Product details
Polo Insecticide | Diafenthiuron 50% WP
A Syngenta insecticide containing diafenthiuron. The crop and pest overview below is formulation-level guidance; confirm the intended use on the current Polo pack before treatment.
What it controls: The listed insects and mites are documented for diafenthiuron 50% WP in India. Each crop–pest pair still needs confirmation on the current Polo pack.
When to use it: Only after identifying the pest and checking the current pack’s crop, method, timing and safety directions.
What to include: The complete Polo directions, a measured treatment area, accurate product measurement and the required protective equipment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Cotton sucking-pest scope: The Indian diafenthiuron 50% WP use listing includes whiteflies, aphids, thrips and jassids in cotton. This is not a general recommendation for cotton bollworms.
- 🐛A defined cabbage target: Diamondback moth is the listed cabbage target. Identifying the actual pest helps avoid treating every cabbage caterpillar as the same problem.
- 🎯Specified mite uses: The formulation-use listing includes mites in chilli and citrus, and red spider mites in watermelon, okra and tomato. Keep these targets with their own crops.
- ⚙️A distinct mode-of-action group: Diafenthiuron belongs to IRAC Group 12A. This classification helps compare modes of action when planning resistance management, rather than relying on brand names alone.
- ⚖️A measured powder formulation: Polo is a wettable powder, not a liquid concentrate. Product weight, treated area and the current crop directions determine use; a retail pack is not automatically one field treatment.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Polo — Syngenta India Private Limited. |
| Technical Name | Diafenthiuron 50% WP. |
| IRAC MoA Code | IRAC Group 12A — inhibitors of mitochondrial ATP synthase. |
| Chemical Group | Thiourea insecticide (diafenthiuron). |
| Formulation | WP means wettable powder. Follow the current Polo pack for preparation and application. |
| Toxicity Label | Confirm the hazard warning and precautions on the current Polo pack; its exact Indian hazard classification has not been independently verified here. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Diafenthiuron affects the pest’s energy-producing system. Its IRAC Group 12A classification describes how it works, not which crop, rate or application method is permitted.
- Expose the susceptible pest: Correct use must bring the target pest into effective exposure to the active ingredient. The current Polo label must determine how the treatment is applied.
- Block an energy-producing enzyme: Diafenthiuron inhibits mitochondrial ATP synthase. In plain English, this disrupts an enzyme involved in producing the energy that cells use.
- Disrupt normal pest function: Interference with cellular energy production prevents normal functioning in susceptible pests. The mechanism does not guarantee control of resistant populations or establish a fixed speed of action.
Another diafenthiuron brand remains Group 12A. Ask for a crop-specific resistance-management plan using suitable approved alternatives; do not increase a dose or repeat early because control appears slow.
Target Crops & Pests
The following crop–pest pairs come from the Indian CIB&RC formulation-use listing for diafenthiuron 50% WP, updated through September 2025. They are not presented as independently verified current Polo-branded directions. Use a pair only if the supplied Polo label permits it.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Formulation-use targets
|
| Cabbage | Formulation-use targets
|
| Chilli | Formulation-use targets
|
| Brinjal | Formulation-use targets
|
| Cardamom | Formulation-use targets
|
| Citrus | Formulation-use targets
|
| Watermelon | Formulation-use targets
|
| Okra | Formulation-use targets
|
| Tomato | Formulation-use targets
|
Chilli is listed for mites, not thrips. Cotton’s list does not include bollworms. Do not extend a pest listed for one crop to another crop.
No potato or soybean use is added from the adjacent diafenthiuron 47.8% SC section. Polo 50% WP is a different formulation, and neither Polo Zapp nor Pegasus supplies missing Polo directions.
Dosage & Application Guide
A complete, current Indian Polo application programme has not been confirmed. Product dose, water, concentration and harvest intervals are therefore intentionally withheld together. Do not use this overview alone to prepare or apply a treatment.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All listed crops* | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Before use, confirm the crop and pest, product rate, water quantity, application route, crop stage, repeat limits, worker re-entry and harvest interval from the current Polo label. If any necessary direction is unclear, obtain manufacturer clarification before preparing the treatment.
*Every “See note” cell means the relevant Polo direction is unconfirmed, not zero dose, zero water or immediate harvest. The government formulation-use table does not supply an explicit application route and does not replace the branded pack.
No gram-per-acre, gram-per-litre or tank-size recipe is supplied. No hectare-to-acre conversion has been made because no complete Polo application programme is being presented.
PHI is the time from the last treatment to harvest. Worker re-entry is a separate restriction. Neither may be guessed from a pack size, a retailer’s general guidance or another product’s directions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the crop and pest: Check the pest carefully and compare it with both the overview and the current Polo pack. Seek qualified advice if the cause of crop damage is uncertain.
- Read the complete pack directions: Confirm that the intended use is allowed. Resolve the dose, water, route, timing, repeat limit, re-entry and harvest interval before mixing or applying.
- Measure accurately: Measure the treatment area and the powder by weight using suitable dedicated equipment. Do not measure powder as a guessed liquid volume or assume a 500 g pack covers a fixed area.
- Follow the specified preparation and method: Use only the method, equipment and mixing sequence stated on the current pack. This guide does not prescribe foliar spraying, soil drenching, seed treatment or another route.
- Protect people and surroundings: Wear the protective equipment required by the pack and prevent exposure to powder or spray. Follow all bee, flowering, water-body, livestock and weather restrictions on the current label.
- Keep treatment records: Record the crop, pest, date, treated area and quantity used. Keep workers out and delay harvest for the verified intervals; do not assume visible pest control shortens those periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Polo dose per acre or per litre?No numerical Polo programme is supplied here because the complete current branded directions have not been confirmed. Obtain the crop-specific product rate, water quantity, method and harvest interval together from the supplied pack. A retailer’s single tank rate is not a substitute.
2. Does the crop list mean Polo is confirmed for every listed use?No. These pairs are documented for the diafenthiuron 50% WP formulation in the Indian government use overview. Check the actual Polo label before choosing a crop and pest. The overview does not establish every current branded permission or restriction.
3. Can I substitute directions for Polo Zapp or Pegasus?No. Polo Zapp is diafenthiuron 47.8% SC, while this listing is Polo 50% WP. Pegasus is another brand. Shared chemistry does not establish identical pack directions, so no crop programme or dose has been transferred from either product.
4. Does a 500 g pack treat a fixed area?No. Pack size is the quantity purchased. Coverage depends on the confirmed crop-specific rate and actual treatment area. Changing pack size does not establish a different active ingredient, a new dose or a different harvest interval.
5. Can I add a sticker or another pesticide and harvest soon afterwards?No general tank-mix or adjuvant recommendation is established here. Check the current labels and qualified crop-specific advice before combining products. Confirm and observe Polo’s own harvest and re-entry restrictions; neither immediate harvest nor a guessed waiting period is supported.
