Mammalian Toxicology:

1.Oral: Acute oral LD50 for rats 54.5 mg/kg.

2.Skin and eye: Acute percutaneous LD50 for rabbits >2000 mg/kg.
Non-irritant to skin; virtually non-irritating to eyes (rabbits). No skin sensitisation (guinea pigs).
3.Toxicity class: WHO (a.i.) II; EPA (formulation) II

Ecotoxicology:

1.Birds: Acute oral LD50 for bobwhite quail 1800, mallard ducks 2150 mg/kg. Dietary LC50(8 d) for bobwhite quail 4450, mallard ducks 1280 mg/kg diet.

2.Fish: LC50 (96 h) for bluegill sunfish 0.00035, rainbow trout 0.00015 mg/l.
3.Daphnia: LC50 (48 h) 0.00016 mg/l. Low solubility in water and high affinity for soil contribute to produce little impact in aquatic systems under field conditions.
4.Bees: LD50 (oral) 0.1g/bee; (contact) 0.01462g/bee.

Applications:

1.Effective against a broadrange of foliar pests, including Coleoptera, Diptera, Heteroptera, Homoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera;
2.Bifenthrin also controls some species of Acarina. Crops include cereals, citrus, cotton, fruit, grapes, ornamentals and vegetables.
3.Rates range from 5 g/ha against Aphididae in cereals to 45 g/ha  against Aphididae and Lepidoptera in top fruit.
