Diafenthiuron 50% WP is a thiourea-based insecticide and acaricide formulated as a wettable powder. It exhibits contact, systemic, and vapour action, effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests. Known for its delayed mortality effect, it inhibits mitochondrial respiration and chitin synthesis in insects, leading to eventual pest death and minimal resistance development.
