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.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Whiteflies, aphids, jassids, mites, thrips
Cotton, chili, vegetables, brinjal, okra
*Inhibits mitochondrial ATP synthesis *Disrupts insect molting and development *Delayed mortality effect helps in reducing resistance buildup
*Long-lasting effect due to vapour action *Triple mode of action: contact + stomach + fumigant *Safe for most beneficial insects under IPM
*Used as a ready-to-spray powder formulation *Common in Indian, LATAM, and Southeast Asian markets *Supplied in 100 g to 1 kg foil packs or HDPE containers
*Economical dose and long duration of control *No known cross-resistance with neonicotinoids or organophosphates *Low mammalian toxicity at field-use levels
It provides triple action — contact, systemic, and vapour — leading to prolonged control with reduced resistance risk.
Mortality is delayed by 24–48 hours, making it suitable for extended protection rather than knockdown.
Typically 250–500 g per acre, depending on crop and infestation stage.
Yes, COA, MSDS, bio-efficacy data, and regulatory compliance certificates are provided with bulk orders.
Handled in dust-proof WP/WDG lines with spray-dried suspension units and air-filtered packaging.
