Bayer Envu Forbid 4F 8oz (6/CS)

Effective pest management is crucial for maintaining healthy plants, whether in greenhouses, nurseries, landscapes, or agricultural fields. Bayer Envu Forbid 4F is a powerful miticide and insecticide designed to deliver exceptional knockdown and long-lasting residual control against mites and whiteflies at all life stages. With a highly effective translaminar action, this professional-grade product ensures thorough coverage and maximum pest control while minimizing the impact on beneficial insects when used according to label directions.

Excellent Pest Control with Long-Lasting Residual Action

Forbid 4F provides immediate knockdown of target pests and continues working for four to eight weeks, offering sustained protection with minimal reapplication. Unlike many other insecticides that only target adults, Forbid 4F is effective against all life stages of mites and whiteflies, including eggs, nymphs, and adults, breaking the lifecycle and preventing reinfestation.

Key Benefits of Bayer Envu Forbid 4F

• Fast-Acting Knockdown – Quickly eliminates mites and whiteflies upon contact.
• Long Residual Control – Provides 4-8 weeks of continued protection.
• Translaminar Activity – Moves through leaf tissue to reach pests on both upper and lower surfaces.
• Broad-Spectrum Control – Targets multiple mite and whitefly species at all stages of development.
• Minimal Impact on Beneficial Insects – Safe for pollinators and predatory insects when applied as directed.
• Versatile Application – Suitable for use in greenhouses, nurseries, ornamentals, and field-grown crops.

How Forbid 4F Works

The unique formulation of Forbid 4F allows it to penetrate leaf tissue and reach pests hidden beneath leaves, ensuring more effective control than conventional contact insecticides.

Mode of Action

1. Initial Contact & Ingestion – When sprayed on plant surfaces, Forbid 4F kills pests upon contact and is absorbed into the leaf.
2. Translaminar Movement – The active ingredient moves through the leaf tissue, affecting pests on both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
3. Growth Disruption – Forbid 4F targets all life stages of mites and whiteflies, interfering with their ability to grow and reproduce.
4. Residual Protection – Even after initial application, the product remains active for up to 8 weeks, continuing to suppress pest populations.

This dual-action control strategy makes Forbid 4F a highly effective solution for combating persistent mite and whitefly infestations.
