Overview: 

• Active Ingredient: 47.17% w/w diafenthiuron in a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation 

• Mode of Action: Functions as both contact and stomach poison. It also has ovicidal (egg-killing) properties and is translaminar, meaning it penetrates through the leaf to reach hidden pests. 

• The insecticide causes a “hidden knock-down” effect. After ingestion or contact, pests become paralyzed and die in about 3–4 days, preventing further plant damage.
