Dhanuka Pager Insecticide – Diafenthiuron 50% WP

Dhanuka Pager Insecticide – Diafenthiuron 50% WP

Dhanuka Pager is a broad-spectrum systemic and contact insecticide containing Diafenthiuron 50% WP. It controls several sucking pests and mites, including populations resistant to major insecticide groups such as organophosphates and pyrethroids.

Pager acts against both nymphs and adults and provides long-lasting protection. Its translaminar and vapour actions help control pests hidden inside dense crop canopies. The formulation is a pro-insecticide that converts into its active form after application and disrupts mitochondrial energy production, resulting in rapid paralysis of pests.
