SWAL TOLPY is a multi-active agricultural insecticide formulated with Tolfenpyrad 30% + Pyriproxyfen 10% + Acetamiprid 4% EC (w/w). It is designed to provide broad-spectrum management of important sucking insect pests in cotton.
According to the supplied product information, TOLPY targets major cotton sucking pests including Whitefly, Jassids, Aphids and Thrips. Its combination of three insecticidal active ingredients provides multiple modes of action against different stages and physiological systems of susceptible insect pests.
The supplied product graphic recommends a dose of 200 ml per acre for the stated cotton application. Always verify the latest registered product label and leaflet before spraying.

Key Features & Benefits
Three Active Ingredients: Combines Tolfenpyrad, Pyriproxyfen and Acetamiprid in a single insecticide formulation.
Broad-Spectrum Sucking Pest Control: Designed for management of important sucking pests such as whitefly, jassids, aphids and thrips in cotton.
Multiple Modes of Action: The three active ingredients affect insects through different biological target sites.
Different Life-Stage Activity: Pyriproxyfen acts as an insect growth regulator, complementing the adult and feeding-stage activity provided by the other active ingredients.
Strong Cotton Protection: Helps protect crop foliage and developing cotton plants from damage caused by sucking insects when used at the correct pest stage.
Resistance-Management Advantage: A premix containing different modes of action can form part of a properly designed resistance-management program when used according to the label.
Single-Spray Convenience: Provides multiple insecticidal mechanisms in one formulated product.
Commercial Cotton Application: Designed for crop-protection programs where major sucking pest complexes occur.

How TOLPY Works
TOLPY combines three insecticidal active ingredients with different modes of action:
1. Tolfenpyrad
Tolfenpyrad belongs to IRAC Group 21A. It acts as a mitochondrial complex-I electron transport inhibitor. By interfering with cellular energy production in susceptible insects, it disrupts normal physiological activity and results in insect mortality.
2. Pyriproxyfen
Pyriproxyfen belongs to IRAC Group 7C and functions as a juvenile hormone receptor modulator. It interferes with normal insect growth and development, making it particularly useful as part of a program targeting immature pest stages.
3. Acetamiprid
Acetamiprid belongs to the neonicotinoid Group 4A. It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. It has systemic/translaminar characteristics and contact and ingestion activity.
Triple Mode of Action
The combination of these three active ingredients provides complementary activity:
Tolfenpyrad: Disrupts cellular energy production.
Pyriproxyfen: Interferes with insect growth and development.
Acetamiprid: Acts on the insect nervous system.
This multi-site approach provides broad activity against susceptible sucking pests when the product is used according to the approved label.
Benefits Against Whitefly
Whiteflies can damage cotton by removing plant sap and weakening crop growth. Heavy infestations may also lead to honeydew deposition and related crop-quality problems.
TOLPY combines adult/feeding-stage insecticidal activity with an insect growth regulator component, providing a multi-active approach for whitefly management.
Benefits Against Jassids
Jassids feed by sucking plant sap from cotton foliage. High populations can cause leaf yellowing, curling and reduced plant vigour. Timely insecticide application helps prevent sucking-pest populations from causing severe crop stress.
Benefits Against Aphids
Aphids commonly colonize tender plant growth and remove sap from the crop. TOLPY is promoted for aphid management in cotton as part of its broad sucking-pest spectrum.
Benefits Against Thrips
Thrips feed on tender plant tissues and can affect early crop development. Regular scouting is important so that applications are made according to economic pest pressure and current label recommendations.

200 ml/Acre*
*The 200 ml/acre dose is stated on the supplied TOLPY promotional image. Always verify the current original bottle label and leaflet before application because registered recommendations can be updated.
Method of Application
Inspect the cotton crop and confirm the target sucking pest.
Measure the recommended amount of TOLPY according to the current label.
Fill the spray tank partly with clean water.
Add the measured insecticide to the tank.
Agitate or mix thoroughly.
Add the remaining required quantity of water.
Apply uniformly over the crop using suitable spraying equipment.
Ensure sufficient coverage of foliage where sucking pests are present.
Best Time for Application
Monitor the crop regularly for sucking pest populations.
Apply when the target pest reaches the action threshold recommended for the crop.
Avoid waiting until severe pest damage has already occurred.
Apply during suitable weather conditions.
Avoid spraying during strong winds.
Follow the current product label regarding rain, re-entry and harvest interval requirements.
Resistance Management
TOLPY contains active ingredients from different insecticide mode-of-action groups. However, resistance-management practices are still important to maintain long-term product effectiveness.
Do not make unnecessary insecticide applications.
Follow the maximum number of applications stated on the product label.
Rotate subsequent sprays with effective insecticides from appropriate different mode-of-action groups.
Avoid repeated reliance on the same active ingredient groups throughout the crop season.
Combine chemical control with cultural and biological pest-management practices.
Monitor pest populations after treatment.
Integrated Pest Management
TOLPY should be used as one component of an Integrated Pest Management program wherever practical.
Regularly scout cotton fields.
Monitor whitefly, jassid, aphid and thrips populations.
Maintain field sanitation.
Control alternate weed hosts where appropriate.
Avoid unnecessary insecticide sprays.
Conserve beneficial insects wherever possible.
Rotate insecticide modes of action.
Follow local economic-threshold recommendations.
