Coromandel Ferotia Gold Insecticide contains Diafenthiuron 50% WP, a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide recommended for management of important sucking pests, mites and selected caterpillar pests across registered crops.
Ferotia Gold provides contact, stomach, translaminar and vapour-phase activity that helps reach pests feeding on exposed as well as less accessible plant surfaces. Diafenthiuron belongs to IRAC Group 12A and interferes with mitochondrial energy production in susceptible insects and mites.

Diafenthiuron 50% WP
Diafenthiuron belongs to the thiourea group of insecticides and acaricides. It is classified under IRAC Group 12A as an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthase and affects energy production in susceptible insects and mites.
| Crop | Target Pest | Recommended Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Whitefly, Aphids, Thrips and Jassids | 240 g per acre |
| Cabbage | Diamondback Moth | 240 g per acre |
| Chilli | Mites | 240 g per acre |
| Brinjal | Whitefly | 240 g per acre |
| Cardamom | Thrips and Capsule Borer | 320 g per acre |
| Citrus | Mites | 2 g per litre of water; approximately 2–3 litres spray solution per tree |
| Watermelon | Whitefly and Red Spider Mite | 240 g per acre |
For most registered field-crop uses, Coromandel recommends approximately 240 g per acre. Cardamom is recommended at approximately 320 g per acre, while citrus carries a separate recommendation of approximately 2 g per litre of water.
Because the recommended dose differs by crop and pest, always calculate the application based on the specific crop and target pest rather than applying one general dose across all uses.
Diafenthiuron is classified under IRAC Group 12A and acts as an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthase. After activation, it interferes with energy production required for normal cellular functions in susceptible insects and mites.
The resulting energy disruption causes feeding and movement to decline, ultimately leading to paralysis and death of susceptible pests.
Ferotia Gold also provides contact and stomach activity, along with translaminar and vapour-phase movement that helps improve activity against pests located on less exposed parts of the crop canopy.
One of the important characteristics of Ferotia Gold is its ability to act beyond the directly exposed upper leaf surface. Its translaminar activity helps the active ingredient move through treated leaf tissue, supporting management of pests feeding on the underside of leaves.
Coromandel also describes Ferotia Gold as having vapour action, which can help improve pest exposure within dense crop canopies when the product is applied according to label recommendations.
Apply Ferotia Gold when the target pest population reaches the locally recommended economic threshold or when infestation is detected at a manageable stage. Timely application generally provides better pest management than waiting for severe infestation.
Ensure adequate crop coverage and follow the current product label for application timing, repeat sprays and weather-related precautions.
Coromandel describes Ferotia Gold as compatible with commonly used insecticides and fungicides, except products that are highly acidic or alkaline in nature. For any new tank mixture, always follow label instructions and verify compatibility before large-scale application.
Coromandel Ferotia Gold Insecticide combines broad-spectrum pest activity with Diafenthiuron 50% WP chemistry for management of sucking pests, mites and selected caterpillar pests. Its translaminar, vapour, contact and stomach activity makes it useful for difficult-to-reach pests when applied according to crop-specific recommendations.
