Mode of Entry
- Contact Action: Controls pests through direct contact with the spray deposit.
- Stomach Action: Kills insects after they feed on treated plant tissues.
- Translaminar Action: Penetrates leaf tissues to reach pests hiding on the lower leaf surface.
- Vapor Action: Vapors help control pests inside dense crop canopies.
Mode of Action
Diafenthiuron is converted into its active form inside the target pest, where it inhibits mitochondrial respiration and disrupts energy production. This causes rapid feeding cessation, paralysis and eventual death of insects and mites.
