Insecticide / Acaricide
DIAFENTHIURON 47% + BIFENTHRIN 9.4% SC
Dual-action broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide controlling mites, whiteflies, and lepidopteran larvae. Combines energy depletion and nerve stimulation for effective knockdown of tough pests in cotton and vegetables.
Active: Diafenthiuron + Bifenthrin
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Contact, Stomach & Vapor
Product Information
Mode of Action
Diafenthiuron: Inhibits oxidative phosphorylation, depleting ATP (energy) in pests, leading to paralysis and death. It also has vapor action.
Bifenthrin: A pyrethroid that over-stimulates nerve signals by prolonging the opening of sodium channels, causing spasms and death.
This combination ensures multiple pest types are targeted simultaneously.
Target Pests
- Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci)
- Mites (Acaricide activity)
- Thrips (Thrips tabaci, Scirtothrips dorsalis)
- Leaf Hoppers / Jassids
- Aphids
- Caterpillars/Lepidopteran larvae
Recommended Dosage
| Crop | Pest | Dosage (ml/ha) | Water (L/ha) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Thrips, Leaf Hopper, Whitefly, Aphid | 625 | 500 | 30 |
| Chilli | Thrips, Aphids | 625 | 500 | 7 |
Dosage Note: Dosage refers to milliliters (ml) of formulation per hectare. PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval (Waiting period in days).
Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake well before use. Mix the required quantity in a small amount of water to ensure dispersion, then add to the spray tank with agitation.
2. Timing
Apply when pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). Diafenthiuron works best in warm, sunny conditions as it is photo-activated. Ensure coverage of the underside of leaves for whitefly and mite control.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Wear personal protective equipment. Toxic to bees and aquatic organisms. Do not spray during active bee foraging. Observe the 30-day PHI for Cotton strictly.
