Product details
Plesiva Insecticide | Cyantraniliprole 7.3% + Diafenthiuron 36.4% SC
A two-active insecticide for the specified sucking pests, mites and borers in cotton and chilli. Use the complete crop recommendation, including harvest and bee-protection restrictions.
What it controls: Cotton: jassids, whiteflies, thrips, aphids and pink bollworm. Chilli: thrips, mites, whiteflies and fruit borer.
When to use it: When the listed pest reaches the economic threshold level; any further application depends on pest intensity and the label limits.
What to include: The area-based product dose, 500 L water/ha, thorough foliar coverage, 24-hour re-entry restriction and crop-specific harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯Defined cotton and chilli uses: The leaflet brings sucking-pest and borer uses together in a single formulation. Cotton and chilli have different target lists, so each recommendation remains tied to the correct crop.
-
🧬Two different biochemical targets: Cyantraniliprole belongs to IRAC Group 28 and diafenthiuron to Group 12A. The combination affects insect muscle regulation and energy production through distinct mechanisms.
-
🍃Contact, feeding and systemic activity: The leaflet describes cyantraniliprole as systemic with stomach and contact activity, and diafenthiuron as non-systemic with contact and stomach activity. These are complementary properties of the premix.
-
↔️Translaminar activity: The manufacturer leaflet describes activity against pests feeding on the underside of leaves through movement across the leaf. This does not remove the need for good spray distribution and coverage.
-
📋One area rate with distinct harvest limits: Both crop rows specify 625 ml product in 500 L water per hectare. Cotton requires a 29-day harvest interval and chilli 5 days, so a shared rate must not be mistaken for identical timing restrictions.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Plesiva is a ready-formulated combination, not an instruction to mix separate insecticides. The two active ingredients act differently in susceptible pests. It is not a treatment that cures a viral disease already established in a plant.
-
Reach the feeding pest: Use the labelled foliar treatment with sufficient water and a suitable nozzle. Contact and feeding exposure, together with the properties described in the leaflet, allow the active ingredients to reach susceptible pests.
-
Cyantraniliprole affects muscle regulation: Cyantraniliprole modulates ryanodine receptors involved in calcium regulation. This disrupts normal muscle function in susceptible insects, leading to paralysis and mortality; it is the IRAC Group 28 component.
-
Diafenthiuron interferes with energy production: Diafenthiuron inhibits mitochondrial ATP synthase, interfering with the pest’s supply of usable cellular energy. This is the Group 12A component, distinct from cyantraniliprole’s target.
The leaflet recommends integrated pest management and approved alternatives with different modes of action. Avoid treating successive pest generations repeatedly with the same groups. A premix does not eliminate resistance risk, and changing to another Group 28 or 12A brand is not automatically a change of mode of action.
Target Crops & Pests

These recommendations do not authorise the same use on other vegetables or field crops. Broad-spectrum activity is not permission to transfer a pest or rate between crops.
Dosage & Application Guide
All rows are foliar sprays. Acre values are approximate conversions using 1 acre = 0.40468564224 hectare; the original hectare figures remain visible as the reference.

Apply first when the listed pest reaches the economic threshold level (ETL). The leaflet describes further application after 10–15 days depending on pest intensity, but also states that the maximum number of sprays must not exceed two. Keep within that two-spray maximum.
*Per-litre dose: the branded leaflet specifies product and water quantities per hectare, not an independent per-litre or pump recipe. No universal tank dose is supplied here.
Do not enter the treated area for 24 hours after application. The PHI is separate: count 29 days for cotton or 5 days for chilli from the last application before harvest.
Do not spray during active bee foraging. Do not apply near flowering weeds, hedges or crops in the handling area during the flowering period. The leaflet also prohibits introduction of hives during the first 24 hours after application.
No numerical rainfast interval, automatic adjuvant addition or blanket compatibility with other products has been verified.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the pest and crop: Match the field problem to the cotton or chilli row. Base first treatment on the economic threshold level with appropriate local crop-monitoring advice, not simply on the presence of any insect.
-
Check bees, water and harvest timing: Do not spray while bees are active or in the prohibited flowering situations. Keep treatment away from aquatic areas and ensure that the crop can remain unharvested for its full PHI.
-
Measure the commercial product: Use the millilitre amount of Plesiva for the actual area. Do not confuse the active-ingredient grams in the original table with the commercial formulation quantity or assume a pack is a fixed acreage dose.
-
Mix with water and maintain agitation: Mix the measured product with a small amount of clean water. Add the remaining water while thoroughly agitating. Prepare only the amount needed for immediate application and do not store leftover spray mixture overnight.
-
Spray the foliage evenly: Use a calibrated knapsack or other suitable sprayer with a hollow-cone or suitable nozzle and the specified water volume. Do not spray crops under stress. Avoid overlapping applications, wind, hot conditions, wet foliage and imminent rain.
-
Keep records and follow the limits: Record the date, crop and treatment. Keep people out for 24 hours, observe the crop PHI and do not exceed two sprays. Clean equipment safely and do not discharge washings into drains, ponds or waterways.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Plesiva dose per acre?
The branded leaflet gives 625 ml/ha for both cotton and chilli, equivalent to approximately 252.9 ml/acre. Its water rate is 500 L/ha, approximately 202.3 L/acre. The hectare recommendation is the reference; the contents of a 250 ml retail pack are not an exact one-acre conversion.
2. Does Plesiva control the same pests in cotton and chilli?
No. Cotton is listed for jassids, whiteflies, thrips, aphids and pink bollworm. Chilli is listed for thrips, mites, whiteflies and fruit borer. Retain those pairings rather than treating every pest as an authorised target on both crops.
3. How often should I apply Plesiva?
Start when the target pest reaches the economic threshold level. The leaflet gives a 10–15 day interval for further treatment depending on pest intensity and sets a maximum of two sprays. Do not turn this into an indefinite calendar programme or interpret wording about repeat sprays as permission to exceed the stated maximum.
4. When may I harvest and re-enter after treatment?
Wait at least 29 days after the last application before harvesting cotton, or 5 days before harvesting chilli. Separately, the leaflet prohibits entry to the treated area for 24 hours after application. These periods do not replace the bee-protection restrictions.
5. Is Plesiva safe for bees or suitable for every tank mixture?
The leaflet identifies Plesiva as toxic to honeybees and aquatic organisms. Avoid active bee foraging, the restricted flowering situations and contamination of water. No blanket tank-mix or adjuvant recommendation is made here; follow the current labels and qualified crop advice before combining products.
