How It Works: Mode of Action
Afidopyropen affects the sensory organs insects use to coordinate
movement.
-
Sensory target: Afidopyropen affects channels in the insect’s stretch-sensing organs, disrupting their normal signals.
-
False signals: Disrupted sensory signals cause poor orientation and coordination.
-
Feeding stops: Affected insects stop feeding and eventually die from dehydration and starvation.
Use pest monitoring and rotate effective mode-of-action groups;
changing brand alone does not change the active ingredient.

These are commercial-product quantities, not active-ingredient amounts. Original hectare rates remain visible;
acre equivalents are approximate. No per-litre or universal tank recipe is supplied.
Separate amount references for other crops
Tomato whiteflies: 400 ml/acre. Soybean whiteflies: 400 ml/acre. Okra whiteflies and leafhoppers: 400 ml/acre.
Chilli whiteflies: 280 ml/acre. Potato aphids: 80 ml/acre. These product-amount references do not provide the required crop-specific
water volume or harvest interval. Obtain the complete supplied-pack directions before applying; do not borrow another crop’s
values.
A pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from the final treatment to harvest. Harvest, worker re-entry and
repeat-treatment restrictions are separate; a missing interval does not mean zero.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Timing: The manufacturer recommends a first spray when pests appear and a second spray 10 days later for all eight listed crops.
Follow the supplied crop label’s treatment limits.
-
Coverage: Apply as a foliar spray and cover the whole plant thoroughly.
-
Re-entry: For cotton, brinjal and cucumber, the Indian label permits re-entry once spray has dried on the crop. Keep unprotected
people away until then. For other crops, follow the supplied crop leaflet.
-
Mixing: Do not mix with bare hands. Use a tank mixture or adjuvant only when both current labels permit the proposed combination
for the crop and method.
-
Conditions: Avoid spraying on a rainy day and prevent runoff. The label says not to use near aquaculture.
Do not assume a fixed rainfast interval; follow the supplied pack’s weather and rain-free directions. Record
the crop, field, date and amount used. Do not substitute another brand, concentration or overseas label.
Frequently Asked Questions

The manufacturer lists adults and early-stage nymphs in cotton, brinjal and cucumber.
What is the cotton or brinjal dose?
The Indian label gives 1,000 ml/ha, approximately 405 ml/acre. The cotton harvest interval is 25 days;

Is the cucumber programme the same?
Cucumber uses 700–1,000 ml/ha, approximately 283–405 ml/acre, with a 5-day harvest interval.
When can workers enter the treated crop?
For cotton, brinjal and cucumber, re-entry is allowed after spray has dried. For the additional
manufacturer-listed crops, follow the supplied crop leaflet.

No. For example, the manufacturer lists chilli at 280 ml/acre and potato at 80 ml/acre. Complete the

attention. After skin contact, remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly with soap and water; obtain medical help if
irritation develops. Immediately rinse exposed eyes under running water for at least 15 minutes with eyelids held open, and
consult an eye specialist. After ingestion, rinse the mouth with water and seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person or someone having convulsions. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a medical professional. Seek
