Biscay 240 OD

German Excellence in Crop Protection

Biscaya 240 OD by Bayer is a systemic insecticide that has long established itself as the gold standard for protecting oilseed rape and potatoes. Developed in Germany, this product is highly regarded for its reliability and its ability to deliver consistent performance even under challenging field conditions.

The Power of Oil Dispersion

The defining feature of Biscaya 240 OD is its formulation: oil dispersion (OD). Unlike standard emulsion concentrates, this technology ensures superior adhesion to the leaf surface and rapid absorption of the active ingredient, thiacloprid, into plant tissues. This "rainfast" characteristic protects the active substance from washing off, allowing for more efficient distribution within the plant's vascular system.

Key Advantages of Biscaya 240 OD:

• Systemic Control: Thiacloprid moves through the plant, making it highly effective against hidden pests like aphids, thrips, and various larvae.
• Bee-Friendly Profile: One of the few solutions approved for use during flowering (when applied according to the label), essential for successful oilseed rape management.
• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effectively targets major pests including the Colorado potato beetle, rape beetle, and various cruciferous flea beetles.

Application Insights

Recommended for use during active vegetative growth, the product requires a dosage of 0.2–0.4 L/ha. Bayer allows up to two treatments per season. Due to its systemic nature, strict adherence to the pre-harvest interval (20–30 days) is mandatory to ensure residue-free crops. As a Class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols must be followed during handling and application to ensure both operator safety and environmental protection.
