application. With long residual activity, a single spray of Bifent 10 EC keeps crops protected for 10 to 15 days. It is suitable for Paddy, Cotton, and Sugarcane, and widely used across vegetables and fruit crops across India.
