Biscaya 240 OD

Innovative Oil-Based Protection for Modern Crops

"Biscaya 240 OD" is a benchmark systemic insecticide that has earned a reputation for reliability in managing pests in oilseed rape and potato fields. The product relies on thiacloprid, a neonicotinoid known for its high selectivity and efficacy. The development and production of this insecticide represent a massive international collaboration involving global leaders such as Bayer, Arista LifeScience, Isagro, and other prominent European manufacturing sites, ensuring consistent quality and performance across all batches.

The Power of Oil Dispersion Technology

A key technical feature of "Biscaya 240 OD" is its formulation as an oil dispersion (OD). Unlike traditional emulsion concentrates, the OD formulation provides superior adhesion to leaf surfaces, increased resistance to rain washing, and deep penetration into plant tissues. Its systemic action allows the active ingredient to move through the plant's vascular system, protecting even those parts of the crop that may not have been reached directly during application.

Control Spectrum and Application

The product is highly effective against a broad complex of pests that can cause significant damage to commercial yields:

• Winter Oilseed Rape: Effective control of pollen beetles, flea beetles, turnip sawflies, and aphids.
• Potato: A powerful solution against the Colorado potato beetle and various aphid species.

The application rate is 0.2–0.3 l/ha. By regulation, only one application per season is recommended. Depending on the crop, the pre-harvest interval ranges from 20 to 30 days, ensuring compliance with food safety standards. With its 3rd hazard class, the product remains a manageable and predictable tool for field applications.

Market Reputation

Over the years, "Biscaya 240 OD" has maintained a strong position in the crop protection market. Its ability to provide rapid knockdown and long-lasting protection against resistant pests makes it a staple for farmers focusing on intensive production. The combination of its systemic nature and the oil dispersion delivery system provides a technological edge that minimizes crop loss and protects investment in high-yield varieties.
