Features of Bifenazate
1. Broad range of prevention and control. Bifenazate is primarily used to control harmful mites on crops such as citrus, strawberries, apples, peaches, grapes, vegetables, tea, and stone fruit trees. The target pests include two-spotted spider mites, soapberry red spider mites, apple red spider mites, bamboo red spider mites, citrus red spider mites, southern small claw mites, and spruce small claw mites, but it is basically ineffective against rust mites, flat mites, and broad mite.
2. Contact killing action, no systemic action. Bifenazate does not show cross-resistance with other current acaricides. It has ovicidal activity and knockdown action against adult mites, making it effective across all stages of harmful mites (eggs, nymphs, larvae, and adults). Mites can be observed to die 36-48 hours after application, and optimal control effects can be achieved in the field within 3 days. It has minimal impact on predatory mites and beneficial insects, ensuring safety for plant growth.
3. Temperature insensitive, long residual effect. Bifenazate is not affected by temperature; its efficacy remains stable under both low and high temperatures. Additionally, the residual effect of it is relatively long, lasting up to 20-25 days.
Application
1. To control red spiders on citrus trees, orange trees, grapefruit, and rust mites, spray a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 1800-2500 times. For controlling two-spotted spider mites and red spiders on apple and pear trees, use a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 2000-4000 times. To control papaya red spiders, spray a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 2000-3000 times.
2. To control two-spotted spider mites and red spiders on strawberries, spray a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 2500-4000 times. For controlling two-spotted spider mites and red spiders on watermelons and cantaloupes, use a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 1800-2500 times. To control tea yellow mites and red spiders on peppers, spray a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 2000-3000 times. For controlling two-spotted spider mites and red spider mites on eggplants, use a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 1800-2500 times. To control red spiders and yellow spiders on flowers, spray a 43% Bifenazate suspension at a dilution of 2000-3000 times.
3. In use, bifenthrin is often mixed with acaricides such as etoxazole, spiromesifen, tetradifon, abamectin, and fenpyroximate, or used in combination products. This approach aims to enhance efficacy, reduce resistance, and improve control effectiveness.
