Product details
Daita Insect Growth Regulator by Parijat
Pyriproxyfen 10% EC for the crop-specific sucking pests listed below.
Pest fit: Whitefly in cotton; whitefly and jassids in brinjal and okra; whitefly
and aphids in chilli.
When to start: Early in the crop, while whitefly numbers are low and nymphs are
present on leaf undersides.
What to expect: Action on eggs and immature development, rather than direct adult
knockdown.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🥚 Egg-hatch suppression: Interferes with
development inside the egg, helping reduce the next whitefly hatch.
-
🌱 Immature-stage control: Inhibits the
transition from whitefly nymph to adult.
-
🔄 Reduced successful reproduction: Suppresses hatching of eggs laid by treated adults.
-
🍃 Through-leaf activity: Translaminar
movement helps the treatment reach stages on the underside of treated leaves; uniform coverage remains important.

| Technical Name |
Pyriproxyfen 10% EC |
| Product Class |
Insect growth regulator (IGR) |
| IRAC MoA Code |
Group 7C: juvenile hormone receptor modulators, pyriproxyfen subgroup |
| Formulation |
EC: emulsifiable concentrate prepared with water for foliar spraying |
How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Reaches the treated leaf: Foliar application and translaminar movement bring treatment through leaf tissue. Spray the canopy
evenly, including foliage where immature whitefly are present.
-
Changes developmental signals: Pyriproxyfen mimics juvenile hormone, interfering with development inside eggs and the normal
transition of immature insects towards adulthood.
-
Disrupts the next generation: Reduced egg hatch and adult emergence affect population development. Daita does not kill adult
insects directly, so immediate adult disappearance is not the sole measure of its action.
Another pyriproxyfen brand remains IRAC Group 7C. Compare action groups when planning resistance management,
and use any later treatment or mixture only within the current crop directions.

The acre figures are calculated equivalents of the hectare programme, not a separate tank concentration. For
cotton, brinjal and okra, use the supplied crop-specific product, water and harvest directions together. Do not exceed two sprays in
any crop or shorten the stated interval of at least 10–15 days between first and second sprays. PHI runs from the last treatment to
harvest and is separate from the repeat interval.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Inspect the life stages: Check leaf undersides for whitefly nymphs as well as adults. Plan early treatment while the population is
low.
-
Measure crop and area: Keep the chilli quantities and harvest interval together; do not use its water or harvest directions as a
programme for another crop.
-
Mix in stages: Add the measured product to one quarter of the required water with agitation, then add the rest while continuing to
mix.
-
Maintain even coverage: Ensure complete dispersion before spraying and keep the mixture agitated during uniform foliar
application.
-
Choose the time of day: Apply in early morning or late evening, following the pack’s weather and drift precautions.
-
Record sprays and harvest: Record the application date and spray number. Use no more than two sprays in the crop, observe the
stated spacing if a second spray is needed, and retain the full harvest interval.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why can adult whiteflies remain visible after spraying?
Daita acts on egg hatch and immature development and does not kill adults directly. Check the pest’s life
stages before deciding whether further control is needed; do not respond by increasing the dose or immediately repeating the
spray.
2. Does IGR mean this is a plant growth regulator?
No. Here it means insect growth regulator. Pyriproxyfen interferes with insect development; Daita is an
insecticide and its crop-specific pesticide directions still apply.
3. What is the dose and harvest interval for whitefly in chilli?
For chilli whitefly, use 500 ml with 300 L water per hectare, equivalent to approximately 202.34 ml with
121.41 L per acre. Leave at least 7 days after the final application before harvest.
4. Does Daita cure leaf curl or another viral disease?
It is an insecticide, not a cure for an infection already present in the plant. Controlling a
disease-vector
insect and treating a plant disease are different tasks; use a crop-specific diagnosis and wider management plan.
5. Can I spray again as soon as I see adults?
Do not shorten the stated interval of at least 10–15 days between first and second sprays, or exceed two
sprays in the crop. Assess immature stages and follow the current label before a second application; the harvest interval still
applies after it.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Daita label and leaflet before mixing or spraying. Wear the
required gloves, apron, mask and other protection; follow the crop-specific quantities, spray limits, harvest interval, re-entry,
storage, first-aid and disposal instructions.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth and avoid breathing spray mist or vapour. Do not eat, drink, smoke
or chew while handling. Wash thoroughly after work, keep concentrate away from children, animals, food and feed, and prevent spray
drift and water contamination.
Seek medical help promptly after exposure or suspected poisoning and show the product label; do
not improvise treatment. An insect-growth-regulator mechanism does not make the product harmless to people, pollinators or other
beneficial organisms.
