Mode of Action

Diafenthiuron

• Diafenthiuron is a systemic insecticide that is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues.
• It effectively controls sucking pests feeding on the treated plant by disrupting their feeding activity and essential physiological functions.
• It provides long-lasting protection against difficult-to-control insect pests.

Acetamiprid

• Acetamiprid acts through contact, systemic, and translaminar activity.
• It provides rapid knockdown of insects on direct contact and is also absorbed by the plant to control pests feeding on treated plant tissues.
• It affects the insect nervous system, leading to paralysis and eventual death.

Recommended Dose
