Product details
Inframe Insecticide | Pyriproxyfen 5% + Diafenthiuron 25% SE
A two-active insecticide combining an insect growth regulator with an active that disrupts pest energy production. Check the current Indian pack before use.
What it controls: The qualified cotton sucking-pest and chilli insect/mite uses shown below.
When to use it: Only when the exact current Inframe label covers the crop, pest and treatment timing.
What to include: Accurate pest identification and the full SE formulation’s application and harvest directions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🧪Two actives in one product: Pyriproxyfen and diafenthiuron are already combined in the Inframe SE formulation.
- 🐛Insect-development target: Pyriproxyfen mimics an insect development hormone, interfering with normal maturation.
- 🔋A separate energy-production target: Diafenthiuron interrupts cellular energy production, giving the mixture a second mode of action.
- 🎯Crop-specific target scope: The formulation reference distinguishes cotton whiteflies, thrips, jassids and aphids from the separate chilli insect and mite entry.
- 🔎Clearly identified resistance groups: The two ingredients belong to IRAC Groups 7C and 12A. Their presence does not remove the need for resistance-management planning.

| Formulation | SE — suspo-emulsion. |
| Toxicity Label | Read the supplied Indian pack for its hazard warning, protective equipment and precautions; no toxicity band is asserted here. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
- Pyriproxyfen alters normal development signals: Its juvenile-hormone mimic action interferes with the insect’s maturation processes.
- Diafenthiuron interrupts energy production: Its Group 12A action inhibits ATP synthase, machinery cells use to make usable energy.
- The mixture affects susceptible listed pests: These are two different biological targets. Use only the current label’s crop, pest and timing directions; no fixed speed or duration of control is promised.
Use the mode-of-action group, not just the brand name, when planning a resistance-management programme. Follow current labels and local crop advice; changing brands does not necessarily change the way a treatment works.
Target Crops & Pests
These crop–pest pairings are from CIB&RC 2025 for pyriproxyfen 5% + diafenthiuron 25% SE. They are formulation-level reference uses, not a current Inframe leaflet independently verified here. Confirm each use on the supplied pack.

Dosage & Application Guide
Use only the directions supplied with the exact Indian product pack. The table deliberately leaves unverified directions blank rather than substituting another brand’s programme.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Chilli | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
*The exact-brand application method, product rate, water volume and pre-harvest interval have not all been verified. No numerical application programme is supplied here. Confirm these together on the current pack before treatment.
The per-litre column is not a universal pump recipe. A pack size or tank capacity does not establish the dose for the area being treated.
PHI means the minimum time between the final treatment and harvest. It is different from a repeat-treatment interval or a worker re-entry period; neither is inferred here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the exact pack: Match the product name, active ingredient and formulation to this description. Read the complete Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack.
- Match the crop and problem: Identify the crop and target accurately. Do not transfer a use from another crop, another country or a product with a similar name.
- Confirm the full treatment directions: Check the approved method, product quantity, water requirement, timing and harvest restrictions together. If any is unclear, obtain the current directions from the supplier or ADAMA before application.
- Follow the label’s preparation instructions: Use the specified equipment and protective clothing. Do not invent a per-tank dose, substitute a different application method or add another product without label-supported advice.
- Keep an application record: Record the crop, treated area, product and application date. Use the supplied label to determine the next treatment, entry and harvest decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Inframe?It is ADAMA’s pyriproxyfen 5% + diafenthiuron 25% SE insecticide, combining IRAC Groups 7C and 12A.
2. What should I check before choosing it?Match both active ingredients, their strengths and the SE formulation. A similar product name, a single-active diafenthiuron product or another pyriproxyfen mixture is not interchangeable.
3. What dose and water volume should I use?The full current-brand programme has not been verified here. Read the supplied Indian label for the crop, application method, product amount, water requirement and timing together. No unverified per-pump dose is substituted.
4. When can the treated crop be harvested?Follow the crop-specific waiting period on the current pack. Missing information does not mean zero days. Do not confuse a harvest interval with a repeat-treatment or worker-entry interval.
5. Can I mix or repeat this treatment?No blanket compatibility approval or fixed repeat interval is supplied. Follow the exact labels and qualified local crop advice, including the relevant mode-of-action groups for further treatments.
Safety & Disclaimer
Read and follow the current Indian label and leaflet. Wear the specified protective equipment and avoid exposure during handling or application. Keep the product in its original labelled container, away from children, food and animal feed.
Keep pesticide, drift, leftovers and equipment washings away from water sources and non-target areas. Do not reuse empty pesticide containers. Follow the pack and local requirements for disposal.
If exposure or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and seek medical advice promptly with the product label. Do not attempt an unverified antidote or home remedy.
