The Canadian company, Vive Crop Protection (Vive), a leading provider of effective and environmentally responsible crop protection products, recently announced that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved VCP-01, Bifenthrin 10 DF insecticide for foliar use on a variety of crops, turf and ornamentals. This is Vive's first product registration with the U.S.EPA.

VCP-01 is the first registration using Allosperse®, a proprietary polymer-based delivery system delivering maximum initial knockdown which allows the longest retreatment intervals.

Allosperse polymers are UV resistant to protect the formulation on the leaf surface for maximum effective insect control.
