Product details
Delegate by Corteva Agriscience
A spinetoram insecticide for specified thrips, borer and caterpillar programmes.
What it controls: Crop-specific thrips, borers, caterpillars and leaf-mining pests.
When to use it: Identify the pest and follow the crop’s label timing; rates and harvest intervals are not interchangeable.
What to include: Use the matching crop programme, clean water and the protective equipment specified on the pack.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid feeding suppression: Acts quickly against susceptible insects, helping limit continued feeding damage.
- 🌶️Thrips-control option: Offers a targeted option for the listed thrips programmes rather than a claim against every sucking pest.
- 🐛Caterpillar coverage: Controls specified caterpillar and borer pests in the supported crop programmes.
- 🍅Several pest types in tomato: The formulation reference includes fruit borer, tobacco caterpillar, leaf miner and tomato pinworm.
- 🔄A distinct rotation option: Its Group 5 action can help an adviser select a different mode of action from products in other groups.

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Insect exposure: Susceptible insects encounter the active ingredient during treatment of the crop.
- Nervous-system action: Spinetoram acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nerve signalling.
- Feeding and survival affected: Affected insects lose normal function and stop feeding; correct pest identification and spray coverage remain important.
Alternate with effective products from a different mode-of-action group as part of a crop-specific resistance-management programme.

*A per-litre dose is not provided for area-based programmes. Measure the product for the treated area and use the corresponding water volume.
Chilli and maize: no operational product/water programme is given here. Obtain the matching crop-specific directions from the supplied pack before use; do not apply a universal 180 ml/acre rate. The harvest intervals shown remain formulation-level references.
Additional formulation reference only: okra fruit borer and shoot/fruit borer; brinjal shoot/fruit borer; chickpea pod borer; and red gram pod borers each use 375–450 ml/ha (about 152–182 ml/acre) in 500–1000 L/ha (about 202–405 L/acre). Their respective harvest intervals are 3, 3, 20 and 23 days. These are not current branded-pack recommendations.
Additional formulation reference only: rice yellow stem borer 350–375 ml/ha (about 142–152 ml/acre), or leaf folder 250 ml/ha (about 101 ml/acre), each in 500 L/ha (about 202 L/acre), with 20-day harvest interval. Mango thrips is listed at 0.4 ml/L and 21 days, but a complete orchard water programme is not supplied here. Verify these uses on the actual pack before considering treatment.
*Cotton: caterpillars refers to tobacco caterpillar and spotted bollworm; keep this row separate from the cotton thrips and pink bollworm programmes.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match crop and pest: Do not transfer a cotton or soybean programme to chilli, maize or grapes.
- Use the stated route: Prepare as a foliar spray only where directed by the supplied label; do not use this SC as a seed treatment or ready-to-use bait.
- Plan harvest: Use the crop-specific interval after the last application, and check any stricter pack or market requirement.
- Resistance stewardship: Spinetoram and spinosad are both Group 5. Switching between them is not a change of mode-of-action group.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Delegate contain?The Indian pack contains spinetoram 11.7% w/w SC, a liquid suspension concentrate.
Can I use 180 ml per acre on every crop?No. The crop and pest programmes differ. Chilli and maize need their supplied-pack directions before a rate is selected.
Does it cover all sucking pests?No. Thrips are listed in specific crop programmes; this is not a general claim for aphids, whiteflies or every sucking pest.
Is spinosad a different rotation group?No. Spinosad and spinetoram are both IRAC Group 5. Ask an adviser for an effective option from a different group when rotation is required.
Are overseas Delegate WG directions suitable?No. This is the Indian 11.7% SC liquid. Overseas WG or other-strength labels must not be used to set its dose.
