How It Works: Mode of Action
Diafenthiuron affects mitochondrial ATP synthase and pest energy metabolism. Pyriproxyfen mimics juvenile hormone and disrupts normal insect development.
- Use the cotton foliar programme: Match whitefly and the current crop-stage directions.
- Disrupt pest energy metabolism: Diafenthiuron provides the IRAC 12A component.
- Interfere with development: Pyriproxyfen provides the IRAC 7C juvenile-hormone-mimic component.
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 (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400–500 | Confirm | Not given | Confirm |
The product rate is the direct manufacturer range of 400–500 ml/acre. Water, tank concentration and PHI are not inferred from other formulations or crops.
No current exact-brand water or PHI value was verified. Obtain the supplied label before application; an unstated waiting period is not zero.
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
- Confirm exact identity: Match diafenthiuron 30% plus pyriproxyfen 8% SE on the supplied pack.
- Scout cotton whitefly: Confirm treatment need and crop stage using local advice and the label.
- Complete the spray instructions: Use the published 400–500 ml/acre only with the current label’s water, preparation and coverage requirements.
- Check harvest and follow-up: Obtain PHI, entry, repeat and application-limit instructions. Do not assume the mixture gives a one-shot solution at every pest stage.
