How It Works: Mode of Action
Dinotefuran acts on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nerve signalling. The brand describes systemic and translaminar activity after foliar treatment.
- Apply to the labelled crop: Use the appropriate cotton or rice foliar programme.
- Reach feeding pests: The active is absorbed into treated plant tissues.
- Disrupt nerve signalling: Nicotinic receptor modulation interferes with normal insect function.
Use this product within a resistance-management programme. Switching brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
The following are IFFCO’s crop-specific product rates. Follow the current pack if its directions differ.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 50–60 | 200 | Not given | 15 |
| Rice | 60–80 | 200 | Not given | 21 |
These are directly published brand rates in g/acre and L water/acre. No universal per-litre or tank dose is calculated.
PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. An unspecified interval does not mean zero days.
Confirm crop-stage timing, equipment, mixing sequence, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry directions on the supplied pack. Do not increase the rate or improvise a tank mix.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Scout and identify: Confirm the listed pest and need for treatment under local crop advice.
- Measure the crop rate: Use 50–60 g/acre for cotton or 60–80 g/acre for rice, with 200 L water/acre as listed.
- Follow foliar directions: Use the current pack’s preparation, coverage and equipment instructions. No fumigation programme is authorised here.
- Protect harvest and beneficials: Observe the crop PHI and label precautions for pollinators, aquatic life, drift and re-entry.
