Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Tafaban works by targeting the nervous system of the insect. It inhibits the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), causing the insect's nerves to fire uncontrollably.

  1. Contact Action: The moment the spray hits the insect, it penetrates the skin and starts working.
  2. Stomach Action: When insects eat leaves treated with Tafaban, the poison enters their gut and kills them.
  3. Vapor (Fumigant) Action: It releases a toxic gas that reaches insects hiding inside stem folds or under soil clods.

This leads to paralysis and rapid death of the pest.

  • Mixing: For termites, mix the liquid with sand or water and drench the soil. For foliage, ensure the "Jar Test" is done before mixing with other chemicals.
  • Coverage: Ensure full coverage of the crop canopy. For stem borers, direct the spray towards the stem and leaf whorls.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not inhale the vapors.
