Product details
Pager Insecticide and Miticide | Diafenthiuron 50% WP
An insecticide and miticide for selected sucking pests, diamondback moth and mites. The exact crop-target pair matters, and a wettable-powder dose must not be treated as a liquid measure.
Active ingredients
Diafenthiuron 50% WP
Pack sizes
250 gms, 25 gms
What it controls: Crop-specific sucking pests, diamondback moth, capsule borer and mites listed below.
When to use it: When monitoring confirms a label-listed target and a need for treatment.
What to include: The 50% WP measuring basis, labelled coverage and a resistance-management plan.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯More than one pest type: The crop-specific uses include sucking insects and mites, with diamondback moth on cabbage.
- 🍃Leaf-tissue movement: Translaminar action means movement into leaf tissue, helping reach susceptible pests in treated foliage.
- 🌿Canopy activity: The manufacturer describes vapour activity in crop canopies. It is not an instruction for enclosed-space fumigation.
- ⚙️Energy-targeting action: The active form affects how susceptible pests make usable energy in their cells.
- 🔄Clear resistance identity: IRAC12A identifies its mode of action. This is more useful for rotation planning than changing only the brand name.

How It Works: Mode of Action
An insecticide and miticide for selected sucking pests, diamondback moth and mites. The exact crop-target pair matters, and a wettable-powder dose must not be treated as a liquid measure.
- The ingredient is activated: Diafenthiuron is a pro-insecticide, meaning it is converted to an active form before exerting its full effect.
- Pest energy production is interrupted: The active form interferes with ATP synthase, part of the cell machinery that makes usable energy.
- Normal pest activity is impaired: The energy disruption affects susceptible pests. Contact, feeding exposure and canopy coverage still depend on correct label-directed application.
Changing the brand name alone does not change the mode of action. Account for Group 12A in a locally advised resistance-management programme, together with crop monitoring and suitable non-chemical measures.
Target Crops & Pests
Match each target to its own crop or use site. A product listed for several crops is not a general treatment for every problem in those crops.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
|
| Cabbage |
|
| Chilli |
|
| Brinjal |
|
| Cardamom |
|
| Citrus |
|
Chilli mites and brinjal whitefly are listed in Indian guidance for diafenthiuron 50% WP. Confirm these crop-target uses on the supplied Pager label.
Use only for the crops and targets stated on the supplied label. Do not extend a crop-pest recommendation to termite control.
Dosage & Application Guide
Use the complete directions on the supplied label for your crop. The product amount, water volume, method, timing and harvest interval must be confirmed together before treatment.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cabbage | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Chilli | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Brinjal | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cardamom | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Citrus | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Do not transfer a dose from another formulation, crop or application method. Tank size alone does not determine the amount of product.
*Follow the current supplied label. An unstated value does not mean zero or unrestricted use.
PHI is the time between the last treatment and harvest. Follow the label separately for repeat treatments, worker entry and rain-free conditions.
Citrus can have a concentration-based recommendation rather than an acreage amount. Do not copy a g-per-litre figure without the matching label water and application basis.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and check the exact product label before treatment. Do not use a crop name alone as evidence that every pest or weed in that crop is covered.
- Keep the full directions together: Select the crop, target, product amount, water, method and timing as one programme. Do not combine separate recommendations from different products.
- Handle wettable powder correctly: Measure the formulated powder by weight with dedicated equipment. Do not apply it as a dry dust or replace grams with millilitres. Use only the label-directed preparation method.
- Measure accurately: Use dedicated measuring equipment. Do not use the container cap as an assumed measure or treat a retail pack size as an acreage rate.
- Protect the operator and surroundings: Use label-required protective clothing and equipment, avoid spray drift and keep people, animals, food and drinking water away from handling and treatment.
- Keep a treatment record: Record the date and use site and retain the supplied label. Observe its harvesting, worker entry, equipment-cleaning and disposal requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Pager a dry dust?No. WP means wettable powder, not a ready-to-use dust. Follow the supplied preparation method and measure the powder by weight.
2. Can Pager be used for chilli mites?Chilli mites are listed in Indian guidance for diafenthiuron 50% WP. Confirm the crop, target and method on the supplied Pager label before treatment.
3. What does pro-insecticide mean?It means diafenthiuron is converted into an active form. That active form interrupts the pest’s cellular energy production.
4. Can I use a citrus concentration in cotton?No. A citrus g-per-litre recommendation and a cotton area rate are different use bases. Each requires its own water volume and complete label conditions.
5. Is Pager harmless to beneficial insects?Protect pollinators and other non-target organisms and follow the label precautions. Use in integrated pest management does not mean it is harmless to beneficial insects.
