Bifenazate 480g/L SC

Active Ingredient: Bifenazate

CAS Number: 149877-41-8

Molecular Formula: C₁₇H₂₀N₂O₃

Classification: Non-systemic contact miticide (selective for mites).

Primary Use: Controls spider mites in fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and turfgrass.

Bifenazate is formulated for easy application, typically as a spray. Below are the recommended dosages for different crops:

Formulation	Plants	Pest	Dosage	Application Method
48% SC	Tomatoes	Red spider mites	40 ml/100 liters water	Spray
48% SC	Apples	Red spider & two-spotted spider	35 ml/100 liters water	Spray
48% SC	Cucurbits	Red spider & two-spotted spider	40 ml/100 liters water	Spray
48% SC	Citrus fruits	Red spider & two-spotted spider	35 ml/100 liters water	Spray

Mode of Action

Mechanism: Disrupts mitochondrial electron transport chain (Complex III) in mites → inhibits energy production → paralysis and death
Contact Activity: Requires direct contact with mites; effective against all life stages (eggs, larvae, nymphs, adults)
Speed of Action:
- Adult mites: Rapid knockdown within 48–72 hours
- Eggs: Mortality within 1–2 weeks of application

Target Pests & Crops

Crops	Target Pests	Application Method	Key Notes
Citrus	Red spider mites, two-spotted mites	Foliar spray	Ensure coverage of leaf undersides
Apples	European red mites, two-spotted mites	Foliar spray	Apply at early infestation stages
Tomatoes	Red spider mites	Foliar spray	Reapply every 14 days if needed
Cucurbits	Two-spotted mites	Foliar spray	Avoid spraying during flowering
Ornamentals	Broad mites, rust mites	Foliar spray	Safe for most ornamental species
Turfgrass	Spider mites, red mites	Spray or granular application	Target early morning/late evening for best absorption

Formulations & Dosage

Key Features & Benefits

Selective Action:
- Low toxicity to beneficial insects (e.g., ladybugs, predatory mites, bees)
- Ideal for integrated pest management (IPM) programs
Broad-Spectrum Efficacy:
- Controls resistant mite strains (e.g., two-spotted mites resistant to organophosphates)
- Effective against Tetranychus, Panonychus, and Eutetranychus species
Long Residual Activity:
- Up to 14 days of protection reduces application frequency
Crop Safety:
- No reported phytotoxicity when used at recommended rates
- Safe for use in organic systems (check local regulations)

Application Guidelines

Timing:
- Early infestation (when mite populations are low to moderate)
- Avoid applying during flowering to protect pollinators
Method:
- Use high-pressure sprayers to ensure coverage of leaf undersides
- Mix thoroughly with water (100–200 L/ha) for uniform distribution
Environmental Considerations:
- Avoid spraying in windy conditions to prevent drift
- Do not apply near water bodies (toxic to fish and algae)

Safety & Storage

Personal Protection:
- Wear gloves, goggles, and long-sleeved clothing
- Avoid inhalation or skin contact; wash hands after application
Storage:
- Cool (2–8°C), dry, and dark environment
- Store in original sealed containers; keep away from food/feed
- Shelf life: 2–3 years when properly stored

Packaging Options

Small Scale: 500 ml, 1L, 5L SC bottles (for farmers and gardeners)
Bulk: 25kg WP/WDG bags, 200L drums, 1000L IBCs (for commercial agriculture)
