Description:

AGRIVENTURE DIORON is a broad-spectrum, thiourea-based insecticide and acaricide used primarily in agriculture to control mites, whiteflies, thrips, and aphids. Formulated as a Wettable Powder (WP), it works through contact, stomach, and vapor action. It instantly paralyzes pests by disrupting their mitochondrial energy production.

Technical content: Diafenthiuron 50% WP

Key Features & Benefits:

• Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively targets complex sucking pests and mites across multiple crops (e.g., cotton, chili, vegetables).
• Dual Action: Works through contact and stomach ingestion, affecting all life stages (eggs, nymphs, and adults).
• Translaminar and Vapor Action: The chemical penetrates leaf tissue and creates a vapor in dense crops, allowing it to reach and control pests hidden on the undersides of leaves.
• Quick Knockdown: Disrupts the pest's energy production (inhibits mitochondrial respiration), leading to immediate paralysis and cessation of crop damage.
• Phytotonic Effect: Breaks down into urea derivatives post-application, which can improve crop vigor, leaf greenness, and overall plant health.
• IPM Compatible: Because it is relatively safe for natural predators and beneficial insects, it fits seamlessly into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
• Resistance Management: Features unique chemistry that helps control pests that have developed resistance to older chemical classes (like organophosphates and pyrethroids).

Crops suitability: Cotton, Chilli, Cabbage, Brinjal, Cardamom, Citrus & Fruit Trees, Vegetables & Ornamentals

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases):

• Cotton: Highly effective against whiteflies, aphids, thrips, and jassids.
• Chilli: Controls mites, thrips, and whiteflies.
• Cabbage: Targets the Diamondback Moth (DBM) and aphids.
• Brinjal: Used to manage whiteflies and mites.
• Cardamom: Controls thrips, capsule borers, and whiteflies.
• Citrus & Fruit Trees: Effective against mites and other sucking pests.
• Vegetables & Ornamentals: Generally compatible with a wide range of broadleaf and vegetable crops.

Mode of entry:

• Contact & Stomach Action: Paralyzes pests immediately upon physical contact or after the pest ingests the treated plant tissue.
• Translaminar & Vapor Action: It can penetrate the leaf tissue to control hidden pests on the lower leaf surface.
• Quick Knockdown: Pests stop feeding instantly and usually die within 3 to 4 days.

Mode of action:

AGRIVENTURE DIORON is a broad-spectrum, pro-insecticide that controls sucking pests (whiteflies, aphids, thrips) and mites by disrupting their energy production. It converts into its active form inside the pest, causing immediate paralysis and death.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 20gm in 15-liter water

Additional information:

• Preparation: Do not add the powder directly to a large tank. Pre-mix the required dose in a small container with a little water to form a smooth, lump-free slurry.
• Mixing: Pour the slurry into the main spray tank and add the remaining clean water while stirring continuously to ensure a uniform suspension.
• Application Timing: Spray in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool and wind speed is low. Avoid spraying during peak sunlight or windy conditions.
