Taffy (Bifenthrin 10% EC) – Product Overview
Taffy is a versatile, broad-spectrum insecticide and miticide containing Bifenthrin 10% EC. It belongs to the synthetic pyrethroid group and is highly effective against a wide range of both foliar pests and soil-borne insects. One of its standout features is its dual-action capability—it acts as a powerful insecticide and a reliable miticide, reducing the need for multiple products.
Key Features & Mode of Action
Contact and Stomach Action: Taffy works quickly upon contact with the pest and also acts as a stomach poison when insects ingest treated plant material.
Knockdown Effect: Known for its rapid "knockdown" capability, it stops pest activity almost immediately after application.
Miticidal Property: Unlike many other pyrethroids, Bifenthrin is highly effective against various mite species, making it a 2-in-1 solution.
Low Volatility: It stays on the plant surface longer, providing durable residual protection against re-infestation.
Recommended Uses on Various Crops
Taffy is widely used in commercial agriculture for its ability to tackle tough, chewing and sucking pests simultaneously.

Key Benefits
Broad Spectrum: Effectively controls a massive variety of pests including caterpillars, beetles, borers, and mites.
Soil & Foliar Versatility: Can be used as a foliar spray or for soil drenching to protect against termites and root-damaging insects.
Superior Mite Control: Provides a significant advantage in crops like Chilli and Tea where mites are a major concern.
Phytostimulatory Effect: Often results in a "greening effect" on crops, leading to better plant vigor and improved yields.
Application & Safety Guidelines
Application: Ensure uniform coverage of the entire plant canopy. For soil-borne pests like termites, application should be done near the root zone with sufficient moisture.
Intervention: For best results, apply at the early stages of pest infestation (ETL - Economic Threshold Level).
Bee Safety: Bifenthrin is toxic to bees; avoid spraying during the active flowering period when pollinators are most active.
Storage: Store in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children or pets.
Note: Always refer to the leaflet provided with the packaging for specific instructions regarding the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) and safety precautions.
