Super Star Insecticide (Bifenthrin 10% EC) – Powerful Pest & Mite Control
The Ultimate Solution for Bollworms, Stem Borers, and Termites by Insecticides (India) Limited.
Super Star (Bifenthrin 10% EC) is a broad-spectrum insecticide and miticide trusted by Indian farmers for its "knockdown" power. Whether you are battling the tough Cotton Bollworm complex, the silent destroyers like Paddy Stem Borers, or soil-dwelling Termites in Sugarcane, Super Star delivers immediate results.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Instant Knockdown Action: Stops pest feeding immediately upon contact, preventing further crop damage within minutes.
- ?️Double Protection (Insecticide + Miticide): Unlike standard sprays, Super Star kills both chewing insects (bollworms) and sucking mites in a single spray.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Residue: Remains active on the plant surface for 10–15 days, reducing the need for frequent re-spraying.
- ?️Rainfast Formula: The lipophilic nature ensures it sticks firmly to the waxy leaf surface, so it doesn't wash off easily during light rains.
- ?Phyto-Tonic "Greening" Effect: Farmers often report a visible greening of the crop after application, as it relieves stress and clears mite infestations.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Super Star works by attacking the insect's nervous system. It is a Sodium Channel Modulator.
- Contact Action: The moment the spray hits the insect, it enters the body through the cuticle.
- Stomach Action: When pests like leaf folders eat treated leaves, they ingest the poison.
- Paralysis & Death: The chemical blocks nerve signals, causing the insect to tremble, become paralyzed, and die quickly.
Note: It also binds to soil particles, creating a chemical barrier that termites cannot cross.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 320 ml | 200 L | ~1.6 ml | 15 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 21 Days |
| Sugarcane | 400 ml | 200 L+ | 2 ml | 10 Months |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray when you first see pest activity or egg masses. Do not wait for severe damage.
- Mixing: Compatible with most pesticides. For whiteflies, consider tank-mixing with a systemic insecticide.
- Coverage: Ensure full coverage of the foliage. For whiteflies, try to spray the undersides of leaves where they hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Note: Some users feel a tingling sensation (paresthesia) on facial skin; this is temporary and goes away within 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Super Star kill mites?
Yes! Bifenthrin is unique because it is both an insecticide and an acaricide (miticide), controlling red spider mites effectively along with insects.
2. Is it safe for fish?
No. Super Star is highly toxic to fish and aquatic life. Never use it in paddy fields where fish farming is practiced or near water bodies.
3. What should I do if my skin tingles after spraying?
This is a common, temporary side effect of pyrethroids called paresthesia. It is not dangerous and typically resolves within 24 hours. Apply Vitamin E oil or aloe vera to soothe the skin.
4. Can I use Super Star for termites?
Yes, it is highly effective against subterranean termites in Sugarcane when applied as a soil drench over the setts.
5. How long does the result last?
Under normal conditions, Super Star provides protection for 10 to 15 days due to its stability against sunlight and rain.
