Brigade Power is a dual-action insecticide formulation that integrates the acaricidal strength of Propargite with the fast knockdown effect of Bifenthrin. This combination provides effective control of mites and insect pests by targeting both the nervous system and metabolic processes of pests.

The formulation works through contact and ingestion, ensuring rapid suppression of pest populations. Its suspo-emulsion (SE) technology ensures better spreading, adhesion, and coverage on leaf surfaces, improving field performance under varying environmental conditions.

Brigade Power is widely used in fruit, vegetable, and field crops where mite infestations and sucking pest pressure significantly impact yield and crop quality.
