Krishikranti Fifty Horses Diafenthiuron 50% WP Insecticide

   Diafenthiuron 50% WP is a broad-spectrum insecticide-cum-acaricide that controls whitefly, aphid, jassid, thrips, and mites. It is used on cotton, chilli, brinjal, and cabbage to stop sucking-pest damage like leaf curling, yellowing, and stunted growth. The recommended dose is 400–600 g per acre.

Diafenthiuron 50% WP Uses: Which Pests & Crops It Controls

Diafenthiuron 50% WP targets sucking pests and mites that hide under leaves and resist common chemical classes like OPs and pyrethroids. Below is the confirmed pest-crop combination.

Diafenthiuron 50% WP Dose Per Acre

Apply Diafenthiuron 50% WP at 400–600 g per acre, mixed in 150–200 litres of water. This works out to roughly 2–3 g per litre of spray solution.

Exact dose depends on pest severity and crop stage. Always confirm with the product label before spraying.

When and How to Spray Diafenthiuron 50% WP

Spray Diafenthiuron 50% WP at the first sign of whitefly, mite, or aphid infestation for best control. Apply during early morning or evening hours; avoid spraying in strong sunlight or before rain. Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces, since sucking pests hide under leaves. Repeat after 7–10 days if infestation continues.

How Diafenthiuron 50% WP Works

Diafenthiuron 50% WP disrupts energy production (ATP synthesis) inside the pest's body, leading to paralysis and death. It acts through contact, stomach, and vapour action, so it also reaches pests hiding deep inside dense crop canopy. This mode of action is different from common insecticide groups, which makes it useful where pests have built resistance to OPs or pyrethroids.
