Description
Dufire 70WDG is a broad-spectrum insecticide specially formulated for controlling thrips and jassids in cotton crops. Here's a detailed breakdown of its key characteristics:
Category: Insecticides
Mode of Action: Dufire 70WDG utilizes a triple action approach to eliminate targeted pests:
- Contact: Kills insects directly upon contact with the insecticide.
- Systemic: The insecticide is absorbed by the plant and circulates throughout its system, providing protection from feeding damage even on parts not directly sprayed.
- Translaminar: The insecticide can penetrate the waxy layer of leaves, reaching insects hiding on the underside of leaves.
Active Ingredients:
- Dinotefuran 25%: Belongs to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides, disrupting the insect's nervous system and leading to paralysis and death.
- Chlorfenapyr 45%: Acts as a pyrrole insecticide, targeting specific enzymes in the insect's mitochondria, disrupting energy production and causing mortality.
Dose: The recommended application rate for Dufire 70WDG is 120 grams per acre of land. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper mixing, application techniques, and safety precautions.

- Thrips: These tiny, sap-sucking insects can cause severe damage to cotton buds, flowers, and bolls, affecting yield and fiber quality.
- Jassids: Also known as leafhoppers, jassids feed on plant juices and can transmit harmful diseases to cotton plants.
