U.S. EPA Gives OK to New Hybrid Solution for Soil Insects and Nematodes

Toronto-based Vive Crop Protection has announced its Bifender Duo product has received federal registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, giving growers a new hybrid soil insecticide that combines proven synthetic chemistry with biological technology.

Bifender Duo pairs bifenthrin with a biopesticide active ingredient from ProFarm, giving growers two distinct modes of action against soil insects along with nematocidal activity.

The biological active ingredient was registered by the EPA as a new active ingredient in 2025.
