Biscaya 240 OD

Advanced protection for high-yield crops

Bayer’s Biscaya 240 OD is a high-performance systemic insecticide, recognized for its reliability in protecting winter oilseed rape, potatoes, and orchards. Powered by thiacloprid (a neonicotinoid), this product targets a wide range of pests, including pollen beetles, various weevils, and the hairy shield bug. Its advanced formulation as an oil dispersion (OD) ensures superior leaf penetration and weather resistance.

Key technical advantages

The innovation behind Biscaya 240 OD lies in its OD formulation. Unlike standard concentrates, this oil-based technology creates a durable film on the plant surface, significantly increasing the bioavailability of the active ingredient. Because it acts systemically, the product is absorbed into the plant’s vascular system, providing internal protection for new growth that emerges after the spray.

• Rapid action: provides an immediate knockdown effect upon contact or ingestion.
• Operational flexibility: with pre-harvest intervals ranging from 1 to 30 days, it fits into various stages of the cultivation cycle.
• Optimal dosage: efficient application at rates up to 0.5 l/ha, ensuring cost-effective protection for large-scale operations.

Biscaya 240 OD has established a solid reputation among growers who require precision. Whether managing pest pressure in flowering oilseed rape or protecting developing fruit in apple orchards, this German-engineered solution remains a benchmark for consistent crop quality and yield security.
