How It Works: Mode of Action
Diafenthiuron is an IRAC Group 12A insecticide and mite-control ingredient.
- Active form: Diafenthiuron is converted into a form that acts on susceptible pests.
- Energy production: It disrupts the process that produces usable energy in pest cells.
- Loss of activity: Affected pests lose normal activity and can die.
Use suitable products from different mode-of-action groups in rotation. Changing only the brand name does not change the mode of action.

This is a powder measured by weight. Do not treat ml as g or derive an acre quantity from a concentration without its verified water requirement.
*For groundnut, Crystal publishes 2 g/L water, but the target pairing, water per area, method and intervals need pack confirmation. The concentration is not a complete recommendation.
Cotton has differing CIBRC entries: 600 g/ha with 500–1,000 L/ha and 21 days, and 500 g/ha with 500 L/ha and 30 days. Do not choose or combine these without the current Mandate label.
†Citrus 2 g/L and 30-day PHI apply to the formulation’s mites record, not a confirmed whitefly programme. Its published water entry is unclear, so no acre dose or water quantity is supplied.
Confirm application route, timing, repeats and re-entry for every crop. Acre figures are approximate conversions; hectare originals remain shown. PHI is the minimum last-treatment-to-harvest interval. No tank dose is calculated.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Check the current pack before treating any crop, particularly those with marked target references.
- Check the product weight: Use the confirmed powder quantity; do not substitute a liquid unit.
- Read the method: Confirm application route, water, mixing, timing and repeat limits.
- Plan harvest and entry: Check the crop-specific PHI and worker re-entry directions.
- Avoid assumed mixtures: Do not add other pesticides or adjuvants without label support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mandate an insecticide or a mite-control product?It has uses against specified insects and mites. The current label must confirm the exact crop-target pairing.
Is it a liquid?No. Mandate is diafenthiuron 50% WP, a wettable powder measured by weight.
Why do some target names carry a reference mark?Those names are supported by general formulation guidance, but the exact Mandate crop-target pairing needs confirmation on the pack.
Can I use 2 g/L as a complete citrus or groundnut recipe?No. The concentration alone does not establish the crop target, water per area, application method or timing. Citrus reference numbers relate to mites, not a verified whitefly programme.
Is Mandate safe for all beneficial insects?Do not assume it is harmless. Follow the label precautions for bees, useful insects, drift and water bodies.
