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.
Target Pests:
- 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.
