Agas Adama

Adama Agas is a broad-spectrum, advanced insecticide and acaricide containing Diafenthiuron 50% WP (Wettable Powder) as its active ingredient. It features a unique mode of action belonging to the thiourea chemical group. Agas acts as a contact and stomach poison, effectively controlling tough-to-kill sucking pests and mites. Once applied, it converts into a carbodiimide derivative inside the insect, which inhibits cellular respiration and energy production, providing rapid knockdown and long-lasting control—even against pests resistant to conventional chemicals.

Crop-Wise Applications, Pests, and Dosages

Mixing Tip: Formulate a smooth slurry by mixing the required quantity of Agas WP with a small amount of water first, then pour it into the main spray tank filled with clean water. Ensure thorough and uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces.

Best Time to Spray

• Time of Day: Spray during the early morning or late afternoon. Avoid spraying during peak sunlight hours or high temperatures to maximize effectiveness and protect the crop from stress.

• Weather Conditions: Apply when dry weather is expected for at least 4 to 6 hours after spraying to prevent wash-off.

• Pest Threshold: Initiate application at the very early stages of pest or mite colonization rather than waiting for heavy populations to establish.

Safety Precautions

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear protective gear, including rubber gloves, a face mask/respirator, protective eye goggles, and full-length clothing during preparation and spraying.

• Handling Habits: Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew tobacco while mixing or applying the product. Avoid inhaling spray mist and prevent direct skin or eye contact.

• Environmental Safety: Keep away from aquaculture and water bodies, as Diafenthiuron can be toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Avoid spraying during peak pollinator foraging hours.

• Storage & Disposal: Store in the original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, children, and livestock feed. Safely triple-rinse and dispose of empty packaging according to local environmental guidelines.

• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Strictly observe the prescribed waiting period between the final application and harvest to ensure consumable produce remains safe.
