Histar (Bifenthrin 10 EC) is a broad-spectrum bifenthrin insecticide from the pyrethroid ester group, trusted for reliable crop protection. It acts through contact, stomach, and repellent action, giving fast knockdown and long residual effect against harmful insects.

The strong biphenyl bond in Histar ensures longer field persistence. Unlike older bifen insecticide formulations, it does not contain a cyano-group, reducing irritation risks for farmers. Histar effectively manages larvae, whiteflies, mites, bollworms, leaf folders, stem borers, and termites. Its strong soil-binding tendency makes it an excellent choice for long-lasting termite control.

Along with pest protection, Histar also has a phyto-tonic effect, improving plant vigor and supporting better yield quality. Farmers benefit from fewer sprays, healthier crops, and higher productivity. For guidance on pest management, visit our Insecticide Collection.
