Biofos Super is a broad-spectrum insecticide combination used to control soil and foliar pests, especially chewing insects, termites, and some sucking pests. It combines a fast-acting organophosphate with a long-lasting phenylpyrazole insecticide, providing both immediate and residual control.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual Mode of Action:
Combines Chlorpyrifos (organophosphate) and Fipronil (phenylpyrazole). Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, causing continuous nerve impulses and rapid paralysis, while Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels, leading to hyperexcitation and death of insects.
Strong Soil and Contact Activity:
Highly effective against soil-dwelling pests and insects hiding in plant bases. Works through contact, ingestion, and vapor action (in the case of Chlorpyrifos).
Effective Control of Tough Pests:
Controls a wide range of pests including termites, stem borers, root grubs, cutworms, leaf folders, and some sucking pests
Long Residual Protection:
Fipronil provides long-lasting control, especially in soil applications, protecting crops for an extended period.
Resistance Management Support:
Two different modes of action help in reducing resistance development in pest populations.
